If you have noticed my recent post in the photo forum then you are aware that I just got another camera...It's A Konica Minolta 5D, and this is one of the first pics I've taken with it. Took me a few days to get it transfered to the PC because of some multicard reader driver installation problems...piece of s--t thing. Oh well, now that I just returned it I got me another one and it works fine and dandy...so far anyways. It even has a cool metal casing, and was less expensive than that plastic piece of s**t I nearly smashed with my big sledge hammer. As long as I am on the subject of technical matters I will even include this photo's EXIF info. here in my commentary notes for your reading pleasure, but please don't get used to this EXIF info. kind of thing. I do not intend to make a habit of it. I already have too many bad habits as it is without becoming an EXIF info. posting junky.

I dedicate this to my friend Pete/DarkestAngel. I just wanted to say to you Pete, I think you are very cool, and one of the nicest and most talented photographers I know; a genius artist who I admire and respect and am happy to have the opportunity to have met and know you, and I appreciate the kindness you've shown me and for your friendship. Sorry this is all I have to offer you...I found it kind of hard to upload barbiturates and tranquilizers, but I did try. I have an idea...I bet if I had some good hash I could figure it out. Drugs are not the answer...please ignore what I just said...or don't. ;-) but regardless...please cheer up. You are not alone...I must as well... TY 4 Looking -Peace :-)
