re: HEIDI KNUTSON comment, this person has been discovered stealing the copyrighted images of great photographers from pbase.com, painting them and then selling them on the internet. She was selling one of mine for $900. I've created a website regarding this. If you find any of your images in her work for which you did not give permission, please contact me and we will detail the theft and add it to the page. We are building a very large case against this woman. http://upload.pbase.com/sjackson/heidiknutson Thank you, Sandra Jackson

Great shots!! I noticed that you used several different cameras in this gallery which I assume were taken over a period of several years. Obviously, the digital shots are more recent ones. Just goes to prove that it's not the camera, but the person behind the camera.

Great composition, great color, real "Kodak moments", thanks for sharing...
