Guest guest Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Char, Once in a blue moon, I am asked to speak or give a short seminar dealing with some aspect of photography. (Trust me, it is NOT very often) When I do, the last thing I leave the audience with is a motto that I have slowly adopted over the years. I share my motto with you, and all that will read this, because I think it applies to everything in life - whether you are religeous or not. " Only you can keep your focus, and only you can control your light. " The shutterbugs out there will understand this about a milisecond quicker that the others.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Hi nne, I sometimes fall behind in my reading of posts - so I'm wondering, did the shave your head contest end? I pledged a free chemo hat to the winner, so if someone won, please send me a note with my name in the subject line. I want to be sure they get their prize.
