LostCause,I used to post images over at maxmpg.I use the computer at a local copy center and the fella who owns the business has helped me do all the hocus-pocus.His computers are slow by today's standards and it takes a lot of time for him to isolate individual images from my camera,or scan and Jpeg everything to email it.I haven't asked him to do it in a long time 'cause it seems to be such an imposition.and he's usually quite busy.I need to do it as its such a great way to communicate.I haven't seen your image of Baker's work before.Its great! I get a lot of catalogues for historical and military stuff,and they recently offered a model of Noah's Ark,which appeared remarkably streamlined.Your stills,tables, and video are the way to go.I hope to get some images transferred ( I collect Stuff all the time),however,with work taking me out of town for many weeks lately,just looking in at ecomodder has been a real luxury.Thanks for all your post,Phil.
