    Hi - I met you in the parking lot the morning of the Prolog
    You offered to critique my pics - I pasted the link above - they are OK for my 1st attempt - You don't have to 'worry about your job' for a while yet!
    I have to say - your work is amazing! I really like the descent shot on Monarch Pass & your art shots in your gallery
    Have fun in Colorado!
    Karen
