When asked, the Soldier would enlighten tourists on what the Soldiers lot was. He was in the 1744 mode, which was informative and funny. He asked 2 guys where they came from they replied, "Vancouver", "Where's that then?" he replied. "Out on the West Coast", said one of the men, "Sorry sir, West Coast of what?" The men shook there heads and walked off, remarking, "What a Dumb Ass". I don't think they quite understood what was going on!
The text reads:
Rich -
As good as can be...
Funny, then that we want (now) to have bigger images - They strain to be greater.
Hope you can do that!
(One of the best folios I've seen - good work!)

The bigger images Jamie is referring to are the ones of the tunnel. I had made some larger prints, but in a progress meeting he suggested I make them smaller. At our final class portfolio critique, he and the other photography professors thought they were great but that they should be larger - like 20x20 or greater. Of course the quality of print from 35mm film would be quite grainy, so I'd need to retake those images with a medium format camera. The Black and White Photography II course would have allowed me to do this, but unfortunately there was no room in my senior year schedule so it never happened.
And yes, I'm definitely posting this so I can brag a little. As an engineering student, getting this kind of compliment from a professor who has seen the work of many design, art, and photography students is an accomplishment of which I am quite proud.
