I just discovered you galleries and am so pleased that I have done so. I was especially drawn to this gallery and applaud your very creative, artistic eye. In addition to the beautiful design elements, shapes and color, your minimalist/abstract images are very inspiring and I know that I will view the world a little differently because of them.

Sheila, you've been probably told million times, but I want repeat once again it's a wonderful gallery. Since I sow it first time several months ago I continue to come back from time to time and look again and again. It's probably best recognition for the artist if people coming back to see his works again. I think your pictures inspired many other photographers. I'm one of them.

Thanks. We have a lot of sky down here and most of the time, its a blue you don't see many other places, especially Europe or the UK, due to the surprising lack of pollution for such a large city as Sydney.
tglass PM reply 13-May-2003 05:38
Your use of the sky in these shots is very interesting. Though it appears secondary to most of the subjects in your individual shots, it is a primary subject in the gallery. Well done!
