Sweet find. We all need to organize and set up the 'BCFFF' foundation (Better Camera for Fast Frank). He finds some awesome stuff and his poor camera doesn't do his finds justice. I say we all donate to him $1 a piece to his paypal and have him get a decent $50 digital cam with a nice macro. He's earned it. Then we can see some nice clear pictures.
