Thanks, Penny! What an awesome courthouse – we’re lucky to have such a beautiful building.
Chris, I would like to purchase a copy of your beautiful photograph to display in the Historic Courthouse. is that possible? Thanks, Judge Foster
Thanks, Judge Foster! Let me take a look at what sizes I can print to. I’m hoping I can get a nice 13×19 inch print run off today. I’ll give your office a call when I know with certainty.
Thanks again, Chris
