Dear Group,

I would like to take a moment to say thank you to everyone, past and present, that I met and, or had the pleasure of speaking with during 2008, where I made new friends, reacquainted myself with older ones, and where I remember a few precious ones. That said, I hope your holiday season is festive, refreshing, and safe.

I expect to see more of your images going forward in the New Year...

Again, I thank you.
