>I can even see the faces...

Thanks!

YOUR pictures are the great ones! Especially the ones of your pets. I'm sure you know all the tricks -- the easy stuff: zoom in tight, set the cam to max # of px, least (or no) image compression; in PS: crop tighter, brighten as needed, resize so the browser doesn't have to do it, use unsharp filter so the details are sharp & finally (the tough part), save with enough compression so the dialup folks can load it but NOT so much that the sharpness is lost.

Oh, almost forgot, "glam blur" the ladies as necessary (of course, NEVER needed for FReepers)!

Sorry to hear about your van. I drive a 20-yr-old global warmer, so I understand completely -- but it's a LOT cheaper than a new one. SURELY one of those handsome singles I see in your pics would GLADLY drop everything and save the day.

single guys helping? good thought & I had done some checking a few days ago..

Mark, who I was with in DC in Dec is enroute to Japan w/son for vacation.

John P, who I walk dogs with has mom in hospital in town 2 hours away..he has been there twice this week & will go again this afternoon after we walk dogs.

John W... VERY LIBERAL. hates military, war, GWB etc.. he has been a friend in so many ways for a long time. He is prolly my only close lib friend.

Paul P has zippo political interest. He is a canadian who has lived in US for years.. he is my ballroom dancing buddy.

Paul F.. professional musician & performs most weekends (including this one).. He is very pro troops etc.

Bill B.. older gent /family friend has mega car problems & can't at this point afford to fix. I had thought he might come with me.. but he has had shingles & some kick back with the cancer treatments. He is a WW2 Vet & FReeped at Walter Reed, Bethesda NH & the White House correspondent dinner last year.

John M,neighbor & very good friend has a girlfriend who would not appreciate it if he & I took off for weekend. I wouldn't do that to any female~

Guess I need some more boyfriends huh???

LOL...

thanks for your comments on my pix.. I love doing them & do most work for free as it is a labor of Love for the most part.. Have a couple cameras & there is a big difference in results with the better,more expensive equipment..

Well, neighbor is picking me up in a few minutes to get van.. at least I have brakes now..
