Lori, Kerby, Colette, Terry & Sylvia - thank you all for taking notice of this big guy! He looks so menacing, but... I'm sure he is! Thanks again for your comments. Looking forward to seeing your work in this month's contest! #1682405

Susan, thanks so much for the comments! I guess only us "old timers" would know what the title meant! As a pet lover also, our two weimaraners give us a sniff down when we return from a photo shoot at the zoo, the Everglades, or wherever we might have gone! Good luck with your SLR! If you want lenses for them and don't mind getting them used, we get a lot of our lenses from KEH.com. They are very honest and will give you time (10-14 days) to return with no questions asked. Look under used eqpt and also under in transit. Good Luck!!! #1704798
