Ted,

Isn't it funny, the young "creative" whizkids shoot stuff for national
magazines (Like Wired) that are often out focus, badly (creatively)
exposed and full of blurr.  And as we grow older we can't get things in
focus, foget how to expose and loose the steadiness of hand.  So how
come we're not working for WIRED?

It is also obvious that you need to exercise more by lifting heavy
glasses of golden weight at local pub.  

And it is okay even for eminent world-trotting photojournalists to
occasionally USE A TRIPOD.  Time for the Gitzo mountaineer, Ted!
