I think what you did in terms of transitioning out is awesome and inspiring. I ponder making a similar choice. I just wanted to say hello and that I am reading.

I commented to Eric after reviewing the photos from Europe that you have such a unique approach to photographing things and from perspectives that would never occur to me. Makes me see things from another view.<br /><br />- JennyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
