To be more precise, I feel as close to you as I do to a friend of 40 years. This is because of what you present in pictures, and, more importantly, what you print in words. While it is unfortunate that all of your extended family cannot live next door, it is such a blessing to know you as a brother who speaks with his heart. God bless you and yours, and Merry Christmas!

In the mid '90's, while on furlough from working as a missionary in Cambodia, I had the incredible privilege of attending one of your GAPW workshops which renewed my spirit by igniting the flame of my photographic vision and passion, filling me with inspiration. Now, after spending the past 13 years in Madagascar working amongst the poor, history has repeated itself when God recently led this tired missionary to serendipitously stumble upon your blog. With joy, you have revived not just my photographic vision, passion and inspiration -- but with your heartfelt blogs, you've added renewal to my spiritual vision, passion and inspiration. Thank you for blessing me and others by your talents, your passion and your love for God. You are loving, humble and inspiring servant in our Master's hands. May God richly bless you and the positive influence you have on others in the year ahead. Finally, I also pray for peace, happiness and a Christ-centred Christmas for you and your family. PS: If you have the time, and havent already seen it, get your family together and watch "The Nativty Story" We shared it again (the French version) with the kids in our neighbourhood today, and it really is a wonderful movie bringing to life the real meaning of Christmas. Here's the link, or better yet, find it on video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meIDz98MFBs Dear Bill, Greetings from Madagascar!

I just felt compelled to tell you how proud I am to know a fellow Kentuckian has made such an impact in such a prolific industry. You have my utmost respect. Thank you, Sir. I live in Shelbyville, and work in Frankfort. I got away from photography in the early 90s, after our house was robbed, and all my camera gear taken. They were film cameras I had bought while serving in SouthEast Asia during the Vietnam War. A little over 2 years ago, after much consternation, I bought myself a D90 and started taking real photos again. I now use a D600, and can never patiently wait till I get it out to take some pictures. I'm not very good at it, but getting better, thanks to folks such as yourself and the folks at Kelby Training. Thank you for your dedication to photography, and the inspiration you impart. I wish for you and your family peace and happiness through this holiday season. Hello, Bill.
