Dick Jenkins September 18, 2007

Donna it is nearly impossible to pick a photo to comment on. They are all very professional. I've been at it about 2 years and every new project is a major learning experience. I too live near the water and hope to capture just a portion of what you have accomplished. Being 70 and out of the work force it is difficult to gain knowledge from another photographer. It has been a wonderful experience browsing through your excellent work. #4809764

Donna La Mattino Pagakis September 19, 2007

The ultimate compliment, thanks so much Dick!! #4811653
