Jeez, I uh, I don't know what to say. Well, I have to thank my photography professor at NYU for believing in me three decades ago when everybody else thought I'd never get anywhere, and my agent who actually takes my calls, ha, ha, ha, and of course my girlfriend Vittoria who is still with me and actually thinks I'm a pretty nice guy. Anyway, thanks especially to Alberto Tirado for this award. By the way, it's kinda spooky that he refers to policemen, inasmuch as Martin & Busch are cadets in the local police academy! Did I say spooky? Anyway thanks again.
