2. Awesome, Mac.

A couple of those are ART(!), fella. The first two blew me away ... if I ever got any like those out of my camera, I'd know someone else must've borrowed it.

(You just need some of Nick, of course.)

Thanks!

6. Very nice. I got a neat piece of photography software today. Ran one of your images through it.

Hope you don't mind.

'VintageScene' from the Mac App Store takes images and gives you options for aging them.

8. Very interesting. Love it!

Thanks!

7. My dear DemoTex!

If these were mine, and how I wish I'd taken them, I'd print every one and have them framed and up on my walls!

Astonishing in their beauty and detail!

You are amazing...

Be careful! I just took four 20X30 prints from this basic collection for framing for our new mountain house: $610! But what can you do?
