I have a cat that is sitting across the room right now looking at me like that.....right now... He's just a house cat, with delusions of grandeur, but the attitudes the same... I think he dreams about killing me in my sleep.

Well deserved! And in good company.
Hopefully you're on a path to selling some work to finance the inevitable "New" gear and LBA

or did you mean TAKE the photo?

I'll do it Matt, but I'm gonna need some danger pay, or insurance or somethin.....
Won't be able to move, or turn left, or right, without knocking over a tripod, or lightstand, or somethin....

may I suggest you start with a shot of a fella in a raincoat (back to camera) holding his raincoat wide open (flasher style) and some people facing the camera, covering thier eyes from a bright light that appears to be eminating from the flashers mid section?

great cover shot...

any way you cut it....
the only way to keep an image from being copied, stolen, or otherwise "Hijacked" by some third party, is to keep them off the net.

have clients, or buyers enter a private site, that requires them to agree to YOUR copyright/licence/usage terms, before entering a password protected site.

Get paid first, before you release anything.

lastly buy your own storage (nas drive or set up an old computer as a server).

I try to do my own printing in house (do use other services when needed), run my own site and take steps to keep most of my work safe.... anything I post on the net is still copyright material, but I try to keep my money making images, locked up pretty tight.

lousy photoshop work, but love the concept!
somebodies been reading my posts!

they look nice on my monitor.

thanx for sharing! I like seeing images of place I may someday travel to!

If you're comming late might as well bring on some new game...

if pentax/samsung bring out some new models in the aps-c miniture feild... perhaps a dunkable, super program sized, no mirror/peta viewfinder, just an lcd on back.

About the current k lensmount. Why change lens mount when you can move the sensor forward and perhaps by adding an optical element into the body keep the existing lenses? or build an adapter like the af1.7 converter to have the new mount on one end and the old mount on the other...

the m will be there for attracting new buyers, and existing users wanting a cheap back-up, I'm sure there'll be a flagship comming.... late as usual, but hopefully with some new game! advanced video, a constant source (led)+flash light unit, wifii capable, facedetection, and more robust waterproofing (not weathersealing).

imagine a standard size prime, with NO ca of any sort, no distortion, no flare, and enough resolving power to hold up to a 50 mp sensor for future proofing.....
weather sealed and fast focussing....
If pentax wants me to upgrade over my 50 1.4 they'll have to give me a body that has the video capability to match that new canon, cause I'm not buying another thing camera or video camera, (audio/video mixing board, and audio equipment is a different matter) until they do... or two more years, in which case I jump brands if I have to. Why carry six cameras 3 vid and 3 slr, when I can carry 3 hybrid?
