Medium duty tripod.
I currently admin two group, Macro In Black & White ( www.flickr.com/groups/macroinblackwhite/ ) and Macro Exploration ( www.flickr.com/groups/macroexploration/ ) that you all are welcome to check out and join.
I would like to thank everyone who has taken time to comment and favorite my pictures; I truly appreciate all the input! Thanks for 20,000+ page views!

"This is what the LORD says, he who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it—the LORD is his name: 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.'"

"Let me please write my comment in german. I just can not explain it adequately in english, because your pics are so excellent and creative!
Schaut unbedingt einmal hier rein. Ich muß sagen, daß mich diese Bilder wirklich voll vom Hocker hauen!
Da ist jemand aber mal richtig cool am experimenieren und ausprobieren.
Davon würde ich mir gerne ein paar Inspirationen mitnehmen und denke daß es Euch auch so geht damit.
Der absolute Hammer!
I hope that was O.K. for you.

"I discovered oddball on the explore page many months ago, and noticed his knack for creativity and wonderful style. I actually loved his work so much, I tried some of the same subjects myself with exciting results!! I appreciate all oddball has done for the flickr community, and I'm proud to have this innovative photographer on my list of contacts"
