Yeesh ... *Waves from behind a pile of work* I now fully understand the old saying, "There are just not enough hours in the day." Literally, for me at this point, there just aren't. Been busy working, shootings, etc. But thought I'd swing by and share another photographic first for me (man, been a lot of those this year).

First one of my images to be used for an ad in a publication (scanned this in, sorry about the quality - scanned that). Weird to see your stuff out there.

Special congrats Donald!! Maybe that "weird" thought will pass when more is published. Best wishes. TomDart.

'Bout time! I really am pleased to see you getting your work out there like this..... To many more! raises glass in a toast

I am, therefore I create.......

Wow! OK that answered my question about where you have been! Congratulations! I am happy to see you getting some recognition! I would not be surprised to see you as a photographer for The SI swimsuit issue either, you are as good if not better then the photographers they use... I have always thought that your work was of a very high quality! Good going Donald, I am happy for you! Brenda :)

Thanks guys! You know, it really is weird. I mean, AOL has used a few of my images over the last couple of years, but it just doesn't have the same feel as holding it in your hand (see link for the last one they used). Nilla - Bahaha ... I can see that now. "Donald. He's, ummmmm ... helping the models apply their suntan lotion. Yes sir ... yes ... I know we have makeup people for that, but he insists. How long? Well, he's been working on it for about 4 hours now. Yes sir .. yes ... I know ...." >:D -=>Donald

i got a feeling this is just the beginning for you!!
