I don't have one, but my son who regularly backpacks thru Europe uses one for obvious reasons, and has gotten fantastic shots. Mostly it seems we view photos on our computers anyway, so hi rez is not an issue, and if its only for ourselves, to remind us of those special moments of interface with greater reality, then wow...by the way I would have liked to see this shot larger. How about reviewing whats latest and best in point and shoots!!! Thanks for the reminder of what photography is all about!

Some shots are just not meant to be. But like Sean said, you did get a shot. And a powerful one at that. A reminder for us all. But still we'll leave something behind. it is a rare occasion when I have it all. It's just part of the creative plan. Thanks for being there.

How I do miss having that oprotunite to do on a regular basis. But will Have to settle for my once a year visits to home.

And we all must remember that there is a significant difference between a "found moment" and a planned shoot. Even the best photographers get lucky enough to capture a found moment every once in awhile. Not everything can be planned in advance, and we have to enjoy this situations when they come along. Sometimes without even taking a shot... It looks to me like you still got a really great shot out of it.
