Love your collection Cam!

Thanks, I have a personal collection, but most of these are from our website.

Come to think of it, I must photograph some of mine.

Just got back from Indonesia with some and am very posessive with them!

Oh great! I have no experience in these - so find them very interesting. (I know about the possessive thing - sometimes I just don not want to sell!)

Yes photograph yours.
