Thanks, Brat... :-) I'm still looking for a Brat Cot (hereinafter referred to as, BC) for my next photo workshop... ;-) On a photo entry related note. I was looking at recent entries a bit ago. There were some that really struck me, and I wanted to know more about them. How about if we all try to add a short description, or where the image was taken, when we up load to the contest?

Bob, with all the site issues mentioned in other posts, I don't think thumb-twiddling is an option. There are some serious web and customer issues that probably are keeping everyone busy. We on the other hand can twiddle. (sorry about the pun)

Way to go everyone, even The Brat.... :-) I'm still holding at 2 EPs out of 9 entries.. :-( This no sleep at the workshop caught up with me, so I skipped the morning session, and got another 5 hours sleep. I, also, figured out the "no sleep" strategy for workshops....after my extra long nap this morning, I feel more stiff/sore/sunburned/just plain tired that I probably would have with the 2 hours sleep I would've gotten had I not skipped the morning shoot...... Good luck to all for more EPs.. :-)

I'm 20 for 28 so far this month and 23 last month. That's a big jump from the 4 or 5 in previous months. So, Usman's comment about getting a higher EP count the last couple of months started me thinking (a very dangerous thing) :-). I'm beginning to wonder if the higher count is due to a lower entry level. I know I've improved over the last year, but ...... not all of a sudden. Against Usman and the rest you folks I'm just a duffer! But, a very, very happy duffer!!
