Lance You were one of my first contacts when I joined flicker a few years ago. I was so happy that someone noticed my attempts to take photos. I say attempts because I knew so little about the world of digital cameras. I was still happily taking shots with an analog camera and taking the resulting toll of film to the local drug store for processing. But, by following folks like you Lance, I learned the ins and outs of using and enjoying a digital camera. Such fun to process my own photos! I also learned how much I enjoyed and cared for people like you, Lance. it is such a pleasure to share your photos of New Zealand's topography and her animals and quite beautiful waters. Such a great country. And the way you write! What a pleasure to peruse your stories and observations. It is such fun! Here's to many, many more years of more photos and those great stories by you they elicit! Thank you for being my friend, You always will be. ~ Lana
