More photos of yours?...I'll second that!!...I keep waiting for you're artists eye to come awake again on a more frequent offering! happy New Year to you and yours.... :)
Jack, I did get myself a new camera to replace my pocket Canon - being how I am, I studied reviews compulsively but ultimately decided I couldn't afford the camera of my dreams (it actually doesn't exist - I was waffling between a Canon G12, Canon S95, and the equivalent Panasonic models but none of them had everything I wanted.) Then on one of my favorite discount shopping websites, I found a slightly lower-end but still excellent Panasonic hugely discounted (it's a refurb model.) It's much better than my 4 year old Canon IS710, though still not a DSLR. (I have one of those - an older Nikon D70--and am waiting for big bucks to rain down on me to get the lens I want for it! It only does 6MP though so I can't print large enough for my own preference - the photos I did in the show had to be enlarged in photoshop so aren't as clear as I'd want.)
Anyway I'm not promising to post daily - I've made and broken that promise too many times. But I want to refocus (no pun intended) on photography right now, and so here I am. Thanks for sticking with me!
Your comment reminds me of one of my favorite canards: The perfect is the enemy of the good. Instead of holding back and waiting for the perfect camera, get what you can (as you did) and just get out there!!!

You're back. Good to have you. The new images look nice and sharp. A new camera for Christmas?
