That was Jeffery commenting, not me. And, yes, this is all family. I'll be getting in what photography I can, though I don't think there'll be any shortage of opportunities. > And be careful when taking family photos at the rim of the Canyon. > "Just take one step back..." Oh, don't worry. I was a gymnast and diver as a kid, but somewhere along the way I developed pretty serious fear of heights. Once, on the Blue Ridge Parkway, with my wife driving, I was practically in terror till we got down off there. Hopefully this fear will spill over into care in posing the family.
