Do you have any calligraphy or similar images you have done that you are willing to share? Would love to see some. I set up a blog on the images: http://richardmanphotography.blogspot.com/ At first I wasn't too sure about doing this sort of stuff (recall that I am generally a no-photoshopping type of person), but I think these images look nice and have good possibilities. They are also fairly unique, leveraging some of my strength... Thanks again.
