on the Plain' (That isn't the correct title--I forgot to write it 
down).

Hi Jon

Thanks so much for going and for the compliments. I missed you by five 
minutes - walking in just after you left!

Interesting you like those two photos the most  - both were infra-red. 
I love the way it makes the photos feel kind of like an African 
Midsummer Night's Dream.

Also, I'm no fan of wildlife photography as we know it either - I find 
most of it completely artless. I'd like to think I'm doing something 
new with it, utterly arrogant though that sounds!

nicely made prints but beautiful images too.

Please try jumping on the IJC wagon. I'm thrilled with it. I'm not the 
msot technically savvy of photographers on the digital front - most 
guys on this forum are way more experienced than me - and I'm 
constantly learning how to make my prints better - but I do know that 
with OPM/IJC I'm finally getting prints that I like.

Thanks again Jon. Yes, anyone in NY before August 30, please check it 
out.
