Thanks so much Larry, I'm able to learn so fast because of sites like this, where the help and comments are always so immediate and useful. Everything I've wanted to know I've been able to find somewhere online....its a revelation! lol Thanks for your kind words about my work, I'm impressed with your portfolio too.
Then you are my kind of sucker, Mel. Took a look at your portfolio, if you just started doing photography in 2003, you are quick study, wonderful collection, very advanced, professional quality stuff, and nice camera by the way.
