[HUG ] Re: ebay

If you've got the 128k to spend on a camera, why quibble about $38? :)

Nice to have a signed copy, Michael.

Yes, he is a great talent and has great humanism. I heard him speak and 
show slides in Sydney some years ago about getting close and gaining 
trust in his subjects. I feel sure he would use a Hasselblad apart from 
stuff like that!?

As a biologist, I know the destruction of the Atlantic Forest in Brazil 
has been massive, if not as well known as that of the much bigger 
Amazon. So if somehow lots of millions fell in my lap (lottery?) and I 
was absolutely convinced that his project is very effective, then I 
might buy the cameras as a donation to the cause, because I would be 
looking to fund some natural stuff anyway. Otherwise...

I do think adding $38 postage is a bit rich after spending $128 000!
