Max; I finally figured it out when I checked your pictures about dogs, had to laugh at myself. I love photography as well, but just didn't get around to replacing my SLR when it died a couple of years ago. Tim bought me one for a late Christmas present, but of course it is more advanced than my other one and I am getting to know it. It is a Canon Rebel 3Ti, with a long and medium telephoto lens. I really want to do up close shots, but just can't pull the trigger on the dedicated macro lenses. I have a cazillian pictures of my irritating parrot, so many that my oldest son who is now 31 got jealous. You have beautiful dogs, made me miss my Kona. He was the darkest red Golden Retriever that I have ever seen, many thought he was a husky Setter.
