Pappy... just a jack of all trades, eh? I love your photography. You do a great job at anything you do.

[Pappy]

thanks!

i dont try to out do anyone but myself. learning is addictive and if you can be passionate about what your learning its fun so although it is work at times i am usually having a blast no matter what i try:p and i love to share as i feel it helps others..the old" if he can do it i can" type of thing.

most folks played on the net or watched tv for a few hours this evening, i watched a 45 minute video on lighting...lol and thats after working all day....i reckon its relaxation as well.

You just downright do a good job. From powder to photo's - you're there. You just deserve recognition (which, you get plenty.) for the things you do. Job well done.

I really like the shots you've been taking this year with the different lighting. A whole new dimension to your already impressive work.
