I'm so amazed and inspired by your work. The camera isn't solely responsible for making a photo amazing, it's the eye behind it.. and I think I can speak for anyone who takes a look at your work.. you have taken our breath away, Dave! My only regret is that I didn't contact you sooner to be a part of 135! Congratulations on the masterpiece and hope to work with you in the future!
