well, bryan did make it back, but it turns out the camera was around the whole time. he was supposed to take it with him, and he did move it from it's normal resting place, but it only made it out to his van. he rode with someone else, so it was left behind!! oh, well. i shall retrieve it this evening. i'm at the studio right now, and then will be in lessons until late, so it may be yet one more day before you see pics, but i PROMISE something new by tomorrow at the latest!!!!!!
