Dear Dave

I think this is a good inclusion on the club home site. You certainly brought back my old memories from this image…plus or minus.

A time I first met you, my first night out with the course classmates, my first submitted image and also image of the month.

You would have to write the report on me if there was an incidence … fearless I die to take the shot … come to think about it … it was inches from the death edge. Luckily, it was an accomplishment but unexpected 🙂 However, this image would never been taken if not for the kind Mr smith who so helpful to bring us up to the strategic location. Being a photographer himself understands photography needs ‘new height’ so to speak and there you are it can make a difference.

I also remembered when the result was announced at the competition night, Jenny Boyle asked me how I felt. I kept my cool and said it was unexpected and very happy about it. What I actually meant then was WOW I AM VERY VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED ABOUT IT … FEELING LIKE HOLDING YOU FOR A DANCE … but of course I didn’t show it nor executed the dance… LOL

I am sure others will have their stories to tell too.

Cheers
John
