Be happy in your own skin, and make the best of what cards life deals. And remember, if you don't like yourself, why should anyone else.
The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.
~ Voltaire

Wildthing said at 7:51 a.m. on May 15, 2008: I nearly scrapped this. Thought it was a little vain to slap pics of myself, however bad, on a tab. Then I thought, what the hell, go with the mood you're in. Glad I did. It seems to have gone down quite well. Thank you for the comments. Glad you're all out there. Mike

Memotions said at 7:48 a.m. on May 18, 2008: I'm with Voltaire. There is nothing I like better than to just wander off down by the river with my camera bag, a couple of cameras, extra batteries all charged up and a bottle of water. I've often planned to just spend an hour and it always ends up being 3 or 4. My happy place is definitely the same as yours', Mike. I love this set. You've really shared your passion for the art of photography and living.
