Nice but the last time I had money to spare I put it all into the stock market, then watched the value drop considerably. Due to having a cast iron stomach I just held on and within a few years the money doubled. I then spent a few hundred dollars to buy a photo by Judith Pannozo http://fineartamerica.com/featured/s...h-pannozo.html "Stilettos" is in my living room and everyone loves it |

I just love the photo...and being a photographer myself it has to be good for me to buy one from someone else. OT: As to the stock market...the only time I've lost money was when I panicked and sold when the stock was falling. Experienced investors know that that's the time to buy. This assumes of course it's a good solid company. I would not invest in Radio Shack ...for example. Now more experienced I no longer sell off in a panic and have found that the stocks can sometimes recover within six months...though it can take a lot longer...18-24 months...so patience is needed. Also: I only invest what I could afford to lose. If I invested a lot more I could have been wealthy now...but I also could have been dead broke. |

If there is something unusual about the tires , I missed it. One comment however was that the couple is "obviously wealthy". When I asked my friend why he said that, he told me "Because they are wearing expensive Italian clothing." I then roared with laughter because since the photo was taken in Italy, it's not surprising that the people wore Italian clothing. BTW: When I looked at the prices on the website I realized that I did not spend "a few hundred" dollars. Though the size I purchased lists for maybe $160, I know Judith personally and she gave me a deal as I did her a favor. On her first website, she had posted her images with no watermark and at full resolution. I informed her that was not a good idea. She had not realized they were full res. |

With a young girl in stiletto heels standing on the luggage rack of a bicycle for some odd reason I did not notice the tires were low. Maybe I'm not quite over the hill yet. |

If there is something unusual about the tires , I missed it. Squashed, especially the rear. I'm an ex-cyclist. The front looks a little low, but the back appears to be just down in a groove between the cobblestones. It may be low, though. That looks like an uneven surface, and might be difficult to ride on. What I noticed are the weird shoes the man has on. Are those some kind of special bike shoes or just something popular in Italy but not here? At $22 for a regular print, Ms Pannozo is not a couple of hundred dollar buy. Her most expensive print is $27 at http://fineartamerica.com/art/all/pannozo/all. She does charge more for extra features like canvas, metallic, etc. Wrong, her prints go up to a $400 dollars you need to go back and look ....the prices shown are for the smallest images...if you click you can see the price for larger ones. I did get a special deal though as mentioned in my other response. As to the shoes they are Italian street shoes AFAIK |
