The disabled should be good little charity recipients and be satisfied with sitting at home and watching, er, listening to the soaps? I think not... Last time I checked, Canada, the States, Australia, etc were considered FREE countries, meaning anybody is FREE to pursue their version of happiness. And, anybody who is happy to help should be FREE to help. Now, GR, perhaps you can tell me why it so antagonizes you that I choose to pursue photography? After all, it's one of the few things in life that actually poses a challenge to me. Why should that not intrigue me? Take Care, Dudley

It's a challenge for everyone that you're trying to con into being your seeing-eye dogs for you. You just randomly snap off crapshots with your auto-everything engaged and then expect the whole world to pick out any that might be salvageable and then tell you how to crop and compose it too--BECAUSE YOU CAN'T. Hey, while you're at it, google for automobile driving-instructors for the blind too! Why just stop at photography? How about piloting a plane? I'd love to see your first solo landing. GO FOR IT! Push that envelope! Fool. <insert appropriate eye-roll that's used when trying to explain something to bona fide lunatics>

I had NO idea you were this gifted to know where your right and left hands are at the very same time!

IrfanView lets me select a portion of the image by inputting numbers, but my screen reader doesn't tell me what field name goes with what data field, so I'm in the process of figuring out what happens when I punch in different number combos. I've redone it and uploaded one that should be a bit better. It's what I was aiming for with that last one. Take Care, Dudley |
