A few months ago, I was contacted by the Royal Academy of Engineering in London, England to use one of my photographs in a gallery exibition called "Beauty and Engineering".

The exibition opened this week and is being held 2 blocks from Buckingham Palace. I'm being told that my photo is getting a lot of "buzz", however, it is not for sale. After the exhibition, my piece will be placed in the Royal Academy's permanent collection.

Mine is second from the right. You can see more of my photos at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ldcross. You'll see some celebrities from my last shoot.

People all over the world are using my photos on political websites, food websites, blogs, etc. There is even a picture published in a middle school textbook in Argentina!

I've always loved photography since I was in high school. I'm so happy I get to re-visit that love, now (at 47)!
