Bruce - it is a delight and privilege to bestow this honor of GOM on you! You are so deservant and it is so long overdue.

Congratulations and enjoy your month in the sun. Your photography has always inspired me and it is so good to see you posting again! Your gallery is a true treasure!

For those of you who don't know Bruce - he has been on staff for many years and has served the Photography Community with soul and passion. He also did my training when I first joined as staff!

Oh man. Talk about long overdue!!

Bruce, your photography is always top notch, and I enjoy seeing your work. Your gallery is diverse and always excellent. Your band photography is a master class in action photography and in shooting in light that's often less than optimal, and if I ever got something that came halfway close to what you accomplish in that genre, you'd never hear the end of it!

There are people who are technically proficient with the camera and have the artistic eye of a potato, and there are people who have wonderful artistic vision and very little skill, but you are one of the rare people who seem to have been blessed with both.

"Congratulations on GOM" seems like a dishwater compliment in light of what you do, but it gives me the opportunity to tell you how highly I regard your work.

Tara - you have such a way with words!

Bruce - I also echo what Tara said!
