It's nice to know of another sane person whose mid-life crisis is no more serious than getting an M6! The old saw that the middle aged guy buying a Porsche Targa felt he needed an $89,000 penis may be true for some, but we're all much more endowed with self esteem, so we settle for $3000 camera outfits! With a name like Barnack- you may be the butt of a few jokes, but you will certainly fit in... and if it turns out that you are a long lost cousin of Uncle Oscar- mebbe you can get us a group discount!! :o) Anyway- glad to have you here! Have fun, shoot pictures, and tell us all about it! Dan (How does an '87 Buick station wagon figure in a mid-life crisis?)
