Yeah, I've looked through there and there's some fantastic work stuff in
there. Everytime I see your work, John, it inspires me Personally, I'm
into the "quantity over quality" thing... If I blast through 'nuff film,
there's
bound to be something decent in there! :-) However, I'm learning more
and more to take my time, compose the shot, maybe even think 'bout
the lighting, hey, what's that ugly thing in the background?!?!? :-)

Yeah, that's usually the case. Thanks for the compliment.

My problem is that Cori is into photography, too, so she knows better.
My tactic has been to get her hooked and buying more gear, too... then
she can't criticize me! It's working, too... She wanted a P*nt*x LX for a
long time, so I encouraged her to get one. When she finally did, I then
got me the OM-4. Not a word outta her! :-))) Next step... gotta get her
to buy herself a BIG telephoto... I want the 300/4.5 for myself! :-)

Chris
