Hi Ted,

I admire your fantastic capacity to look and "see" through the images and
say what was in my mind. Thank you very much for your analyze and your kind
words, that always helps.

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Hello Luis,
There is a nice open feeling to these pictures, well done. Instead of what
we see sometimes with circus pictures, the photographer is almost on top of
the performers and they never really look happy. :-)

In these it's like pictures of people you know, as you say..."your friends."
And the pictures show a friendship between them and you not usually seen in
these kind of photographs. Yes a nice souvenir! :-)

Well done a keepers for many years to come.:-)

ted
