My '07 Review

Sun Dec 30, 2007 1:40 pm

I just saw Dumigan's post on his review of this year, and that's a pretty neat idea. So I wanted to make my own review to share with you guys and gals to show just what made this year special.

These shots are in no particular order, but I hope you can relive a great year with me by looking at my Higlights Of '07...

I've exposed a lot of film in the last 42 years and would like you to know that you have a real talent with camera and lens. Keep up the fine work & don't ever lay that thing down!
