Some of those I have followed too and the others I'm glad to learn about. Thank you for all!<BR/><BR/>Your image today is a great choice and I especially like the added reasons with links. Lovely post for theme day, Snapper! I admire your exceptional camera work and the simplicity that you bring to your blog.

I love the photo, of course, but also your reasons - a great way of choosing a photograph. <BR/><BR/>And how generous of you to choose photos from other blogs. I confess, with my two blogs, I didn't give my choices enough (almost none) thought this year because in the middle I suddenly adopted two needy dogs. Obviously this is something to be planned and next year I'll plan it. I really liked your choice for Menton and since reading your words, have found one I like even more - a black and white of a waiter outside a bar. Much to be learned from this! Thankyou. More time next year, Snapper and again thankyou so much for your kind words and encouragement. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to more great pics next year - whoops, I mean this year and wishing you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year.Jillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08059152467099868300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044207950347623422.post-56970780283837448152009-01-01T19:58:00.000-08:002009-01-01T19:58:00.000-08:00I am deeply honoured to be in such wonderful compa...I am deeply honoured to be in such wonderful company. The image of mine you chose has always been one I like more than the pretty pretty ones, but not to everyone's taste. Your own image with the dedicataion to Mrs Snapper just floored me and for that it is the perfect choice although you have so many on a daily basis. An image I recall of yours was the stocking and killer heels. Very Noir,very classy and nailed it for me you are a photographer's photographer.

I admire the clarity and stillness of your work, perhaps because I sometimes run so far in the other direction. I admire the simplicity of your technique, perhaps because my little home office looks like the computer and photo department of Toys R Us.<BR/><BR/>Thank you also for including me in such august company. I haven't seen some of these blogs - the consequence of a very un-simple life - but I looked at all of them you cited today with pleasure. And you're right: I'd <I>never</I> have chosen the picture of mine you linked to today. It reminds me how subjective the appreciation of photography is. An old song from around my early 20s had the line, "you can't please everyone so you might as well please yourself." Let's keep doing that.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you and Mrs. S. for a happy 2009.
