Bruce, No offence intended.
I've been seeing the 'It must be true, I read it on the internet' TV commercial two or three times per hour down here. And then you linked to those funky pictures I couldn't get past the pictures to even read the text. It made me think of the commercial. Usually, your links are pretty good. I enjoy reading them. But separating the GOOD from the TIME WASTERS on the Internet is a problem. Anybody with some time and a little pocket change can make a web site and try to drive traffic to it. I read your author's bio and he could be OK or just the typical photog trying to flog his images and seminars on the Internet. It's hard to make a living being a photographer these days, or any kind of artist. I don't begrudge him doing this, but don't want to get caught up in it either. Regards, Bob S.
