Just be thankful no one is asking you to try out Canadian sub-marines.

I didn't know you were a photographer. I just checked out your website and like what I see. Does your fiancee take photos as well?


Yes actually it's her studio, we work together now. I met her 2 years ago and she'd owed this studio for 12 years at that time. Eventually she talked me into leaving my other job to work with her full time... it didn't take a whole lot of convincing! ;\)

I used to dabble around with a camera, shooting landscape/outdoor shots in Yosemite and other beautiful places. I need to sell my old Mamiya RZ and go digital...and start shooting again. I miss it.



That's funny, I think that might be the same camera she used to shoot in her film days. She had a really hard time switching over to digital, she loved film. But in order to make it in the bizz you have to go with the flow, and digital was more than just a 'flow', it was the new industry standard. There are a lot of headaches that come with digital, but also a whole frontier of advantages over film. Film is dead as a profession, but it lives on in hobbies. She wishes she still had her Mamiya to shoot personal stuff with, perhaps you should hold on to yours as well.

Are you serious, is that what you do for a living? If so what is Canada wasting their time and money devoloping submarines for, don't the American's pretty much have that market cornered? Are the Canadians worried about some unknown threat from Greenland? Or are they just scouring the ocean floor, trying to find a good spot to build an underwater, indoor hockey arena???

He was making a joke, IIRC, our Armed Forces(Ha!) bought decomissioned subs from the British Navy and on the cruise home they caught fire, broke down etc.

Ahhh... and I suppose they'd passed on the extended warrantee right? Extended meaning once they exit British waters, they are no longer covered!

I've often wondered why Canada even wastes their time with a military? If they think there's any chance in hell that the US would alow ANY ONE to invade Canada and park their military directly on their 12 o'clock, then they seriously under estimate the US appreciation of having a 'friendly neighbor' to the north.

Invading Canada would be about as smart as attacking New York. But besides that... who hates Canada???

The kids from South Park.




FWIW, Canada needs to step up it's sovereignty of the North. Alot of nations are trying to claim parts of it now that it's known to be rich in oil and minerals...that has a lot to do with the future of our Navy, I believe.

That is the main reason for the upgrading (can you call it that?). When the Arctic was frozen over, the rest of the world was content to allow Canada to do most of the patrolling and rescues etc. Now it is a different game altogether.

I should probably buy that Hudson Bay waterfront property now before it stops freezing over in a few years.

Wow, I'm embarrassed!

This whole time I thought I'd named this thread 'The world's newest Axiomite IS born...'. But while looking through them I just now realized I accidentally typed 'it' instead of 'is'... was this always apparent to everyone else here? Or have you all been reading the 'is' into it the whole time like I was?

I feel so foolish now!
