No download today, my friend is babysitting a laberdoodle, ( Whatever ) Oh well " it gives me some time to upgrade my pic's, Thank's again Paul for all the help on your post, it's really helping me out, slowly but surely I can see the improvement, I really love taking pic's in the noonday sun as i did today," much much " better results for now until I get those new bulb's and equipment and finish my set up. Regards, Chad G.

Wish I only had one, only means I have to look twice as hard, twice as much. Oh well on the upside it really makes for an interesting game of hide and seek & seek & seek.

I have quite the collection of them myself. A great number of which are rare multi colored Akro cork mistakes, I had a friend come over the other day and while he was looking through a curio stopped and asked me if he was seeing thing's or those marbles were really ( as he said ) all funny lookin.

Was about 10 year's ago, allot has changed, You can't even fish there anymore, it's the last glacier fed river on your way up the Columbia river border between ore. and wash. Anyway thank's Stephen for the comment, ( GOOD MEMORIES )

I have Stephen on my you tube fav's, watched the new video same day, very informative, as is his entire site. I collect mainly Peltier and can barely keep up w/ all the new names. I'll just keep collecting what I like and worry about the names later.

Them's some nice spuds !! Love the Ravenswoods, your pic's look pretty good to me !!

I caught this steel head in the Deschutes river before they closed it to fishing during most of the year. For people who don't know a steel head is not a salmon but a salmonid or in the salmon family. It's actually a sea run trout, this one was 40 inches long and weighed 20 lbs., not the biggest I've ever caught but a very nice fish.

Absolutely !! "but " I'm not quite ready to relent yet, got some very sound advice from jeeperman and I can still keep the $$ and time on the down-low. Thank you though for the encouragement.

Thank's load's jeeperman, I'll soak up all I can from your post & the site you gave seem's to be just what the Dr. ordered. I guess the day's of disposable camera's and Kodak instamatic's are long gone, Thank you again. Regards, Chad G.

Just found your photo info, when I came back and looked at my post from earlier today, all will be a great help i'm sure. Thank you much I need all the advice I can get. I'm going to send you a test email, just in case I need any further assistance. Regards, Chad G.

Should have a bunch of new pic's on Friday. My buddy is coming over to load onto my PC & ext. hard drive just in case !! Man you talk about allot of work, I literally have 40 to 50 hrs. into the pic's I took, take , look, delete and retake until I have the best possible result's, it's gotta get better than this, have to get a new camera.This camcorder just doesn't have the capacity to give the quality of pictures I desire. Time to save some money up.

Nice snake skin, and the box just leaves me speechless, all are nice marble's and well worth the wait at whatever price. I am an alley freak and let me tell ya them marble's got me freakin out. An alley lover's dream come true. Regards, Chad G.

When I was around 10 year's old we where in the middle of moving into a new house. I was in my parents room helping my Mother carry her dresser drawers to the truck when I seen a beautiful aqua peltier feathered slag, when I say beautiful I mean the color not the marble. It appeared to have gone through world war 3, there wasn't a smooth spot left on it. I asked my Mother why she still had it. She said it was her lucky shooter, though I couldn't tell what size it formerly was. I asked her if I could have it, she thought for just a second then gave it to me and told me to never give it away. I still have the marble and will take a pic of it for my album so you can see how really beat up it is. Anyhow that is my earliest memory of marbles besides using grandpas old ones for sling shot ammo, with the money I shot at squirrels and bird's I could probably put a down payment on a house. Just measured it, what's left come's in at 45/64 or 23/32 or ...... different measurement every turn I take. By the way it hold's a very prominent spot in my collection, the one marble I will never sell nor trade. As a matter of fact speaking of peltier the first marbles I bought where pelts, I couldn't get over the variety of marbles they made. A fascination that continues to this day.

I also took some pic's of a bunch of marble related stuff too, just something to stimulate a conversation. Should have them all transferred to my PC by tomorrow, and get some posted hopefully.

Oh she's not the only one !!! she's got a brother who picked up on her little habit's all to quickly, I wonder why they always seem to imitate the bad habit's and not the good ????

Thank you, I try to concentrate on quality instead of quantity so I don't end up stuck w/ a bunch of mib's that neither I or anyone else would want, unless extremely rare and I really, really, really like it.

This is my little marble counting partner, meaning if I leave my marbles where she can get ahold of them, I can count on not seeing them for a while.

I have taken a bunch of pics of my favorites, hope to see some of yours ? All my pictures are taken w/ a Sony handy cam in macro kind of cheesy but best I can afford. ( my friend will be over soon to help me download to p.c. Hope to see some of your favorites either now or later. Regards, Chad G.

I apologies if I infringed on the posting rules of the lounge by posting this photo, from now on either marble's or related material. Sincerely, Chad G.

Hello all, Starting to kinda get the hang of this, I'm not to computer literate so please be patient w/ me. If you see me making mistakes please let me know the correct procedure, it would much be appreciated. Regards, Chad G.

Better pic's next time ( I hope ) Chad G.
