This is humble's first adventure with his Casio LCD Digital Camera QV-300, so be kind.

Over 30 wonderful pictures you posed for didn't come out at all.

It doesn't have a flash and it only takes good pictures where there is plenty of light, like outside.

Monmouth, Maine, November 9, 2002.

Gremlins release the brake in Marsha's car, and it rolls down the bank while she is watering the roses at the Tenants Harbor Boat Yard. Those white things are masts off rich kid yachts.


Marsha, The Almost Perfect Woman, and humble in Lysekil, Sweden, around 1999.


Stop by when you get to St. George, Maine and I'll give you a ride in my 1919 Model T. When I was a kid it sat about 1,000 feet SE of where this picture was taken. I bought it in 1951 for $10.
