Thanks Yikes.

Thankfully, all seems to be fine.

Only $510.00 more for the A-10.

The first 10 units of the A-10 will be offered for $5,500.00 only. We have only six available for that price for now as four units have been spoken for.

Great photos, as usual, Drew. Fantastic job working with the lighting, which is more than challenging. I struggled with it most of the day and spent most of my time using the built in flash. I was too lazy (busy?) to grab my external flash and couldn't get a good exposure using available light (although did capture a few). Thanks for taking and sharing.

I took more than I thought. Here's a few until I have a chance to go through them.
