Hi to everyone on my list, its been awhile since I have submitted anything and now I just went through a computer crash and had to redo everything again. In this process I had over 1500 photos saved from model portfolio's to street pics, from Show-n-Shine bikes to muscle cars, and a whole lot of great other shoots as well. To those who have alot of photos on their hard drive, I strongly recommend you save them to disc and then you will have them safe. I hate WINDOWS at times, using XP right now and with all the technology and spyware and security, I still found myself a victim of a virus or ? Anyways still got alot of pics saved to disc before this happened and also alot of film photos too. So, I got my Canon digitial and my faithful Pentax 35mm slr film with all the lenses and Im going to start shooting again. Peace. Vancouver has been super hot, we had over 30 days without a drop of rain and in the 80-90s degree Farenheit most days, it finally rained here and what a relief, but now the weather is back to "hot and dry"....bUt..Vancouver is known as a beautiful city and we have great scenic mountains and the ocean here...so Im not really complaining. And to those in other parts of the world who think Canada is just ice hockey and snow, well you should visit this city and see how beautiful it is....you might never leave if you do. Peace Patrick
