Denise,

You only throw out half?... you are good... or are a pack rat like me. Only kidding, seen your websight... you are good. It's people like you and Don Diego, amoung so many others that give this forum it's legitimacy. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

As for not having a decent picture of yourself, I'm in the same boat. I have only one photo of me in profile; the other few are pretty much the same as on this thread....

You know Gary, I'm always the photographer!! I could throw in a nose shot...it really is a great macro (I just need to be sure and pluck my nose hairs using photoshop)...

and Norma - CHEERS!!!! I'm sitting here at near midnight with Baileys on ice reading this thread. Cracks me up. A great break from photo editing...

and thanks Gary!!! I really really appreciate the compliments. I just started my business in July, and already getting frustrated. And it is actually all of you that has inspired my creativity, boosted my knowledge in photo editing and photography (doing cells was easy, they don't talk back....they just go through apotosis and explode!!!) Many thanks to you all!!!!

Ok, who's next to tell their story..I'm still up..

D, Bailey's is a great way to end the evening! And I think you're business will be a huge success...even if it does get frustrating at the beginning. You're pics are just awesome; I couldn't see anyone not wanting to use your expertise. I wish I had half your expertise...I'll be a work in progress forever! But I'm enjoying myself anyway!
