      Looks good - I like how the wall and desk are stark white. . Isn't it amazing what we can do with technology today?

      thanks, surprisingly there was very little tweaking, the flash really bounced around the small almost all white room, leaving only few shadows.

      that's what gave me the idea to deliberately white out the desk and wall. my boy is a little over exposed, but given time I guess i could tweak it. it was more a case of getting it up quick to show the family that we were just chatting to :)

      so true about todays technology, you can do almost anything!

      Hi! I'm Mahan Ramos, a producer based in Singapore. Currently I am working on a program entitled Quirky Science, in one of the episode we are featuring the evolution of telephone, from Graham Bell to Skype. And I'm looking for pictures, from different races to show the reach and value of Skype, With that I am asking for your permission, can I use this photo for my program? I will include your name in the closing credits plus send you a DVD copy of the program. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon.

      Best,
      Mahan

      Hi John,
      I'm contacting you on behalf of a small Speech Therapy practice in Melbourne, specialising in young children. We've recently been trialing video calling (ie Skype) as a therapy tool, and came across your picture. We thought it was a great shot, illustrating how easy it is for children to interact with. With your permission, we would like to include it in an advertisement we're placing in "Speak Out" a publication by Speech Pathology Australia (an industry magazine). You will be credited for your photo on the ad.
      Here's a link to the publication if you're interested.

      Regards,
      Tom.
