I was kicking this around in my head when I read the article. At first why sure, be a good doobie and donate them, but on the other hand $450,000.
Now this ain't some kid's milk money, it's mostly donations of wealthy patrons and grants from large funds already established.
Oh the good shit I could do, the lives I could shake up, with that.
I've a feeling that debate would go on until the moment I made a rash decision.

A short time ago I would have though so, but recently there's been a lot of shenanigans going on with copyrights, patents, international treaty language, powerful lobbies, and trolls.

The negatives (and pictures) are remarkably clear because they had lots of light with the snow, and lots of time as most aren't action shots.
