Super article Lon - well written!  Thanks for sharing.
On Ten Years of NPN, April 6, 2010
A big THANK YOU to both Jim & Donna for creating, building, and maintaining NPN for the past 10 years.  I've only been a member for 5 of those years, but I've derived so much knowledge, satisfaction, and friendships from being a member of this great resource.  Thanks you once again!!
Very nice interview - thanks for taking the time to share with us.  Also looking forward to the future interviews.
On How To Shoot "Bad" Light, August 15, 2010
You're certainly one of the finest nature photogs going IMO.  I always enjoy your work, and thanks for the great article.
Really nice interview.  Wow,  an award winning photographer since age 6, now that's impressive!!!  Thanks for sharing this with us.
I finally got a chance to sit down and read the interview, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  It's always great to get these glimpses into the world of these talented artists.  Thanks Richard and Art!
Excellent interview Richard - just got a chance to sit down and read it, and really enjoyed it.
Great interview Richard.  As someone who feels a high regard for Guy and his work, I thought the interview covered areas I was really interested it.  Also, it was very reassuring to see that Guy has struggled with some of the same feelings that many of us struggle with.  Thanks for some great questions, and thank you Guy for your thoughtful answers.
Very nice article and wonderful images.   I visited your website too, gorgeous work.  Thanks for sharing.
Good interview Richard.  I was unfamiliar with Stephen Frink until this interview - his images are just incredible.  Thanks for sharing.
On A Righteous Set of Sticks, March 3, 2011
Righteous article Dude!    Just kidding!  Really did enjoy it!
On Tricky Contrast Concepts, April 6, 2011
Thanks Sam - an enlightening article with excellent examples.  Thanks for sharing.
Nice article Luke.  I was unfamiliar with Dr. Safina before this; also, you have a nice writing style.
Thanks JIm for the nice writeup.  I've poked around Puget's web site since they became an advertiser on NPN and they look very interesting.  I certainly don't understand everything I saw but the next time I upgrade I will certainly give them a call.
Thanks Jim for this tribute.  Ronnie was indeed a superb nature photographer in that his love of the outdoors came through in his images so well.  We will all miss him dearly.
Great read Guy, and so very true!  Two thumbs up!
Great write up Guy, one of your best IMO.  Never thought about it in quite those terms, but it makes a lot of sense.
Finally got a chance to sit down and read this.  A nice read - over my head in places, but I'm a techno-dud in most things anyway - heck, I don't even have a smart phone yet!  Thanks for your insights.
Good stuff Stan!  What's really scary though, is that I find myself agreeing with you in some of the instances!!  That's REAL scary!!  You need to write more of these!
Nice article Guy, and interesting perspective.  I agree - I love the freedom RAW has given, or returned to, us. 
On Using a Viewfinder, October 5, 2011
Nice artilce Alain - thanks for sharing.  I most commonly use an old slide holder just to save space, but certainly see the advantage of having larger sizes.
