These are terrific, x2cme! I'm thinking you should ditch that pocket sized camera of yours and upgrade. Look at how much more you can do!

Thanks, it was nice to be behind a more powerful camera with lens flexibility again - I hadn't worked with SLR since my old 35mm, 100 years ago!  ,,, but change will come, all in good time!
The little pocket camera was a necessity for my working environment (& like it or not, sometimes we just gotta deal with what life offers), but with a little luck, my working environment will change & I will no longer have to deal with the concealability necessities! I've got my eye on a camera now that will be all mine, if my new biz plans come to realization over the next couple of weeks - all fingers & toes are crossed!!!

Didnt want to get to close to these guys as they started to get a bit nervous at my presence, which in turn, made me nervous.
