What a shot, what an experience, very jealous.

Thanks Travis… but jealousy is such a negative emotion ;-)

Wow I love this Doug! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – you’re a lucky bastard getting the chance to shoot stuff like this!
Doug Thost replied
Hi Nick! Yep, lucky bastard… that’s me. Now if someone would only BUY my photos to pay for all this camera equipment :-)
Travis Easton
Sorry Doug, but it’s positive jealousy I promise ;-)
