The wife and I went to a Broadway show this weekend and the one on the streets rivaled the one inside! We didn't attend the parade, but didn't need to. "Proud" folks everywhere. Some costumes were quite flamboyant, saw lots of flabby flesh.

Before the "Attic" types chime in, They were loud, but harmless and didn't bother anyone! Not my cup of tea, but it was entertaining and a typical NYC experience.

In Sept, I sent in a renewal for my passport. The check was cashed immediately. Weeks later I still get "in processing" on the web site. I recently got an email response requesting I submit a new application! I checked my copy, and went over each section and can't find any errors. I called the "customer service" line and spoke to a representative, giving them all the info including the tracking number. She wouldn't help me and told me to submit a new application.

Has anyone experienced problems like this and how was it resolved?

thanks.

At your favorite bookseller or library, look for David Busch's book "Canon EOS 80D".

I found it very helpful and not technical jargon filled tome!

I also have an 8930 which worked fine for a few months and one day I left it for a couple of hours and came back to find the dreaded BSOD!!! I could not get it to do anything and finally killed everything and reinstalled Windows. It would not recognize 2 external drives I have attached.

Since it was still under warranty, I called Dell and was connected to a tech in New Delhi who fiddled around for a couple of hours and was unsuccessful with a repair. He also killed and reinstalled everything to no avail. He was going to contact someone else. I've been getting emails from Dell saying they would like me to "upgrade" my warranty for a few extra bucks and then they would repair it!

The upshot is that it still won't recognize the 2 drives. My PC sometimes acts like your son's with hard drive activity. It still limps along and displays some quirks. No viruses found. I am very disappointed with Dell about their warranty response.

I hope your son has better luck.

Thanks to everyone. This is what I need. The originals were in color. The forest scene was in daylight, but I used the B&W filter. Good critiques can send me in a new direction and hopefully help me improve.

I recently took these and did a little minor post processing. What is your opinion/critique of these photos?

I have a general question about your model. Do you guide her with her expressions or does she come up with this on her own and you take the pic? Your other photos of her are impressive and stand out and she conveys lots with her eyes.
