My pleasure.

By the way, the attached photo was selected for publication in a hard cover volume just released. It started out as a simple contest entry... What's even more shocking to some is that it was taken with the $200 Kodak CX6330 digital that I keep in my car for just such unexpected opportunities (Don't underestimate Kodak digital cameras, the clarity and color is as good as my 6 megapixel Cannon and 4 megapixel Panasonic cameras that cost 5 and 3 times as much, respectively).



Here's another shot with that same inexpensive Kodak. This one made the semi-finals in the only contest it was entered in.



Finally, this next image began as a digital photo. It was modified to its current form by using Photoshop's dry brush filter. Printed on heavy stock and framed, it's been added to the wall of my den.



With the ever-increasing quality of digital cameras, great software and extremely high quality (and low cost) printers, there is almost nothing beyond the reach of anyone with even the slightest talent for photography. People such as your "better half" will find a whole new world of creative possibilities that previous generations never even dreamed of.

My regards,

Widewing
