Thank you. Coming from a photographer of your caliber, your comments really mean a lot. I think I'm going to have to contact you for maybe some hints/pointers on how to accomplish the "paintings by the old Masters" look. I love your gallery! #8082104

Good god, man! You are good in moving trains. NatGeo could save a lot of money just giving you a train ticket, and send you across America at 55mph to capture all of its beauty. Imagine what you could accomplish in Japan with the speed of their trains. I love this shot, Michael. Again you managed an amazing composition with fine detail throughout. #8190799
