I want to give my heartfelt thanks to the entire crew, to my Olympia, Washington friends, and to the exceptional members of Congratulations. This was a particularly exhausting 3-day shoot, and everyone exhibited an impress amount of energy and expertise. I had a great time working with and getting to know everyone. Sometimes the right people come together, and this crew was everything for which I could have hoped.
