I met Antoine several years ago through our participation in the dpreview.com Sony forum. When he learned recently that we were going to be in his part of the country he volunteered to take us on a picture shooting adventure, which started at the San Joaquin Bird Sanctuary in Irvine, California. I will post a few pictures at first, with poor at best editing due to the limitations of my laptop. See Antoine's photos of our time together here: https://pbase.com/antoinevu/isabel__antoine

Tomorrow, Saturday, February 4, 2006, we are off on a "Geek Cruise" (geekcruises.com) Photoshop Fling to the Mexican Riviera...a first in our lifetime cruise combined with onboard classes by the likes of Bruce Fraser, Deke McClelland, Jack Davis and Bert Monroy.
