I apologize Jeff, for all the "Likes" probably now in your notifications.
I am between remodel jobs, and had time to go through your "...Area 52" project 365, for the year. I clicked on "Like" for every interesting post and photos, and there is now a worn spot on my mouse button that was not there before I started. LOL I just did not keep up with your Area 52 daily, and was the poorer for it, so I went back, got caught up, and now am richer because of it.
I am sure I speak for many in the forum, and more than a few "lurkers", that your love of Photography really comes through in your posts! You gave a very interesting history of film cameras, lens, and probably inadvertantly, yourself this past almost year.
I would like to encourage you to continue it in the coming year. The project 365 threads are a real gem, and I enjoy all of them, as most do. Yours, for some reason I cannot put my finger on, is extra good. Keep it coming...
May you and your family have a happy New Year!
