Hank Rodriguez
Hi Ien~ So, I see that you have become an instant celebrity. I also would like to congratulate you for not only earning your illustrious and merited award, but also for having the keen insight and the gift of creativity that is truly admired, and strived for, but rarely attained by many who only dream of reaching such heights.
Be careful, though. You might be on a hunt to capture your next prize-winning shot, and the pesky paparazzi could very well pop out of the bushes with their disruptive flashes blazing in an attempt to steal the shot that will be plastered all over the news stand dailies! Wouldn’t that be ironic? Perhaps you should disguise yourself and dress up as a windmill or something so no one will notice you? Anyway, I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work. The Bridge is one of my very favorites so far from RB, and I am really having a field day myself with excitement about the art of this community.
ienemien replied
Thank you Hank for your wonderful story and warning in your comment…thanks!! Did you read also my writing about this winning photo?? here is also a link to my album on Webshots where you can see the slideshow of my walk here in this beautiful area… I looking forward to your reaction…bye…I think I found a new friend…LOl… Ien

I’d written to him at WS, saying … hey, haven’t heard from you in awhile … how the heck are ya … and he wrote back telling me about RB … and the rest is history!!!!!! I’m sooo excited for you, sweetie, you’ve really gotten so much wonderful acclaim for your beautiful photography!!!! I’m just so proud of you!!!!! Hugzzzz!!!
ienemien replied
Ohhhh Yes!!! Tony is GREAT…thank you Tony…LOL…Thanks Lois for your reply!! Bye…ien
