The news for me, today, is that Google invited me to come and give a talk in their lecture series.

When I first started posting pictures here Photobucket is the only sight I knew about. I though flicker was for movies. Yeah, I know, but I'm old and didn't know any better.

Flickr did strt to allow people to load videos, a year or so ago, but it's still mainly popular for still photography.

Hey COOL! Maybe this will be the Bigtime break for you. I can just see it now, YOUR gallaries in London, New York, Tokyo and Paris! And just think, WE knew you when you were just one of us LITTLE people! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

LOL

I do think this will help, but this is only one beam in the structure I need to build.

Well, from everything I have heard and read, it's a really strong beam to build upon!

It should help.

Best of luck to you. I guess many Photographers don't have the patience that is needed to get REAL live in the wild shots.

Thank you.

Are you going to use your regulators, or strictly collect them?

I guess You could call me a collector, I have over 100 knives, mostly pocket knives my wife has bought me. Now I am concentrating on outdoor type, Choppers and smaller fixed bladed users. I MAY NOT use all my knives, but they need to be using types or I don't like them. In other words I don't really like wall hangers and I DON'T like fantasy knives, specially those that in my mind do not really resemble a knife at at all. So to answer your question the short way, Users, not strictly collection.

I buy all of my knives with the intent to use them. Some of them, it takes me a while to get around for using. If I come to realize I won't be using a knife, I'm inclined to sell it.

Yeah I'm, not against selling knives I don't use or that don't have a special meaning to me, but My wife put the nix on that. I guess that's ok though, just gives me more of them to look at!
