    My tsunami auction is live!
    I am auctioning this image on Ebay with all proceeds to go to tsunami relief:
    Here's your chance to own an original Rick :) I shot this in 2002 in my aunt's backyard. I shot many frames and this was the one that seemed most impactful. It's being delivered matted, signed, and numbered (10/101) to anywhere in the world. For all the techies out there, it was shot on Velvia 50 with a Nikon 8008s mated to a juryrigged macro setup including Pentax belows and 105mm 2.8 Don't ask how I got it to work :)

    Making this auction was Janie's idea, I am taking lead from her :) I chose this one because it is probably my most popular one and the one I have sold the most of thus far.

    Please take a look, make a bid, it's only .99 right now :D

    Thanks Janie for the idea and everyone else for looking!

    That's GREAT! Hope you raise lots of money! Just make sure you get your packaging ready well in advance - I can't TELL you how hard it was to find really good, secure packaging for my pics! lol The frame I got was just 1/4 inch too big for the box I had. Don't forget to get insurance!

    Thanks for the bids guys! Now let's bid that puppy up to $100! ;)

    I was happy to see it pass $10 if it hadn't done that I would owe <i>them</i> the cost of the auction :rolleyes:

    Thanks again fellas!

    Great idea rick! Heck $15.50 and still 5 days left! Wow, that's quite the neat fundraiser for the tsunami relief, and every penny counts.

    Great idea,
