Thanks Robin, Patti & Bonnie! Thanks to all my fellow lensmasters who voted. Congratulations to all — everyone is a winner — so many wonderful lenses and wonderful lensmasters that to be nominated was an honor of itself. I am humbled to have been chosen 2008 Giant Squid of the Year and thrilled to have my Stuffed Cabbage lens chosen as Best Cooking lens — after all, it was my Grandma Julia Nagy’s inspiration behind that lens.
