My thoughts, also, George. Nice job and idea, Harrison. My hat's off to
you who go out and capture the images that shape Mr. & Mrs. Everyman's
life, and do it day after day after day. Further, to do it and retain
your zeal and enthusiasm for the craft is laudatory. I know that many
working photojournalists have lost their enthusiasm and work at it like
any bloke working a normal job. This list harbors the former; I suspect
that is shown by the fact that they are willing to participate on here.
So, keep at it, you zealots out there; We love ya!
