Well that was 22 minutes ago.

So you must have gone to bed.

Say goodnight Gracie.

I shoot Pentax and Cambo 4x5.

Who does he think he is, anyway? Still pulls his pants on one leg at a time, just like any other man.

Except me.

I sit down, put both legs into my britches, pull them past my knees, kick my feet out the cuffs, stand up and pull them on in one swift motion.

That’s probably why I get a better keeper rate than him. Couldn’t be I know how to squeeze the very best out of my Pentax gear.

Oh, no, it ain’t the gear.

It’s my efficient way of dressing.

Yeah, that’s it. That’s the ticket!

You must be right. I thought it was the "get into the water up to your chest" that did it. Oh well, at least I'm able to do my shoelaces. One at a time, though.

And really, he makes it plenty clear that gear is not important - other than that it has to work. He is definitely a great photographer in his own eyes, but as long as he's able to make a reasonable lliving from it...

Anyway, his wildlife shots are better than mine. So I guess it comes down to gear after all

He was an Audi driver, then?

You just need to learn how to put your trousers on more efficiently.

Then you will reach Nirvana.

I want it frozen.

Ice cold.

Cold is what ice cream is supposed to be.

Exactly my point. Exactly, my point.

Are you mistaking the tropical fruit, lychee, for leeches, some kind of slithering blood suckers.

They are nice. I tried to grow them in my garden in Adelaide but in 10 years only 2 or 3 formed. Also had difficulty with the similar, but different, longan. I suspect a pollination problem when I only had one tree of each and no neighbors for a long way were growing either.
