Wow, that is certainly a message worthy of the big 1,000!!! It's really great to see someone set goals and work to achieve them. Good for you!!!
Congrats on graduate school!! This is fantastic news.
On to the medium format system, you know (as we have already talked about) once you get settled in Phoenix and have some time, we'll have to meet up. And now you got a really cool medium format system to show me!! Until then I'm really looking foward to the images you post.
Congrats on everythig here Rick, and I hope the move works out for you.
If you find it too hot in Phoenix though, you could always make your way up here to Colorado for a break, where the spring, summer and fall are usually beautiful, and the winters are not too bad at all either. Never stays cold for very long, snow doesn't last but a few days most of the time, and even in January, it can get beautifully warm and sunny. We've been running in the 60's and even a few low 70's the last couple weeks. Roughly 300 days of sunshine a year!! (OK, enough of that now.) ;) I'm sure you'll love your move to Phoenix.
Talk to you soon Rick, and take care!!
