Hi Rick, My name is Katie Reiner and I work for a firm called Pacific Aquascape, and we design and build water features, lakes, streams, fountains, pools, and man-made rock. I wanted to reach out and touch base, because I found amazing pictures on this site that you took of a project that we constructed - the lakes and fountains in front of Coyote Stadium, on the South side of Glendale Ave and across the street from Cabelas. Anyway, I wanted to touch base and see if we might be able to discuss my firm using these photos, such as presentations to potential clients of examples of our past work? Please feel free to email me at: kreiner@pacificaquascape. com or you can call me at 602-275-8066 x111 Thanks in advance for your reply, Katie Reiner

Hi Rick, I am a freelance graphic designer in Berkeley, CA. I am interested in purchasing usage rights to the Gilbert Town Square fountain photo. Please contact me at chattenoire at gmail dot com (I've spelled it out to prevent spam). Much appreciated and I look forward to hearing from you (as the booklet I'm designing has a tight deadline).

Hello Rick, What can I say to all these wonderful comments of yours except thank you. I am flattered that you should find me worthy of a special mention in your circulation Virtual Journey.That would be my first "Feature" :-). Thank you dear friend, you have made my day. Hugs Marlene

Hey Rick, your appreciation of the Best of the Rest and Best of Noon D. gave me a real kick! Thanks tons for the feature. I look forward to it.

Rick, just wanted to thank you for your kind words and for your mention of my album in your "Virtual Journey"! It really means a lot when someone whose work I admire so much gives a "thumbs up" of approval. Tried to roam around a little today for some nice fall scenery, but it was sort of hit and miss - still a lot of trees haven't turned at all and others are too far gone. Even though you may not have scads of deciduous trees where you are to enjoy in the fall, you DO have all those gorgeous canyons and startling landscapes that we here in the midwest have no way of competing with! Guess we all have our own unique types of beauty in our own backyards - thank goodness! Have a great week ahead Rick! Thanks again, Kathy

Hi Rick. I've was off the net for a few weeks and I've been working a lot and going to the mountains. I haven't had a chance to respond to your Virtual Journey E-mails. Some pretty cool stuff. some of it very informative. The only problem is I don't get any sound ("turn up your speakers") on the slide shows. How can I remedy that?

Hey Rick....remember me?? I feel like a stranger as it's been so long since I've visited your albums. thanks so much for all the wonderful Virtual Journey emails you have been sending me. I've just discovered hundreds of slides belonging to my father and I've just begun sorting through them and hope to put some on webshots in the future. It is very emotional for me looking through the old slides but also like opening up a treasure chest. I've found some sunset shots he took that I've never seen before so I hope to share them with you in the near future. I hope all is well in your life. Wishing you much love and happiness. Regards..Sue

Hi Rick, and a very thank you for the honor of including me in your publication the Virtual Journey. I am happy waiting the "special" issue that will be headed with my introduction and links to my Webshots page. Best Regards, Manuel

Hey Rick - thanks for sending some of the Arizona sunshine my way. We certainly need it here in chilly Melbourne. It was 3 degrees celcius the other morning when I was walking to catch the train to work. I also wanted to thank you sincerely for all the lovely Virtual Journey emails. You must require a lot of time to put them all together. I'm still battling with my sore throat but I think I've finally turned the corner. Have a great day! Regards....Sue

Hallo Rick, I have just discovered your side with all your FANTASTIC albums. Your photos are outstanding and breathtaking! Those are the countries / places of my dreams! And your AZ photos bring back to me many wonderful memories - THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will come back again and again to view and enjoy your various albums. THANKS for sharing! You are an excellent photographer with great skills! Maybe you are interested in viewing some of my photos? However, compared to you I am only a beginner in photography. With kindest regards, Erika

Dear Rick - I consider your photos to be first class, so for you to take the time to leave so many wonderful comments on my cactus album, I was overwhelmed. Thank you sincerely for your kind words which have encouraged and inspired me. I haven't been well lately so your words came at a good time. My love of photography began through my father who used to develop his own black and white photos, as I looked on in awe as a 12 year old. I'm now 44 and my father has since passed on but my passion for photography is more present than even and I like to think that my father is with me each time I take a photo. I have many fond memories of going to the beach with him at sunset with our cameras at the ready to capture the moment. He loved sunsets and clouds and I he has instilled that love in me. Thanks again Rick for your most welcome comments. Regards...Sue
