Yipeee I am off to Arizona.

In half an hour I shall check in for my flight, then take the dogs to the kennels and get the last minute shopping done. Packing this afternoon, ready for an early start to the airport, and a very long day tomorrow.

I'll be around a bit longer today but then I'm gone for three weeks. If I get withdrawal symptoms I shall of course check in on you guys from whatever hotel room I'm in, but it won't be that frequently as I'm sure you will understand.
Have a great trip and don't be doing yourself a mischief like you did on your previous hols.

Great shots phil.
It always astounds me when i look at these old castles and cathedrals how they could build them so grand with the technology of the day.

ohh....it is probably because you usual have the flash light diffused with your rig. (as far as I remember from your shot of it).
Yep i do have the dual rig diffused and it makes all the difference.
The ring flash is ok in certain applications but i believe the dual rig adds more pop.

The spider is only about 20mm in size actualy.

I've printed off a few and as I enjoy woodwork I've made my own frames too - they make good gifts The last 2 years I've also made calenders for family and friends which have gone down quite well as christmas presents. My one concern - and it would appear from some of the photos in Clarkys rumpus room that I am not alone - is that some prints don't seem to keep their colour. My wife had a picture printed professionally a couple of years ago and it has faded a lot - to the point where it really should be binned. What have others found? Is this a deterrent to printing off your photos?

A lot of my pics have faded But since upgrading from an old HP to an Epsom and Epsom recommeded paper the results are way better.

Ok Don i don't want you getting the wrong impression
Thats not a bong but my extra long beer mug. Chugged many of them over the years (hic)

The jumper cables are in fact solar powered trickle charges for keeping the bike battery juiced up.

And the cop cars are from the Movie World theme park on the Gold Coast. Its the Police academy show

So i am not a drug peddler with cops banging on my door every other weekend Nor do i lure people into the room and strap them too tables and torture them with electricity.
I hope i have cleared that up.
