That's awesome Glenn with two n's. You were so cute; what happened ;) Awesome post, highlights the way we can use words sparingly and let the pictures tell the tale. (Bit frightened of the last one though). Love your work.

Ha, just seen this. This is brilliant. You should make a video with those images. It's got real shareability potential that one.
