A lot of great compliments for which I am humbled, however there are a few comments that I'd like to specifically address.
Originally posted by causey Heie, another excellent set--a few shots are superb, but the series as a whole is extremely interesting (as always). Feels real, authentic...
You're not an idealist. Your "idealism" is truthful understanding. You are more mature than your friends. In any case, your thinking is mature.
Take care, be safe!
Causey, in this set I am particularly proud of the sunset prayer photo. But thank you very much for the compliments.
Originally posted by paulh Another great update & another fantastic set of "real" photos. That little W90 seems to be doing a nice job! Til next time, stay safe & we appreciate all you do!
Thanks Paul! I love the Pentax rugged Optio series because not only are they a great rugged camera, but more importantly they have a carabineer - that camera has been attached to my gear with rock climbing, and now doesn't leave my vest. While the IQ of some of the other rugged cameras are very compeititive, and maybe even a bit better, having that carabineer is absolutely critical, and in my opinion, is what truly makes it the ultimate "outdoorsman" P&S.

Thanks again Lupine! I really am honored to be able to say that now
Thanks!
Originally posted by JanG Unfortunately, your photos are gone. Yet, I feel urged to say thanks for your clear, reasonable, and human position in the discussion cited at the top of your post. So few mad people can harm and destroy the lives of so many so easily and on all sides. I very much appreciate your attitude. We'd rather look at each other recognizing the fellow human - more than anything else.
Looking forward to the reappearance of your photos. :-)
Best wishes,
Jan
Jan, thank you for your comments. Like I said it had been something that was bothering me and needed to be written down, and it occurred to me that maybe this update was a good place to do so. It really is a shame that such a few can wreak havoc on such an overwhelming majority, however with the advent of technology it is becoming easier and easier. And in tow, smaller and smaller becomes our capacity to see through the sensational headlines and remain objective and analytical. At least that's my observation anyway.
Lastly, regarding the photos not being there - they are there I promise. I have been having issues with my Firefox displaying the images, so I switch to I.E. when I know there are pictures to display (which they are show right now). I haven't done so myself, but I recommend re-installing Firefox and maybe even using a different browser, i.e. Safari and/or Opera. Firefox has not been displaying approximately 75% of all photos for me, but I can assure you, they are there. I hope this helps.
Again, thank you all very much for your kind words.
