  Thank you, everyone. Due to the economy I've had to close my studio & sell all my equipment. I don't see myself doing photography any time in the future.

  I was shocked when I read your bio and your note that you are closing down your studio and not doing photography anymore. Your work is so good; it's a shame to see it stop. But I can imagine what the economy is doing to artists in all mediums. Anyway, congratulations on a stunning finalist, and good luck with whatever other avenues you choose!

  I really appreciate this, everyone. I'd love to thank you all personally but I'm in the middle of moving & still really traumatized from losing my business. Your support means the world to me.
