Thanks to Everyone who came to the photo swap. Angelo Benedetto's Photo "walked away" as the Swap Favorite, but there was alot of great work to be had. Swapping was pretty civil ;) and it was a great laugh.... I hope all participants received a copy of Bing's roundhouse photo- be sure to contact the gallery if you have not seen the image.
