Very keen. I nicked some photos from the storehouse.co page to set as a desktop, and I'm getting a bit of vertigo just seeing one of the images from the corner of my eye.

The foot prints of the World Trade Center, lit up, are particularly moving from that high up.

Ha! I went to high school with Mr. Laforet, and he has been up to big things, literally, ever since. He once, I recall, ascended to the top of the spire of the Empire State Building.

Many of us, myself included, paid him a nominal sum to take the pictures on our individual senior pages for the yearbook.

And a lovely guy to boot.
