OMG!! First off I want to thank the staff here for this truly great honor...I am extremely humbled by my selection to this great gallery. Many thanks for my selection! Cyn you did such a beautiful job on that collage, it did bring me to tears...honestly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I played a gig tonight with my band, and it was our last gig together after playing with each other for 20 years..we decided it was time to move on to other things. I was feeling quite bummed about it...that, and being single for the last 6 years makes the holidays a little sad for me. But I dragged my lip in and booted the computer up and found out this fantastic news...this just kicked started my New Year! Suddenly the New Year has taken a turn for the better and it's due to this great site and all the great artists that post here and encourage me. Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think about making GOM! I have looked at every GOM since I've come to this site, and have marveled at the talent it takes to make it in this gallery....again I am truly humbled. As a photographer I always see my work with flaws, and each image I try to improve on...but I never really seem happy with my images...I'm pretty critical on myself, but I guess others see what I am missing in my images and for that I am thankful~ Thank you all for this great accolade, and believe me I got a smile from here to Maui! Have a great New Year everyone...I know I will now!! Much Aloha to all, Dave~
