Thanks Neil, I enjoyed looking thru all the photos!

Always a pleasure. Great kids. I'm sure Teddy is doing well and enjoying himself. Tell him I said Hi!

Thanks for the awesome action photos of my son Alex at baseball. You really capture key moments in the action. I've said to you before, it ain't just the equipment as every parent can attest. Your efforts are greatly appreciated and will again be appreciated by the next generations as they share and cherish these images. I look forward to seeing you at the games and talking about life. All the best to you Neil.
Fondly,
The Dwork Family
PS Teddy misses your photographic skills at UF

Thank you for the kind words. Taking the pictures has allowed me access to the players and Benjamin Sports program in a unique manner. I see what goes on in practices and game time outs. I really wish every parent had the same opportunity. I have had limited exposure to other High School Athletic Departments in the area and they pale in comparison. The quality of the Benjamin coaches as people is without equal. The kids are fortunate indeed. As I have said before, my time is well spent if only one athlete uses a picture to show their kid how it was done back in the day. Cheers, Neil

Neil - Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your time and effort in taking and posting all of these photos over the years! As I've told you before your ability to capture that one second in time in amazing - allowing many of us parents to cherish it forever. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such nice sentiments. Hopefully todays kids will pull out one of my pictures to show their senior how it was done back in the day.

Your Senior Night pictures brought me to tears (of joy of course)!
Pictures capture such special moments and memories to treasure, and yours are the best!!
Thank you for being such a special part of the Benjamin family, we appreciate you!!

Thanks Mike. Good to see you the other night. You haven't gotten any better looking.

Having practiced law with Neil a number of years ago I knew he was an excellant attorney. What I did not know is that he is an excellant photographer. Neil thank you for the pictures. They are excellant.

She is badly mistaken. She is young

Hey! That's not nice! Like I said...my daughter says I'm the most handsome man in the whole wide world!

Thank you for your comment regarding pictures of Coach Clark. I have received a number of requests to remove ALL his pictures. However I strongly believe that even those less gifted in the beauty department deserve their day in the sun. I fully understand that these shots scare small children, but I look at it as a possible teaching moment for parents. It provides an opportunity for a Mom or Dad out there to take their child aside and explain to them how sometimes really nice people unfortunately end up looking like Coach Clark and that the Coach shouldn't be judged on looks alone. Now,I know that Coach Clack isn't a nice person either but I'll leave that lesson to another day.

Great shots,but please please take less pictures of Coach Clark

Thank you. Shooting in daylight is such a pleasure since most high school sports take place under the lights or in the gym. I appreciate you looking.

Great shots of the girls lacrosse camp!! You do wonderful work!!

Thank you so much for all the pictures (especially basketball!) We take hundreds of pictures and cannot get one that is as good as yours. Your pictures are making our yearbook great!

Thank you for the kind comments. I am happy that the pictures are being put to such good use!

Your pictures are outstanding!

Thank You SO much for all of the outstanding pictures you have contributed to our 2010-2011 yearbook. You've been very helpful in making sure our yearbook is perfect with the best quality pictures possible. Your time and hard work is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for contributing a large amount of pictures for the Benjamin Yearbook! You have been such a great help for everyone and made our pages look great. We really appreciate your help and awesome pictures!

Neil - I just looked at the most recent Boys Soccer pictures and they are fabulous, as usual! I can't thank you enough for taking these incredible pictures and sharing them with us. They are such great keepsakes documenting the wonderful experiences our children are having at Benjamin. Thank you for sharing your talents and your time with us!! Debra Ruedisili

Neil -- Mainly just letting you know that I checked out your site. Great work!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Unfortunately Catherine you would lose that bet. I offered to do this for Emily's school. Suncoast, and was totally ignored. I shut down the website I had started for them. Shame for the kids.

Great photographs..I can bet that every school would love to have someone like you to provide this incredible gift.

Thank you for continuing to take pictures at TBS events! One of my favorite pictures of Katie is one you took of her playing lacrosse. You have a great eye for capturing sports moments. I hope your family is well. We miss you.

Dear Neil,

It is wonderful working with you! It is a pleasure to help you with your enthusiasm and continuation of helping the Benjamin School even after your daughter had graduated. You are truly and inspiration. I look forward to working with you in the future creating more commemorative footballs for the Benjamin High School Team. Can't wait to finish the current order in house. :)

JV Football?

Neil : Your first time to do golf pictures was a memorable day for both the boys and you. THANK YOU so much for your dedication to BEST athletic programs in the state of Florida !!! You have become such an important part of our seasons and future memories. Your time and dedication is so appreciated.

Less pictures of Coach Clark would be nice, but less of Coach Parks would be FANTASTIC!

Great pics, Neil! You're the man!

Great Job the pictures are great. Keep up the good work.

need less pictures of Jim Clark

Neil Hayes, the greatest photograhper in Benjamin History.

Neil,
Your photographs are the record our children will get to share with their children. Your action shots are well thought out well executed and most of all loved by many! I appreciate your skill, your time, and the expense involved in your camera set-ups. The Varsity Football books are labors of love and it shows. Thanks for continuing your quest for the perfect sports action photo at Benjamin!
Fondly, Thom, Janet, Teddy, and Alex

Thanks so much for sharing these awesome pictures with us!

Neil:
I know I have told you this many times, but once again "Thank you for helping to capture the memories we have of our children." Whether it be on the field or at the Olympics, you have captured the best of Benjamin and I thank you for that. Your pictures will hang in my house and reside in my albums for future generations to enjoy.

Neil,

Words can not express my heartfelt gratitude for what you have done for the school and especially the athletic program. You have gone far and above the call of duty. I appreciate your time, loyalty, but most of all, your friendship. You have made memories that will last a lifetime!

Thanks! And GO BUCS!!

Neil,
