I just would like to say, Thank you for you Presentation on photography here at BRS_Meeting. I did actually get allot out of it. If any of you out there have a chance to go see Marc, do it! Well, anywho, it was a good time. I wish I could of went with you guys after the meeting but I had a long ride home and had to take care of my dogs. I posted some of the pictures of the meeting if you want to check them out. http://picasaweb.google.com/tbeau120...Ka7oyh2sexxQE#
