Nice Shot, Dolores. By the way, Dolores was my grandmother's name. I am from Brazil but she was from Spain. #143928

Dolores Neilson July 16, 2003

Hi CArla!! Thank you for your lovely post! I appreciate that you took the time! Yes, "Dolores" is a Spanish name and means "sorrow". I hate that it means "sorrow" but I like my name anyway. My father chose it...must have heard it somewhere. Happy Day!! #143937

Edward R. Valdez July 16, 2003

..that girl is a natural and great talent ( and the picture tell us
already) so: great combination.

Again a proof that sharing nice and important things - like art & photo's -
could give a surplus in the quality of our lives.

Nope, I ain't hot...just a tryin' to make my way in the photography world, my man...if anyone'll have me!
