Wow thank you Roni, what a nice comment and story!!! I'm glad to have inspired you, really. If my story can help people to make their dream true, wow, it is priceless. What is your member name on iStock? I would love to see your work! Our Felix is still at hospital, he had another big surgery (4 since 2 weeks). He is in good shape and now we hope he'll recover soon. Poor little thing... Thank you for everything, we'll keep in touch!!!

Dear Lise - Hello. I got a chance to hear you lecture at the AWAI workshop in Austin, Texas in January 2007 and I loved your work. You inspired me so much that when I got home, I gave a report on you for my stock photography class at college. Everyone was wow'd by your images and your story and your talent. My teacher gave me an A. Soon, I will have my own website, which is a huge step for me as an artist. Anyhow, I just found your site today and wanted to say thank you for being such an inspiration. After hearing you speak, I have started submitting my work and istock accepted me, which was very exciting. Lastly, I read about your pet Felix here and about your eyes, so please take care and you have all my good wishes for everything to turn out OK. Regards - Roni Java in California.
