Looking back on the past 655 days (yes, that is how long I have been hanging out here) I never would have guessed that I would have made it to 1000 posts. ; I just hope it is not another 655 days to get my next thousand. ; Like mainstreet I am amazed at how my photography has changed over that time. ; Two years ago I never would have considered taking a tripod to Disney for Fireworks and night-time shots. ; I also would not have met a great group of crazy people (okay, maybe only a couple of crazy people... you know who you are). ; Thanks to everyone here, I appreciate all the tips and advice and inspiration. ; (is this starting to sound too cheesy). ; Anyway, what a great birthday gift... so here's to the first thousand and here's to a thousand more.
