Dear Ms. Judi, You are an excellent photographer!

As such you remain, an inspiration to me...I hope one day to produce images worthy of such a confession. To be true to my beliefs, I must state that it is really not honorable for me to see anyone but my wife in the buff, but as we all know the filters don't work in the challenges,...so I can, also, express that I know you to be "nicely 'put-together'".

(As always...you have my admiration for this, since most of us living in our fifth decade of life...'shutter' to think of a self-portrait,...even done artistically,...in the buff. You, on the other, either work-out religiously or were blessed with above-average genes.)

Congratulations on your first book! This, of course, is a major surprise to me, since your level of excellence merits an entire library. (Considering the previous paragraph, you should even have a few volumes the likes of which I should never purchase nor see, but knowing your quality, even those would be "world-class"...sight-unseen.)

Much success to you as you continue to be the excellent lady that you are! I will continue to anticipate great creations from you in the "G" & "PG" categories, even though I must respectfully avoid the "R" renderings as often as possible. (Some of this post may appear euphemistic, but it is merely the "code" I learned early in life.)

To state plainly, you have my respect as a photographer...for God has blessed you immensely with talent! I pray that His highest ideals, purposes, and His Greatest Gift for your life will find a prepared home in your heart & in your mind!

(This final paragraph is the highest wish that I have for any soul! I hope that I have been clear in showing that not all Christians deny honor to those whose beliefs or life-presentations are different from their own. I can bless any aspect of talent that God places in a life, even if philosophy is not an exact match. I will always praise the praiseworthy and endeavor to "walk wisely" concerning the rest.)

Awww....what can I say...except thankyou. I must admit, that I am blown away with the interest this book has received. The Autographed list alone is something I never expected....and can only say...thankyou. I hope you all get as much enjoyment from this book as I am in seeing it completed.

Thanks again.

I want to buy a book so badly, if only I wasn't about to go through surgery and miss so much work. I would love a signed copy, but will not be able to afford it until about 3 months from now. Will I be able to get a signed copy from you in about 3 months.

On another note. Congrats Judi! YOu are awesome, and you inspire me in so many ways. I look forward to seeing your work everytime you post something new. I can't wait to purchase your book. Im sure it is amazing.

I would love to be on that list, Ms. Judi! Just give me a little "heads up" as to how much extra the signature will set me back (I mean you being world famous & all.) Please, be kind as always...I actually need both arms & legs, and I've got to "cough up something from somewhere" to go CS3 Extended when my trial runs out. (The seminar in Atlanta today was amazing! Now I can't do without CS3-E!)

Blessings! "We're unworthy!" (Thank you, Wayne & Garth!) :}
