special thanks to:

my family for their unfailing support and love. i'd be nothing without you. i am truly blessed to have
you in my life, and don't ever think i'm not very aware of that. i love you very much.

those who purchase my work, for making this site and my photography possible.

Steph, for being so supportive of my work and for being such a great friend.

Jenna, for humoring me as i ramble about my photos, giving ideas and feedback, and being an excellent
friend in general. you are wonderful, Jenna. if it weren't for you constantly bringing up the fact that i
need a web site i might never have got around to it :)

Christiane, Candace, and Guy, for making my first real gallery showing such a wonderful experience.

Rob P. and Natalie for publishing advice, for helping set up the hummelstown historical society event,
and for being so nice to me.

Darlene, for being such a great friend and supporter.

Kellie, for the above, and also for helping with providing fonts, which is an enormous help.

Stacy, for being a great friend, and helping me out with feedback on the site... as well as listening to
me and providing thoughtful advice.

Scott, for his assistance in locating sites and navigating the exploration community on the ol' interweb,
and being an all-around helpful guy.

Sarah, for being the one to show me how to get into byberry, thus sparking an obsession that has
consumed me for years.

my friends at www.soaphoto.com for being so kind and helpful with their comments.

Audrie, for giving me information on places in lancaster i might be able to show at, which led to the
square one showing.

any of the number of people who have given me permission to enter/photograph houses and buildings
on their properties. you probably will never know how much going into these places means to me. ditto
for people who have told me where some of the sites i went to are.

Ryan, for being one of the best scouts for these sites that i know, for giving me helpful input on the
site, and for being a good friend.

i'd like to say more on the people i've thanked, and thank a lot more people, but i'll try to keep it short.
to those who have been helpful and kind, who appreciate the work i do, who visit my site and support
my work, i humbly thank you also.
