Absolutely. When I was in the US Navy I graduated top of my class and gave me my choice of duty. My first pic was Florida and I was blessed to be stationed there. That''s where I met my wife too! (duh).Date: 5/3/2005 1:30:54 PM

Looks like you had a blast!! Isn''t Florida the best?!
I haven''t posted pix of my fam for security reasons.
HEY BOPIT!
Went on Hulk and Dueling Dragons rollercoasters. Both are awesome. Also did the Spiderman ride (way cool 3d ride) as well as the new Mummy rollercoaster. Men In Black was also a real kick. I really like the 3d type rides and enjoyed Shrek 4d and Terminator 2 as well. The only ride I regret going on (this time around) was the Back to the Future ride as that turned my stomach a bit. Definitely don''t do that ride after eating or you''ll be calling ralph too. Here''s a shot of one part of the Hulk coaster.
It''s good to be back Storm. LOL... there are MANY times I get strange looks from my staff when reading and laughing at some of the posts here too.Date: 5/3/2005 2:349 PM

Heh... If I could get paid enough being a photographer that''s a profession I''D LOVE TO PURSUE but only if I had paid trips to various (safe) locations around the world.Date: 5/4/2005 3:48:15 PM

First stop ... Netherlands (where they filmed Lord of the Rings!!!). Hahaha, wrong wrong wrong. Lord of ring was filmed at New Zealand! I actually went to the site - close to this heaven like town called "Queen''s town". I actually checked the real estate in the area -- LOVE the town, soooo beautiful it would be a dream place to retire. Of course, did not get enough $ to buy at that time (end of 2002), then US$ weakened after that and Queen''s town''s real estate doubled since then. Well, I missed the chance to retire there. But NZ welcome photographer like you any timeDate: 5/4/2005 5:36:16 PM

Hi Hest,
OTOH my sister recently took a trip (cruise) to Alaska that looked absolutely breathtaking too.
Wow. I appreciate that Hest. Coming from a PS reg who has seen lots of diamond photos, that means alot to me. While we''ve taken scope photography (H&A/LightScope) to a level that I think is pretty darn good its the photographs of loose diamonds we want to master even more. I''ve developed a system which I believe does a heckuva job capturing *craftsmanship* and this is one of the latest photo''s that I really enjoy being able to take. Have you seen this one before?Date: 5/6/2005 4:443 PM

Ah, very nice system. No, I''m a photo *admirer* but not a buff. IOW, though I have an interest in how you guys do it I''m too lazy to put the work into it! I doubt I''d ever get to the point where I''d buy a SLR camera. Your pictures are just incredible, though!
