Patrick Krolis: Thank you very much for the compliment Johnny. I am not sure if I really deserve it, there is so much talent here on shutterchance. Thank you for allowing me to inspire you. I sure do get inspired by lot's of photographers around, and it is a pleasure to be able to inspire others too. With regards to the old and wrinkly friends, I guess they would make beautiful subjects to photograph also!!!

Patrick Krolis: Hey Hey Neil. I know how it is. I have not been around my computer very much this holiday season as well.
About making you look this good, it all about the light man, the rest is complimentary
PS. I should visit South Africa, think you have so much beauty to be photographed there, as soon as I win the lotto.
