Gorgeous and then some.  Is the Gigliotti gone again?

FANTASTIC pics, do you mind if I ask what camera you used, asked one of the other photo takers that had great pics, too. Want to get a better camera but I just don't know if I can afford one that takes such great pics as yours-I might be surprised, tho-never know til you ask !! Again, these pics are wonderful!!!!! Going to the Pageant to see BCC on June 13th (?) ? I don't know if I can swing it, trying to.

Right now my camera is a Canon 40D with L series lenses. And I will most certainly be at The Pageant on the 13th!  cool
I am glad you enjoyed the photos! I have more coming, a set from the Kansas City show and also Peoria and Davenport, I will probably be posting the Davenport show late tonight!  tongue

My God, I thought mine were halfway decent until I looked at yours again. Holy crap! Truly amazing. I'm not worthy!  lol

Just think of it as a goal - we'll never get there but it sure is fun trying.  Rhonda is the photographer we all want to be when we grow up.   smile

Sister Rhonda gives to photography what JB does with a guitar.....she's the best I've ever seen, and she takes her "hobby" quite serious too!

I think we were chatting a bit and then there was a guy in front of us that swore Joe cut his chops in Colorado?? And as the crowd dwindled down, Joe called me through the line to come behind the fence while he signed stuff? If so, then yes, that was me! I am from the St. Louis area and am the St. Louis area Street Team Rep. for Joe!

I think there are still tickets available for the BCC show, get some and I will see you there!  big_smile

YES that was you, that guy acted like he knew so much, and I turned and looked at you and raised my eyebrows, I thought you probably knew more than he did, and you nicely corrected him..he kept running his mouth anyway, oh well, I just stayed out of it.  I walked away before Joe waved you back, I was just so awestruck to get my t-shirt signed and pic taken w/ him, I just walked away in a daze..also didn't want to hog his time, everybody needed a turn to say hi & thanks to him.  Maybe I will see you at Pageant, thanks for chatting w/ me at KC, it was nice to learn more about Joe, and you were just a nice person -Thanks!!!!!!!!
