James,
no need to apologize -- you and Chanthee had a little something else to deal with: Sandy. Glad you guys are OK and and were spared any major damage.

Thanks for your comments about the formals. I liked that lighting a lot and it was duck simple to set up plus the images were very easy to work with in post. As you know, bringing up black dogs without blowing out highlights is the key to shooting Rotties. I'm very satisfied with how these shows turned out.

Now, your turn to send photos of Manhattan post Sandy .

Jim
