Thanks, the camera is quite good (as flickr points out, it's a Sony A-100, they're up to 700 by now though) but it's taken a while for me to figure it out well enough to take good pictures.
Also it helps that I shoot everything in raw, and tweak it all in adobe lightroom.
I tried not to live behind the camera too much though, so there's a lot of stuff that never got pictures taken, I'll just have to rely on the ol' memory for that.
I'm serious about Oregon though, over half the people we met were from Oregon.
The one, the only, the undisputed king of the world.
