My heart belongs to B&W, so I'm glad I had that picture from my XA to submit. I used to shoot a lot more B.D. = before digital, when I had time to get in the darkroom. I haven't used my 30D for myself since November 23, or my LX3 since December. I'm in my declining (photo) years. ;~) Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer UPAA POY 1978 University Information Technology Services University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/
