    Dear Larry, Congratulations on reaching your goal and on being one of the first established photographers to give crowd-funding a real go. I think your previous work stands above reproach, and I look forward to seeing Afghanistan through your vision. Wading into the unruly world of internet comment boards and putting to your pitch straight to the public took some guts. There are some great lessons to learn from people contributing comments, and I hope you'll take them into account to make your work even stronger and more transparent. And as for those making snarky comments and using anonymous login names, they remind me of the two grouchy critics on the Muppet Show. Take their criticism with a grain of salt and a sense of humor, and the show will go on. Safe travels, Tomas
