at the rate that people normally visit my page, i figured it would be a few days before someone caught number 15000. surprisingly, it was all over by the time i woke up today. the lucky winner is , who has chosen as her prize a picture of the lovely jaguar rosie


my thanks to all who visited in the past 24 hours. i guess the moral is that people like free stuff (myself included). that was, by far, the most visitors i have ever had in a single day. i will be back to my regular, if infrequent, journal style soon, with a huge feature of my favorite deviations, so remember to come back, and stay classy, san diego!

A word about thanks.
after spending an hour one morning thanking people, i came to the realization that i just didn't have time to keep doing this. it was taking away from my time to look at other artists and to work on my own art. as a result, i will no longer be thanking people when they add my pictures to their favorites. please don't take this to mean that i don't appreciate your support! i most certainly do, but i would rather take a look at your work than spend time sending you a note. i try to at least go to the home page of those that add my shots, although sometimes i just get too far behind. i will respond to comments to the best of my ability, but probably not to thanks for adding your work to my favorites. thank you for understanding, and thanks for visiting!
