Whoops! I was using Google to find some info about Thomas Dolby album 'Aliens Ate my Buick'... and I landed in this page! Really nice pics. I hope you don't mind if I use one of 'em as a wallpaper :) I've bookmarked this page. Keep on the good work!

Eli, just spotted your gallery. Nice stuff. I havent had much time for photography lately, but just posted some new shots from the BBQ cook off in Houston. My user name here is jshukers for now. I'm not sure how to change it. I see where they are to start charging here. I wonder when. It must be tough being a cripple drunken dwarf. Keep in touch. CHEERS! js
