Good on ya, Ted!!!
You've paid a lot of dues through the years so this should even up the tally a bit.
It's always tougher when your heart is in what you do for money but the payoff is sweeter if you have your heart in it.
Congratulations, sir. You outlasted the doubters and Philistines, after all.
I can't wait to see it.
Best Regards,
Bob

<x-tad-smaller>Doorbell rang, I’m not expecting anyone but there was a stranger holding a large envelope and as he handed it to me he said… “This is a special delivery from BRAVO TV!

<x-tad-smaller>However when a previous Prime Minister of Canada and his wife were interviewed it kind of shakes one a tad.</x-tad-smaller>

<x-tad-smaller>Quite frankly I’m humbled beyond words by the comments of the many interviewees. Simply because you never realize how they related to you as a person and your photography.</x-tad-smaller>
