Dee Dee, the number seven photo is drop dead wonderful. Shooting in that kind of light must be a thrill. I just got back from shooting at an all breed show in order to get images of certain breeds for artwork. As you know the shows really do not care if lighting is good when they schedule classes!

Your images make me want to grab a camera and catch that light. Jims comments about your work is spot on. It has been a pleasure to see the artistic avenue you run with this medium. I understand the need to move in a direction so you can get the images that would be worthy of a museum or gallery as paintings are.

Have you been in the Leigh Yawkey Woodson show in Wisconsin - Birds in Art? It is a brilliant show and could be our ulitimate challenge. Since straight photography is not accepted, it could be fun to enter one in painting and one in mixed media including painting. I have been in it once and would love to repeat and meet you there at the reception.
