Man I don't know if I got up off the wrong side of the bed this morning? Had 
horrible nightmares? Sure didn't have anything to drink other than water and 
a cup of coffee I'm drinking at the moment.

Which since awakening another morning to all the wasted picture taking 
time.... "YOURS & MINE!" Because as I always do, click on what the weather 
for the day should be....... "another wasted bit of time." I should just 
look out the window! If the sun is shining leave the blind-up and know it's 
worth "GOING OUT FOR A WALK ABOUT HAPPY SNAPPING SOMETHING!" Or it's crappy 
weather and go waste the day looking at the screen again!

But really sometimes all you folks get off on the equipment crap that 
becomes nothing but a bucket of puke given you chase lenses, this that and 
every kind of camera types you've owned or wouldn't own, used, or a tripod, 
the colour in a slide is right, wrong, good, bad or ugly!!!

But the techie babblefest is becoming  an extremely tiring drone that's both 
blinding and deafening. For a few short days there was a wonderful flood of 
cruise ship photos really interesting and worth following, comparing and 
enjoying the viewing time.

So OK I haven't posted anything either! WHY? Well my pea sized brain is 
overwhelmed with the canon vs. the S2, the Nikon with or without a lens of 
50mm some say they wouldn't use for the bottom of a coke bottle and it goes 
on. Grain, no grain, etc etc.

And when you get off on all this kind of crap you all seem to forget the 
most important part of the picture taking process....... "THE CONTENT OF THE 
PHOTOGRAPH AND HOW YOU ARE MOVED BY IT!" Never mind what the hell 
lens/camera you used!

Now there you go! Maybe it's just me and how somedays around here are 
horrible bouts of god damn memories instead of my beautiful wife being here! 
:-( And I can't see the keys for crying and I'm just pissed off with the 
world and everything in it! Sorry about the rant.But thanks for the 
shoulders to cry on!.
