Mark,
It's getting there. I'm sort of torn between the philosophies of 'if the lens can't see it, it doesn't matter what it looks like', and 'if you're going to do it, do it properly' !
My name causes Gender confusion too. I booked a table I normally have at a restaurant once, we usually just go in and sit down, but a newbie waiter took the booking and was there when we sat down, he took exception to my sitting there because Jerry Hall was expected!
