Thank you so much, John ... your comments mean alot to me ..... #6060855Kathy Radford August 03, 2008
Hi Steve, Congrats on the beautiful job with this shot. I haven't been on very much lately as my computer crashed. Had to buy a new computer and pay someone to retrieve my photos from my old hard drive. Unfortunately many of my recent shots have been permanently lost. Almost 200 of my shots of Boston Harbor were lost. What a bummer. I had some gorgeous shots of the harbor. You have so many awards on your gallery, great job. I haven't even gotten Editor's Pick in a long time. I don't know what's wrong, am I getting worse instead of better?Hurk (Steve) Hurkett August 03, 2008
Thanks Kathy ..... I really appreciate your kind words, despite the fact I have always admired your work ... #6264448Bill Knaps September 29, 2008
