Harry, my sweetheart's mother and four other close relatives died of cancer, so it's a thought that is always close to me. How long do we have? Will she escape the odds? If not, when and how and please Lord don't let her suffer.

I can only imagine how you must feel. Know that He will cherish her soul even more than you do, and that she is at peace, in joy, through Grace. And know, too, that we are here for you, though our contributions to your mortal well-being be ever so small... but we care, and we are strong, and we shall stand with you as you stood with her.

Very sorry to hear of your loss, Harry. May God bless you and give you strength.

I lost my father to cancer 5 years ago. Please know that your lovely wife is resting at peace and free of pain.

Very sorry for your loss Harry. Perhaps our paths will cross out here in the desert.

God Bless.

Dear Harry,

I too am so sorry for you loss. I echo, though probably not as eloquently, the thoughts of Rodolfo and the rest of our family here. I hope your 57 years of beautiful memories, and the bond that comes from navigating that much life together, will cushion your loss, occasionally bring a smile to your face, and peace to your heart. Please let us know if we can do anything for you at any time.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,

Jim

Shitty new year the last few months. Sorry for your loss Harry, 57 years is unthinkable now a days. Hang in there buddy. Dad has been fighting cancer but hangining in there, barely since november. Sis said two months if we're lucky.
Mom went in for a pacemaker nine years ago and never came back. We all miss her. Dam doctors didn't know she had pneumonia before she went in.

Harry, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Be at peace, knowing she is at peace. I hope you'll find some comfort from knowing we all care for you and wish you well in this time of sorrow.

Here is the results of what looks to be the best I can manage without going coo coo over pixels. Thanks Narasimhalu, that seemed to get me close, but thinking because everything is hinged it is just making this a lot more complicated than I first thought it would be.

Dear Bill,

My thought sand prayers are with you and your family as well. This life is not for the faint of heart, is it? Sheila and I have lost numerous family members to that wretched and insidious disease.

Looks good!

Just a thought Brian: If you stack your layers in the opposite fashion, each step from down to up would be on top and not behind.

Might look more natural and certainly easier to work on since what you want is on top layer by layer and not hidden behind something.

Just spitballing here...

Brian,

Man, I'm thinking that I just would have shot HD video.......................

That dusk shot of Austin Exec reminds me that I've been commissioned to shoot KTKI in the Spring in the same type of light. I'm thinking that I'll charter a 407 and gyro the heck out of the X/D800 for that series.

Do you find the gyro more necessary from helicopters?

I thought about that, but after all the back n forth over it today, I'm beat lol

Jim, the animated gif I did included all the frames, and basically is a movie The squadron CO liked it enough to put it up on the main site so I guess I did good on it hehe

Hey folks, just browsing through some domain names and just registered warbirdphotos.co.uk

Harry, please let me echo the others here in offering my condolences. 57 years is a tremendous accomplishment, one that I hope my wife and I can come close to equaling some day. My family has also lost members to the terrible disease and I am a melanoma survivor. We don't know what God has planned for any of us. You know we mean it when we say the MA2A family is here for you and will do anything we can going forward.
I've enjoyed your photos (and stories), both past and present, and look forward to seeing what you crank out when you start hanging with the AZ boys!

Bill- Sorry to hear about your Dad as well. I'll be praying for your Dad and your family as he keeps up his fight.

My deepest thanks to all on this caring MA2A group.
Thanks
Harry

You're most welcome Harry. When you get to AZ see if you can teach those youngsters a thing or two about photography will Ya?
