Hembree December 30, 2007
You know, Chris, you could be on to something here... Maybe I need to start hanging some of my own favorite photos. LOL! You know, we are coming up to almost a year ago when the first wins came through. Can you believe it!? Boy, time sure does fly! And look at where we've both come since then. You just keep getting better. And me...well, I'm still working on that technical side, but I haven't done too shabbily at all. Thanks for all the inspiration you've given me. You're the best! #5270509
