Got something to say?
Congrats!
I am glad about Raph, which he got to be represented to the ALYMPICS …He is my friend.
As the thought of his position, I expect for the correction – member of the Visual Shot Club instead a president and project coordinator with other PWD on photography. I hope this responsibility should be changed sooner.. thank you!!
