hi Dr. Khaled, nice to meet you too, you really have a great gallery, i'm starring at it now, as you see i'm still an amateur in photography, i'll sure need ur assistance and guidance (& this is not a kasr elini tone of voice :) no seniority when it comes to art !!), i'm planning to get a Nikon also.. I'll start emtyaz next march insha2allah, so i think i'll have good time for practicing.... regards, assem
