hi obogz,
its very nice of you to share your experiences with pring,and most important of all glad to know it worked for you,sharing these kind of stories will help the begining photoreaders to create sense of hope among them,to be sucessful.
and for the people like me who've understood photo reading,and has worked for, will help broaden the knowledge..
and never classify your success story or the thread as useless..

bye,
k
