Thanks Kath! Since they changed the BP format I don't seem to be able to post a photo with my comments -- oh well! Loved your boy on the beach photo this morning and all the other Maine shots starting to show up from the shoot. Sounds like a fun and productive get together :0) #1435783

Anyway, that said, I love the shot! You do great work, Mister! #1435916

I haven't had any trouble uploading a shot in the discussion, but I have to had already signed in. If I just start commenting and try it keeps kicking me back out. On the sign in page with password and everything, not just the email sign in you do when you try to comment. Don't know if this helps or if that is how you did it and it still didn't work. #1438340
