Firefox takes me straight there, but Safari takes me where I said it did. I use three browsers: Safari, Firefox and Chrome and they all behave slightly differently. I use Safari for most purposes as it is linked with my phone<br /><br />So here's advice for anyone following up Mark's link. Go via Firefox (or maybe Chrome).George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-53514778858174152052011-04-14T20:49:14.709+01:002011-04-14T20:49:14.709+01:00Eh?

I know of your deep interest and work in photography. I will continue with a few more sections, probably covering some fairly general ground that is still worth exploring in the hope of finding new, or at least personal.George Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08889600788146987089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4638619958588096610.post-45901897288592529862011-04-14T12:56:50.521+01:002011-04-14T12:56:50.521+01:00'The camera is the eye.
