Mike,
Glad you are feeling better bro...I remember those pics and if they werent the BAD pics then you have my respect!!

I would really like to see some of the pics you get of the diamondbacks...They are one of my fav's...I have been trying my hand at taking pics of water mocc's around here and so far I just dont "get it" on how to

1...Hold snake on hook WITHOUT it slipping off and biting me

2...Holding camera still WHILE holding the hooked snake for said photo op

Good luck with your festival and post some pics of you using your scrappy 6!!
