Oh and I like the pictures you posted up tonight. The one with the sand is REALLY dramatic.

Yeah I went and looked at it at home yesterday before I went to bed. I THOUGHT I got it then Patty explained it to me and I was right! I was so happy.

So, how many folks want to buy your new app?

I did not see that.

I'm glad to hear it.

And further, one becomes stronger by doing the hard things which push the boundaries. And even if it weakens her rather than strengthens her - at least she had the experience she enjoys.

Oh Yeah, she had a smile on her face the whole time. She got out once to take some pictures of some little white flowers and had to squat down to do it. She is so weak I had to help her up, but she was still smiling though.

Thank you.

I think a lot of people thought it was funny.

I'm not sure how many got the deeper messages.

1) Photoshop effects do not equal significance.

2) The truest beauty must be revealed, and is not the result of hiding perceived imperfections.

Just reading this makes me smile.

You've really made her happy. She was talking to someone the other day about this photographer she talks to sometimes and how good he is and how he is a nationally recognized photographer. Then she went on to say something about how she can't believe some one this good with the recognition he has would even consider talking to someone like her.

I'm happy to talk to her.

I can't imagine a reason I wouldn't.

I consider her a friend.

And further: She is beloved to you, which further makes her special to me.

I don't think any of my accomplishments as a photographer enter into it.

Well it may not help you a great whole lot, but she sure is getting your name out among the folks she associates with both physically and on the computer. She really admires your work. Matter of fact, she has that "Portfolio" of pictures you posted up one time for us to critic saved on the computer and goes back and looks at them from time to time.

I appreciate it.

I try hard.

My next post is number 10,000. I wanted to make my 10,000th post special, so...

Matter of fact she was just telling someone the other day about the picture you took of a certain seagull I think it was, and she was just laughing...
