Thanks for the kind offer, Bong! If I haven't heard from someone at the gallery by Friday, I may very well take you up on that. As I said, I don't know if I'll ever produce anything worthy of inclusion -- looking through the gallery can be pretty intimidating. But, I intend to give it my

Thanks for the encouragement, P.J. I'll try to keep that in mind the next time I find myself deleting 100 pictures of a smashed aluminum can, not taken to test out a lens, but because I'd somehow convinced myself it'd make an interesting shot. ;^) On 10/3/2010 1:30 PM, P. J. Alling

Ah, very interesting, Doug! It so happens my husband has a tv set-up as his monitor. He bought a Toshiba 32RV525RZ last year -- he likes the wide screen for his work. It's an LCD panel... though I haven't been able to figure out exactly which type. Only a year old, but already discontinued...
