Up in the lounge were a father son team that was there for the Jumper show, same place, only in the main arena. I know he moved from a Minolta film camera (he has stopped by to chat on occasion before)to a Sony Alpha digital, and his father had the manual out for his new rebel.
As i had finished around 10:30 or so, i went over to watch some Jumper rounds. I could see them testing, looking, reading, then look over at me. I was wondering if they would pop over, but they did not. I heard them complain about poor quality shots they took from the last indoor show and that 99% were deleted. I left then.:-). I need SOME customers after all.:-) Dave On Mon, Mar 24, 2008 at 9:37 AM, Jerome <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dave, you did better than me.
