 Hello everyone! First
of all....I do not love myself. I'm only putting my profile up so
you will get an idea who you are dealing with. I've established and
maintained many friendships over the last 6 years of photo equipment
business and I want to thank you for all you've done. I hope I've helped
you as well. This will give you a little glimpse of me as a person.
Occasionally, the fire tones go out when I'm on the phone, and I want to
thank you all for you understanding when I sometimes say...."I'll
call you right back!" Also, my family is a family of photographers
and I've roped several of them into helping me with the equipment sales.
Laura, Gail, Dan and I are here to assist you. We all have our
specialty. Gail and Laura are involved heavily in school/sport volume
pictures and my son Dan is the wedding photographer. We're all here to
help! Anyway....here's the profile! (PPANEPUB@aol.com
posed the questions to me!) Respectfully--Andy

The best part of being a photographer is: Seeing
and feeling the emotion of family and friends revitalized through conventional

photographs of lost loved ones...it really made the impression on me of how
important our work is of preserving memories.
