Aren’t you the clever one…amazing shot and angle. Hurry back home. We miss you—but then again…I can’t wait to see your new pics, too. :)
Arlene Zapata replied
Thanx Michael! I’m looking forward to photographing this one in the winter + lit up @ night too!
Did you get your p.card? Eileen + I had a great time last week. We made 21 center pieces for her daughter’s Bat Mitzvah. Lots of work! Only took a few pics, but did tons of photo editing on work
from the past 8 weeks on the plane. Will post soon!
