Hi Luke,
         Your pics are really good - congratulations. Thanks for going to 
the trouble.

         You say it's an old Mavica - I'm tempted to say "good camera" but 
of course it's not the camera. it's the photographer!

         When I was a "short one" my Dad often teased my Mom when she 
prepared a particularly good meal - he'd say "This meat is really nice, 
where did you buy it?". Of course her retort was "It's not where I bought 
it that's important, but how I prepared it!".

         In similar vein I get pretty peeved when I make something good 
(usually woodwork) in my workshop and some idiot says "Hell you really are 
lucky to have all these nice tools". Luck has nothing to do with it, I've 
worked long and hard to buy every tool or machine that I have but if I did 
not know how to use them they would be worthless!

         Then of course there is also the classic one. Someone once said to 
Gary Player (our South African world class golfer). "Hell Gary, you are so 
LUCKY, you play golf all the time and look how much money you earn for it"

         Gary replied, "Yes it's amazing, but the funny thing is that the 
harder I  work (at it) the LUCKIER I get!"

Keep the revs up (or down)
