Just found your gallery, it's so full of wins and finalist awards....very impressive! Love the composition, lighting and shadows. A huge fan of black and white. My first digital was the Olympus Camedia and I loved it so much, completely wore it out, but I sometimes miss it. #3956604Donna La Mattino Pagakis February 16, 2007
