I'm Suspicious of Nikon, and it's Sony's Fault
[Note: Be sure to see the later "update" at the end of the main post, which changes the tenor of this post; the fears expressed in the post were wrong. —Ed.] - Sir Thom "First off" as they say—a locution I hate—"first" does just exactly as much work as "first off," making the "off" in "first off...
Sad story but true, Mike. I think you're about the same age as me and, in the last few years, I realised I wasn't going to change the world. But maybe I can change my little bit of the world.

"Love that flooded yard but I'll give you 20Francs to see how far you can jump from that half submerged pallette."
"Great look big GI but don't look at me look at that tree 1000 yards behind me."
"General, you know the court will find him guilty. Why not just execute him now?"
Decisive moment or "I can't get the shot that I want so I'll get close enough that it makes no difference if you don't know"

I'm feeling the need to change the subject this morning, but before we do, I thought I might mention one more thing. As I was reading more about Shaw-Pellegrin yesterday, it occurred to me that maybe the contest organizers need to make it more clear exactly what it is they're rewarding...good ph...
