Hi,I really like your photos, I think they're fantastic. I'm also playing around with digital photography, but my pictures are not as good as yours. I think I must practise a lot to do such great photographs. I take many photos of my two sons, but not all of them are good ones. But they like looking at these shots a lot :)

Hey Dave, after so many years of visiting your site it's so cool to see pictures of your babies (then). My husband Andrew and I just had our first child, Max who is Maori/Pakeha (white new zealander) and I want him to be just as travelled as your two. However, it's not easy to convince his grand and great Grandparents. Anyhooo, cheers for being there.
Cheers, 2 esol teachers.
