Friendship is a language spoken by heart...
not written on paper, not given by pledge...
it is a promise renewed every time we meet. Keep in touch.

A little at a loss for words here.
Can't thank everyone enough for the favs and comments - that's where it's all at in my opinion.
I about s**t when I saw this on the home page, as I had absolutely no clue.
w00t!

Good thinking Brad. Shooting a high key image that turns out as a nearly natural low key image works really well. Congrats Brad, I was starting to miss your shots from the front page. Keep up the good work.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/03/2006 09:11:02 AM
Congrats, Brad! Nice one. I missed voting on some of these and somehow this slipped through the cracks. Glad others saw it for it's terrific eye candy!

Congrats, Brad. I'm also not getting out of the car next time... :D
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/03/2006 02:58:45 AM
I knew this would be the blue ribbon.....
I loved it the first moment I saw it. and I think I would have been the first to add it as a favorite as well.....
I gave you a "10", but can't believe the small number of tens that you received, but it doesn't matter, as you still got the blue.....
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/03/2006 02:56:47 AM
