Dan- Thanks for the excellent presentation. It was great! I'll be looking
to take one of your classes when you open them in Texas again (I'm Houston
based).

Hey Jeff, Oh Jeff, Oh Jeff, Oh Jeff,
I was one of those who asked, "What kind of camera is that ?"
Oh for shame, for shame. Just curious you know. Already have one I really
like that works just fine. Usually the operator anyway.
By the way I was also one of those who asked a lot of other questions when
you showed your prints. Great prints and good information. You helped a
lot. Thanks.
But Jeff (and a few others) lighten up. With this much intensity the
stress level may be getting too high to be healthy.
My one cent. Nice to be associated with such talent.
See ya,
Rocky
