| | | 4000 for Matt_xyz Congratulations Matt on reaching the 4000 post mark.
What can I say apart from the fact that Matt makes a great contribution to WAB with his work as gallery editor and moderator.
Having met Matt personally I can also say he is as great a guy in the flesh as he is on line. Always willing to help and share his knowledge of photography.
Thanks Matt for all the tips and advice I have received from you especially on using flash.
A top man. and here's to seeing many more posts and great photos from you

Matt is one of the sites true Gentlemen. He does a huge amount of work in the background, plus he shares with us some of the best shots on the site. WAB would be a fraction of what it is today without Matts work and input.
I've had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions this year and I hope we can get together again in the near future.  |
