Michelle and Carrie, thanks so much. This guy was fun. Met him at a Renaissance Faire last Saturday and he loved posing for us. He also plays Santa at Christmas time. #10904360

This is simply outstanding work, Dale. Very creative and so well-done. At the end of January, you'll surely get the Gold. #10914280

Thank you Susan. He was an amazing subject and I have a number of shots and treatments of him in my blog. #10914455

Susan Williams December 03, 2013

I treated myself to your blog earlier today and thoroughly enjoyed it. You have so many magnificent images - I hope you have a collected works (book) or framed prints and canvases. #10914466

Dale Hardin December 03, 2013

thanks Susan. I don't print any images because I have no more wall space. :o) I have a few books from special occasions such as the wheat harvest but the quality is not good enough for archiving favorites etc.

And funny you should mention printing because I really would like to see some of my work on a print. If I had a nice big blank wall like at our son's house it would be loaded. :o) #10914480

I recently opened my e-mail and found an announcement from Better Photo that the month of November award winners were basking in the glory of finding their name beside their beautiful entry. CONGRATULATIONS!
