Please ignore the lame/bad ones I just sent you 🙂

Dear Matt,
You are the greatest. Superb, incredible photos. Just wonderful. Thanks so much and thanks to your staff. They should be on all the networks. Thanks a million. Marge
These are the best pictures I’ve seen of the flooding. Much better than the television crew’s versions. What a strange day.
I grew up in the North End but haven’t lived their for many years. I look at it through your eyes. Thank you for the pictures.
