Thanks Steady, though now I need to know how many replies to wait until I answer like this.
Buzzard thank you. So was the handle name double-take because it is a Swahili word?

I have been an AFF fan for only a little while, mainly enjoying good banter with wine loving folk but thru a posting today on another forum , I came to Introductions. I didn't realize that there are so many pages. However, your title interested me as I am a keen lensman and there's nothing wrong with a little free advertising. I have to say as a subscriber to a few photo mags your catalogue is simply supurb. You have a great feel for a portrait, but it's your landscapes with a pseudo pastel feel that really shine. Also like that Anne Geddes type of pic as well. Out of interest, what gear do you use? I have been a Nikon fan all my life and when price is an issue jump to Tamrons. You certainly have an eye for photography that's for sure. Regards.
