thank you Ted, for your very kind support.  The work goes on, I will keep 
you informed,

the encouragement is much appreciated, I hope to be completing the  shooting 
in the next several months,  quickly moving on to the next phase of the 
project, making prints, planning the book,  and lining up a publisher.

I am glad you see the goal as worthwhile,


Steve
