Larry, There are some interesting photos in that set... ... and some that are hard to through away, even though they aren't good enough (e.g. 20091205-lrc36493) .... I know...
Sorting out and tweaking them is a tedious work... That's why I kind of refuse being the "official" photographer at any og the dance events I go to... Even if I end up being one.. :-) Good luck and thanks for sharing.
