    Fun set. I have to figure out how to display shots like this. They go so well in a set, its a shame to seperate them.

    This looks like it took all day, but was probably just a few seconds.....

    Cool!
    It is the purpose of life that each of us strives to become actually what he is potentially. We should be obsessed with stretching towards that goal through the world we inhabit.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    you just post a pic and then reply to it over and over the best way is to do it from smugmug and you can set it up in one post but you still have to know puters well to do it that is why I do it the reply way :D
