Heh, I was just being tongue in cheek. You know I have the greatest respect 
for your photos. In fact, now that I have done some "travel photos," I have 
a lot of respect on Karen's Ethnophotography and Tina's stuff. It is so 
darn tough to shoot what you guys do!!! When I look at my photos, I almost 
feel like chunking the whole setup out the windows and take up something 
else....
