Hi Christine! Thans foryour comments. I'm on the road, so I'm not sure if I have access to the origials or not. I'll check and see if I have them on my tiny Libretto.I actually posted both of the originals on my site--in my gallery, I believe. Let me check. #3112769

Hi Mary! I saw the aurora art installation on BP and the tern, thanks. Sorry for taking much of your time, I'm new in photography and I'm trying to learn from you experts to improve my work. I'll wait for the originals. Thanks. ~tin~ #3116607Mary N C. Taitt August 04, 2006 0
