  • Hello Bill, I'm writing from Argentina. I'm doing a monthly publication about WOODEN STRUCTURES, and one of the topics I want to include are the Stave Churches. I saw here that you have wonderful shots so I'd like to contact you. Could you please send an e-mail to scerbo@satlink.com so I can tell you more about this project? Thanks a lot, Hector

  • Bonjour Bill,i love your additions #21 is superb,i realized that in your last guestbook entry you were asking about my equipment,i thought you were asking about depth of field that is why i asked your e-mail adress,because it would have been too long to explain,sorry about that.Meanwhile for these butterflies pictures i used a Canon Eos 3000N and a Sigma Zoom 70-300mm,digital is fun but for serious and creative photography i prefer 35 mm camera(but then again it's only my opinion...)Keep up your great work.Luc

  • You do have a magnificent collection of Barn photos, you country being a lot older, you have a lot older structures, I always like to read some informanation about the different buildings, and that you have done nicely. Sadley your barns are slowly dying just like the one in Indian Head, Saskatchewan Our bone head Canadian Governement is only interested in saving history if that building is in eastern Canada. Your pictures are great and you with you pictures have saved some history as well. Thanks Dan
