Awesome pipe. Good on you. Glad to hear he is doing better.

Meershaum tip: Light carefully. It burns easily. I ruined mine. :(

yeah that's what the guy at the shop had said. he also mentioned to not touch the bowl the first couple of times that it's smoked.

honestly though, i think it's going on display in his house or restaurant. not sure which.

and thanks w/the roommate. he's in for a long, long recovery.

Glad you said that. I forgot about the no touch. It will get stained with the oils from your hands/fingers. Display is the way to go.

I went to Puerto Rico with my wife for the wedding of her best friend's son. It was a big wedding and they had it covered with 2 photographers and a crew of video shooters so I just took pictures more for me, some of which I will put on a CD and send to the newly weds.

Anyway the reception was in a super dark room mostly lit with colored spot lights, neon like lights and candles. So I took a lot of pictures using my 85mm 1.2 lens and set the ISO way up to like 12,000!

So here are 2 examples of the shots I took and some blown up details just to show how amazing the Canon sensor in my camera is as well as the lens although the depth of field was very slim. I was impressed! :cool:

I'm envious.

My Panasonic gets tons of noise set at 400.

Other than that, it's a neat camera.

My God, those are spectacular. :eek:

outstanding!

Stunning photos!! You're inspiring me to get my camera out again. Wow. :notworthy:

Here is shot I took awhile back of a juvenile male elephant letting all hang out. Damn that thing is big! :eek:

COCK!
