Murry you do amazing work. I was browsing your images and just can't believe what you accomplish.

I've learned a lot from watching you.

Guess what? I just ordered the 20 D and a few lenses. Should be here in a few weeks (back ordered--DARN).

Anyway thanks for everything and your helpful comments!

Karma #1036243
