We talked further about my appr...

Hi all,

Thought I pass on a few stories showing you why experience is important.
Story #1:
This goes back a few years. I was told by the Priest that I couldn't take any photos during the ceremony. Well... I questioned him. Do you mean, not at all or no flash. He didn't understand what I was asking, so I explained. I could set a camera on a tripod with hi...
