I can't Thank You enough.

Although photography for me is fulfillment in itself, You dear visitors and viewers are my treasure, a constant source of inspiration and joy. I in turn try to produce images worth Your precious time.



Coming up this year 2010:

- As You might have already noticed, some images are now 700 or 800 pixels in size and I intend to replace as many of the existing size 600 pix. images as possible with larger ones during the year. I sincerely hope this doesn't cause problems to any of You.

- Photium my site host will add a new, exciting blog-feature at some time this year. I'm really thrilled about this!

- Links and personal data need updating and freshening up. Will happen!

Dear Visitors near and far,


I want to wish You all a Very Merry Christmas!

Let this season of joy and peace be exactly that to all of us, let it be filled with loving moments that make for fond memories. And if memories are all we've got - then so be it, let us embrace them, hold onto them ever so tight, never letting go.
