EXQUISITE PHOTO ART
...by Randy Dieter of Cincinnati

My good friend and long-ago associate as a News Journal photographer, Randy Dieter, recently surprised me with a gift of his digitized rendering of the picture (above) of me hiking the Appalachian Trail.

The original photo was shot by good friend and hiking companion from Gainesville, FL, Ted Kmet and, the image currently is in use as the header photo on my blog.

In the last few years Randy has perfected his art form to a highly enthusiastic and art-show-quality level.

Samples of his work are available on his web site:  http://myspace.com/rdimages

If you are looking for a unique and classy gift idea, do yourself a favor, contact Randy and arrange to have your favorite photo or photos digitized into a gift that will give forever.
