Thanks! I'll bet you say nice things to all the dads who've named their sons 
Thomas. ;-)
Boys and men communicate with each other best when sharing common tasks. I 
think this is well known and poked fun at by women sometimes as "bonding 
experiences," since women often have a lot less trouble connecting with each 
other. I think I will recur more often to the discussion about falling short 
of one's artistic goals in the failing execution of a concept than the 
shooting per se. The topic may come up again when he gets the pictures back 
from the lab. <G>
