My deepest thanks, Dan and Allan. I have spent literally all day revamping my printed portfolio, and while looking at and for my zillions of photos filed all over the place, I found this one that I took when I was in London. You guys are really nice!!

Love your selective coloring with this wonderful composition, Kathleen! It's also reassuring to see one of these still in London. Just a few days ago, a friend of mine from the UK and I decided that all the red phone booths must now be in front of restaurants in the US!! #951738

Kathleen K. Parker December 03, 2004

Thanks Debra...LOLOL you are so funny... but yes, it seems we have their bridge, so hey why not their phone booths. I want one in front of my house!
