My sis takes pics of famous folks professionally out in Vegas but I don't think she has time for a bunch of bottles. Got to build one of those boxes and get with it. Got plenty of nice bottles to take pics of. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to Shagnasty) Post #: 7
