You must be photographing in a paralell universe, or something! ;)
Great photo--you get such beautiful tones with your b/w photos. What kind of digital camera are you using (if you don't mind me asking).
I use a Cybershot. I love the Zeiss lens! :)
bhakti - I post the night before and set the clock to the next morning. This way I am not rushed to post before work.
I have a Fujifilm FinePix S9000. It is 9 megapixel with a 28 - 300 lense. All I have to do is figure out how to really use it. I've only had it for a few months and I lost the owners manual. It has tons of bells and whistles, I just have to learn how to use them.
