I forgot to give you the link to the CS3 series.

http://www.vtc.com/products/Adobe-Photoshop-CS3-tutorials.htm

I would suggest going to www.vtc.com. They offer a series of excellent CS3 video tutorials. You can buy the whole CS3 series for $99.95 on CD or you can watch them online for $30/month. The monthly plan lets you watch any of their tutorials as many as you can fit into a month. I have watched many of the VTC offerings and find them very good. You can try the first 20 lessons or so free to see if you like them. I'm 61 and I learned most of my CS3 knowledge this way.

I just recently got the Orion AW. I'm very impressed with it's construction. I've been playing with it for a couple weeks, adjusting it, trying different arrangements. At this writing, I have managed to pack a Nikon D200 with 18-200 VR zoom mounted, a Tokina 12-24 zoom, a SB-600 flash, a remote release,both lens hoods, a Xtena-view loupe, a 72mm polarizer, a 4x6 neutral grad, 2 - AA battery chargers with 4 batteries each for the SB-600, a Nikon Coolpix 5700, an SB-50DX flash, and 3 Li-ion batteries, all without using the top add-on backpack and, I might add all of the above easily accessible. WELL DONE LOWEPRO!!!

I have a good friend that just turned 90 a few weeks ago. He's a good natured man who ran a shoe store in a small town in Connecticut for decades. He's very active in his church and community. He's a man who loves to talk to people about anything with one exception. He was on the second wave of Iwo Jima on the afternoon of the first day. When you ask him about that photograph, his face lights up as he exclaims "I saw that picture being taken!". But then his face turns and his eyes well up and he says "That was no fun". He says no more.

 

That's what that photograph means.
