Mr. Larkin (AKA Mr. 5000)

I had gone out early this morning before the rain to get an image before the sun was in the
wrong spot. It was was going to be my PAD for today...well untill I was presented with this.
Jim Larkin http://www.pbase.com/jjlarkin39 stopped in to give me my 5000th comment!!!
Jim had made number 4000 on John Buffin's gallery http://www.pbase.com/frsty50/image/92794606
John put it just right "There are many fellow pbase photographers here that I take great pride
in calling a friend", and I must echo that statement....
Jim, just like John did for you, you are most welcome to pick out a image that I will ship to you in a 11 X 14 print.
Lot's of you just stop to look and I thank you, others leave comments on a day to day trip here, thank you all.
My pbase friends are very special to me and I wish I could meet you all, and those I have thanks for all the great shooting......

Nikon D300
1/3s f/10.0 at 26.0mm iso200 full exif

I'm beginning to think he's holding back and sniping these milestones from everyone else. When he nails my 5000th, I'll know something is up for sure. ;)

I hope he wins a car or truck or at least a new D300 for being your 5,000th!
:o)

Holy smokes.....cool. I still need to get with John on my print. This is a way cool picture. In fact, maybe this is the one I would want. I dunno. Very cool idea.

A special milestone for sure and good of you to announce it and remember your PBase friends. Says a lot about you.
