You have some really interesting ideas. I would love to see them come to fruition. I don't think you'd look like an idiot.....maybe like the Terminator....... btw, I think you need some bling on your sling to go with the cheap red dress. How's the switch to singer working out? Do you sing your own songs or do mostly covers?
For now I'm going to stick with the point and shoot mainly because I just have too many hobbies and I my focus is elswhere at the moment. I'll keep your tips in mind, though, when I finally get to digging out the Pentax.
