Happy Birthday TO ME! :) This is the group of my local friends I was able to get together to celebrate with me for my birthday. Kind of a odd looking group, but they always seem to hang out with me! :)

THANKS SO MUCH to all my friends around the world that have created images today for my benefit! You don't know how special that is for me! It means MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE! I'm used to going through my birthday hoping someone in my family at least will call and wish me happy birthday, and this year there have been SO MANY KIND people wishing me a Happy Birthday, and congratulating me on the completion of this project! THANKS, THANKS, THANKS!!!

Sincerely,

Paul W. Walters

I was out of town when you posted this...so I didn't get to post with everyone else, but now that I am back I can say to you that this is so cool and I wish I could've been there with you...maybe we could have gone to a pool hall or something. :-) You sure did GREAT on your PaD and I want a poster or a book when you get it ready. :-) HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE PAUL! :-D

Hey Paul how did you find all your brothers? I thought i kept the fact that I had sextuplits a secret.:) great picture but made me sad to think that you didnt have a real party. If I was there I would have made sure you did. I love this picture what could be better than a picture of you on your birthday other than 6 pictures of you? you just have to make a coffee table book, Please, I will back you. Mom

AWESOME!!!! Great shot, Paul, love all the yous!!! Hope you had the best birthday!!! xoxo :)
Guest 23-May-2004 10:59
So that was the way you made it. A seven Pauls team (six and the one behind the camera) making hundreds of photos and choosing the best of them. I was sure there should be an explanation...

Happy birthday (to the seven) and thanks so much for sharing your talent and work.

In conversation with Paul, he wrote:
>> Tomorrow (May 22nd) I'll be shooting some models, and
>> celebrating my birthday, then it's for sure over.

And I wrote back:
> Finish it off with a self-portrait Paul, something with

> the visual equivalent of when a painter puts his
> signature to his long finished painting.

And the image above is what Paul delivered -- proof positive
that life in a wheelchair is in not a handicap for a good
creative photographer.

What can I say Paul? This image is absolutely marvelous;
better than I had imagined, and; a most wonderful
signature image to a whole year of fine image making.

Truly, you finished it off with a bang. Just GREAT !!

Congratulations! I Love this picture of you with all your good friends! It looks like so much fun! How come you didn't invite ME??! :) Looks like a bunch of party animals! They are ALL welcome at ANY party of MINE! :) I can never tell you what this year meant. It is a part of my life I won't and can NOT forget! It's been great! Bravo, Paul! Bravo! :)

Thats Awesome, hope you guys don't cause to much trouble on your bday!
Robin Reid23-May-2004 01:42
Gosh at first I thought ... those guys all look about the same age and size as Paul. Then the clouds parted, the sun shown through, and voila there you were in multiplicity! That is a far out way to celebrate your birthday and to share with us. This cloning business will take you a long way. LOL.

And godspeed Paul. Best wishes as you continue your career and photography. I will look forward to checking in on you from time to time to see if you have posted anything.
