Dick has been most kind and encouraging to me in this flickr community now for about 2 months. He makes me feel like a serious photographer. I only hope that I can soon measure up to his quality of work. I find his photography regularly stunning with vivid colors and images and a favorite stopping point in my cruising the flickr highway.
