Well...., not t' toot me own horn TOO loudly, but...;-)

Try wandering on down to www.David-Ruether-Photography.com and

try a few sections of the images (though I do not

stand behind the "3-D" images as anything but fun,

and the commercial section is just that - though you

may find some things there worth looking at...;-).

Start with the "Aht" section, then try the others.

And, BTW, I'm also a "gear-head" - for more on this,

see "I babble" for still and video gear reviews, etc.

'Course, you might not like (or understand...) what

I do, so it is actually possible(!) that you may not

like my photo work, either...;-) If you do like it,

there is MUCH more of it (of a commercial nature,

though) at www.visitithaca.com.
