We have a new camera (well, hand-me-down one, really but it's still new) and I didn't know how to use it properly. So I got an afternoon off for myself at our cottage in Bordeaux and started to fumble with the camera and the results were amazing.<br /><br />I loved your shots and I look forward to more.<br /><br A Cuban In Londonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423293358605007539noreply@blogger.com
