Too bad you've made your opinion of the list from what we say. (Though most of what we say is brilliant!) Stick around, and on Mondays you'll be dazzled by some wonderful photographs. I know you must have tuned in since Monday, because there have been some nice pics posted this week. On Fridays we do a swap and sell thing. The photographs is why we call ourselves photographers. The talk is what we do to amuse ourselves when we are not doing that photo thing we do, kinda like in a Pub?
