I don't like winter. Or the perpetual grey raining skies called 'wintertime'. I DO like swifts, nightowls and light shoes. And an electric blanket.
I really don't understand gear-madness: it doesn't bring nice shots automaticly ;-)
If I'm not very generous with contacts, that's because I try to 'follow' your work, which takes time: there's a life outside F too. ;-)
