    One of my favorite things I used to do as a child was watch the raindrops through a window. Hearing the clattering on the window and watching the images reshape and distort, fueled my imagination. Thanks for the memories.

    Philip Bloom would love this, but only because he has a penchant for wide open apertures.

    Personally, this is a little too simple for my taste.
    Sorry to be the only nay-sayer.

    Sometimes not focusing is where true genius is found. I'm glad I didn't listen to my high school teachers...good grades never inspired anyone anyway.
