I've been validated! My brother called me today to tell me that somebody purchased a few copies of this photo from his ebay store. I was pretty much just screwing around when I took this picture, but thought it turned out good. He put a nice border on it, and added a quote from Henry David Thorough that says something along the lines of 'some men fish all their lives without realizing that it is not the fish they are after.' I have to say that it's probably the quote that sold these, rather than the picture itself, but nonetheless I can take some pride in knowing that I'm not alone in thinking that some of my pictures are good.
