[STaylor]

First I must tell you that I was both overwhelmed and sincerely touched by all of the heartfelt comments we received in our quest for the 2006 member of the year ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦. and making a final decision is certainly been one of the harder tasks that I have had to undertake here at bytephoto ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦.



But the decision has been made and without further ado ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦ ( drum roll please )




The bytephoto member of the year for 2006 is ’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦’‚’‚…‚’‚‚¦..

CONGRATULATIONS ANDREW!!! Can I say how pleased I am that my number one choice has won this honorable position.

I would like to personally thank you myself for all of your encouragement since I joined this site. You know how many times I was very discouraged and ready to leave this site. You always had a kind word. The critiques you give are worded in such a way that they didn't feel like criticizim but trully critiques that have helped me to learn. I thank you. And once again, "CONGRATULATIONS!!!"
