Thanks Bailey and Phil. I'm happy every day because I have Riki's company for the past 17 years and I get happier because you let me know that I can share my feeling to others through my photos. Thanks! Brian
Bailey is right, Bryan -- both of us orginally commented on this gallery last fall, when we were new to pbase. Since then both of us have viewed hundreds of galleries and thousands of images, yet we keep coming back to this one beause of its simple beauty and honest feeling. Love is not an easy emotion to express in pictures, because it is so deeply personal. Yet you have done just that with these images of Riki. Because of your feelings for her, and your skill at translating them into photographs, what for most of us would be personal, has become in your case, a universal expression.
