I had a wonderful time. Put on my best party hat and celebrated in the traditional "get you licence sticker renewed" line.

Nice of the government to hit me up for that much in fees on my birthday!!

But there was cake at the end of it all - so still a good day on balance :)

Hey Mike! So glad you are taking the risk to photograph people -- these are lovely, especially the first one. You've always had a great eye and I look forward to seeing more of your people shots.
