Hi Tina,

I don't suppose this is a "digitally composed" wildly imaginative digital 
hoax? ;-)  Naw I guess not as the pictures look too real not to be real. Or 
something like that. ;-)  Maybe?

Given the size of the machine it sure would blow ol' Ansel's mind shooting 
rocks, ferns and mountains with it. ;-)  Like he'd be saying..... "Who needs 
steeenking film!" ;-)
