maybe my favorite image! my new sony wouldnot work... and i took my broken nikon and snapped fast... 1/9th sec :(,
then took a 2nd shot of just the young girl! but thought i had deleted it, likely my favoirite image by mistake... but i now find it is
on a balky/damaged flash card... i can not download it... but am glad it exists in some elusive form and hope to recover it... ideas??
i can see it for a sec in the camera... and then it flashes ...bad format or somesuch heartache!

this image comes to you by a giant satelitte dish and my pushing a card reader into a pc here ... it just fit, and then pushing a thousnad buttons a gazillion times... and then slkiing somehting and then taking the card out to find the jpeg number and thren trying all over again and then finding the numjber and pusing a butoon and then ...nothin for a very long time...
and the

oh my gosh! from the village of Kelonia, Pohnpei, where my son was a volunteer teaching 12th grade english... at Pix High scholl...
this image comes to you from a few moments ago right here in Pohnpei, filled with gorgeous children who regal at there images on the lcd screen... this shot comes cause i dragged my old nkon along.. and low and behld my new sony r1... decided to nolonger accept the battery that has workded before,,, so of i went with the old broken camera that works a bit... and here is a scene of 3 young Pohnpeian children for you to enjoy..
