THANK YOU ALL - if I browse through my photos since I've started posting, I may say, I really have improved with the help of all of you out there. I have just written a note to Jim telling him that IMO the quality of all our photos is constantly getting better as there is a lot to learn just by viewing others' photos. You get ideas and encouragement - that's what it's all about!Susana Matos September 19, 2003
Congratulations Wolfgang, I also agree with you about improving just by looking at the photos in here.Terry Cervi September 19, 2003
