To my mother, Adeline Thank you for those 13 hours! Love you

—Rory

To my amazing mom—the most caring and supportive person I’ve ever known

Thank you for your endless love!

—Yulia

To Donna, my wife of 31 years, my best friend and travelling companion through this life and around this beautiful planet Without your support and encouragement, many of my efforts throughout our time together would not have been possible, nor nearly as enjoyable I look

forward to our upcoming years together

To my son Steve, for sharing in our many endeavors together, for your graphics contribution to our first joint iOS app, 9CardGolf in the App Store, but most importantly for being a shining example to me, and I hope to others, of constant self-motivation and constant learning, and for maintaining a youthful passion for learning about the universe in which we live I look forward

to seeing where you go with your photography passion and the life ahead of you

—Stephen
