One of these days I'll get some more but they aren't cheap! I'm just going to work on getting electricity to all of the rural villages in Honduras (but then I'd lose all of that lovely darkness in the houses). >We can swap stories when you get home, as I leave for Mexico on Sunday for >a week shooting the "Colours of Mexico 2" Only this time all digital! ;-) >Then I can compare the results of "Colours of Mexico 1" to this series in >digital.

I've always been a "belt and suspenders" type person and carry way too much just in case something fails. Of course, when I carry everything extra, nothing fails. It's when I don't carry the back-ups that something drastic happens! Hasta luego! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
