Landscapes are sellable (<-- is that a real word?). You are really turning into a photographer, and can soon start to sell to magazines and ad agencies.

I had a message from 'Way2Cool4you' today asking if I knew you! You post under a different username (as do I) but I recognised the photos!

If you have the need for one very uncooperative, camera shy, huge fear of strangers, overly energetic 21 month old then I'll lend you Sophie for a few hours!

Great photos as usual.

I've actually stopped the pro bonos until after the new year. But I really do thank the moms who gave me their time so I could learn more!

Hey, wait, I better get some thanks here too considering I'm the one who gave Xo the Cholula in the first place. :wink: I unloaded a slew of unopened bottles of hot sauce on her before I left Finland. :D

Has anyone actually opened the bottle yet? I know the one we have (bought it ourselves!) is open.

Hmm, maybe we should trace the history of the Cholula bottle for fun. :lol: :roll: :lol: I'll start with the bits I know:

1.) Manufactured in (fill in the blanks)
2.) Shipped to some distribution center in who-knows-where
3.) Shipped to some supermarket in North Dakota.
4.) 5 bottles of Cholula purchased by my brother in Minot, North Dakota, during Spring 2006, before he moved back home to Montana.
5.) Transported by a 2005 Ford Taurus to Montana during Spring 2006
6.) Mailed from a smalltown post office in central Montana to Espoo, Finland.
7.) April 2006 Cholula stopped at customs in Helsinki/Vantaa airport for having a suspicious shipping label. They ask, "what's hot sauce?"
8.) April 2006 - Package retrieved, contents unpacked, recipients wonder how on Earth they'll manage to consume 5 bottles of Cholula hot sauce in the short time remaining before they permanently move back to the USA.
9.) Summer 2006 - one or two bottles of Cholula consumed.
10.) October 2006 - Lucky friend Xo gets to rifle through Montana's cupboards before the big move.
11.) December 2006 - Xo gives to middlewoman TM, who gives it to middlewoman enk, who gives it to its happy new owner raamv.

Did I leave anyone out? Feel free to edit at will. Raamv, perhaps you shouldn't open the bottle. It was surely meant to travel the world. :lol:
