hi da,Thanks for the kind comment. You know, you just can't go wrong photographing children! I think if I were truly doing what I wanted more than anything else, it would be sitting behind my camera capturing those fabulous and far-too-fleeting moments of childhood. What the heck AM I doing sitting here behind this desk?! Keep shooting! Jay
