And in this day an age of electronics it's a piece of cake to hype the world into total hysteria over ants building bigger and better ant hills! As far as I'm concerned the world has been fed a pile of BS and suckered big time. As PT Barnum said, "there's a sucker born every minute" Well the Y2K and panic pumpers knew they had a world full of suckers and took it for all it was worth. Unfortunately, I had my first Y2K bug last evening shooting the preparations for the big night of activity and shot a slide roll on one frame. How? I inadvertently switched the multiple exposure lever on the R8 over to....multiple expose! So thirty plus frames on frame one! :( But that's life, but what really tickets me off is I now have to wait another 1000 years for a reshoot! ;) ted Ted Grant This is Our Work.
