Thanks Danny. I assure you that you will get good tips from here when it comes to you taking pictures of your yet to be born child.
Tom says it’s Ryu Magazine, so maybe I can try Ryu TV at the same time. If it wasn’t for MTBA making me quite the sports fan, I wouldn’t really be here. It’s not yet the final product and we’ll see how this all comes down to in March 2012. :)
