in case you are wondering why pictures are always at such an angle....sadly the room is not very wide and I am taking this right in the corner of the room. My lens is not wide enough for a face on shot. I will have to take a couple and splice them together.
24 May 2008 It is finished! (picture spliced together in photoshop)
