Your photos are breath-taking. I really enjoyed the eagles. I aspire to be that good someday. Perhaps I can be your guest! :0) Thanks for your hard work.

Just surfing the web and looked at your site. The photos of the restoration project were great. Looks like a lot of hard work went into the restoration. Hope all is well. I have a show this September at the Wasco Rose Festival. Not expecting much because of the economy but it is a start.

Take care. Jim Bates

Great shots of the 135's. I started in them in 1957 at Loring. Was in the detachment at Takhli, Thailand in 1957. Retired from Travis (135's) in 1970. The photos make me want to climb back in that left seat again.

In the Jayden Michelle gallery, I couldn't figure out how to add my comment. Just wanted to say, you all look great! And you have a beautiful new addition to the family! You're a good man for documenting this the way you did. I can't tell you how fun it is for me to think of you as a grandpa, for god's sake!
peace & blessings,
Bobbi (grandma!)

The wedding pictures came out even more beautiful than I expected. You and your lovely wife made the day very special. We have had many compliments on the pictures. People tell us we are very lucky to have had such a good photographer, we told them we already knew that, God has blessed us in many ways, having you to take the pictures on such a special day for us just made it complete. Saying thank you just doesn't seem like enough, but believe me when I tell you the thanks we send to you both comes from our heart.

Michael,
I'm really excited with the photos you have posted. I'm working
on the "Discover Crestline" magazine for the Crestline Courier News.
I'll be in touch with you this week to discuss the photos we're interested
in publishing. It's going to be a fantastic magazine, your photos are going
to push it to the top!
Thanking you, L.Langdon

Welcome to PBase Mike. I hope you enjoy your self as do most of us.
You seem to have some nice pictures here, well done.
Your portrait images will certainly attract attention, especially with such a nice looking girl.
A quick tip is to give the pictures names and assign keywords. As people do searches for any and everything.
If you'd like some feedback, join the threadhttp://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=9328
It's fun looking at other peoples pictures, but leave comments now and again if you expect them in return.
Good luck. TREV.
