    ‘Those are fabulous! You need to get up here and kick me in the butt! I started the photo assignments and that’s about as far as I got…

    I am living vicariously through you… what are the chances I am also learning what you’re learning?

    🙂

    You’ve got some darn good pictures there! I love the one of the boys in the bath from above as an example of changing your perspective, and the leading lines one is great, too! Nice work!
