I am very happy that you enjoy the site.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on the wonderful photography and posts in D.C.

I may be back in Seattle in a month or so and will DEFINITELY give you a call. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words about this blog entry. I share sentiments similar to yours about this community and am glad I decided to do this blog. <BR/><BR/>I should have added you to the mix of bloggers who inspire me, because when I was in Seattle, I kept thinking, if I could just take one picture of the Sky Needle as cool as all of yours are, I'd be happy! So, thank you for providing inspiration to a visitor!<BR/><BR/>I'll email you re: your old boss Karen. Her name sounds so familiar to me, but I can't place it. I wonder if I know her from SF?

You have expressed so eloquently and completely what I think has happened for many of us on this daily journey of trying to get better at capturing what we see and why it means so much to us, and to LEARN from each other how BETTER to see. Thank you for featuring your inspiration photographers, many of whom I already know and also adore their work, and new folks to check out on your recommendation. I would like to introduce you to my old boss from my San Francisco days who has lived in DC for quite awhile now and who is a fabulous photographer. Her name is Karen Ackerson, and if you email me I will put you two in contact with one another. <BR/>I love your self portrait and I love how you've actively tried the things your friends are doing and seeing where it leads you. It is exciting to see how this has affected your work. I was sorry to not get to meet you when you were in Seattle. Maybe next time. I've got to book some time with Maya myself. Weird that I haven't met her or Chuck face to face yet. . .life's been complicated, but seems to be clearing up rapidly and freeing more time to get back to my photowalks.<BR/>Best to you in this new year, and thanks again for this thoughtful and thought-provoking post. It captures so much of what I love about this community in the blogosphere.<BR/>-Kim<BR/>Seattle Daily PhotoKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-15869632297150196522009-01-01T15:26:00.000+01:002009-01-01T15:26:00.000+01:00Maya: Your eye may be trained, but your ability to...Maya: Your eye may be trained, but your ability to compose is sheer talent. Thank you for your kind words. You'll have to come this way some time so I can return the favor with a photo walk in this town!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Petrea: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed this post and I hope you enjoy the beautiful photography and writing you'll find among the bloggers I highlighted here. They're all wonderful people! As for photographing strangers, my trick is to take their picture, then approach them and tell them what I'm doing and ask their permission to post their photo. If they say yes, great! If they say no, I respect that. At the very least, give it a shot (so to speak)! I know you'll be fabulous at it, as I've seen the caliber of writing and photography you produce when you feature people you know.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Brian: Thanks! Happy New Year to you, too!

I've been taking them my entire life and had some good teachers along the way (like my dad), so some of these things (like good framing) are quite ingrained in me. I'm not entirely sure if they are talent, or just something I learned so long ago that I don't remember...<BR/><BR/>I love your photos and am inspired by you as well! Keep up the good work. I look forward to going out shooting with you again!Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06163354395585207840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-12825685585947869922009-01-01T05:13:00.000+01:002009-01-01T05:13:00.000+01:00Abe: Happy New Year!

Here's to world peace for all creatures, great and small!<BR/><BR/><BR/>VJ: It's been a riot getting to know you! And yes, you can put that on your resume! (Get that sheet to me, toot sweet!) ;-)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Rob: You're welcome! Learning from each of you has been the one thing I cherish most! Happy New Year to you, Mrs. DL, and Winston.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Arlene: Yes. I took this photo by placing the camera on my six inch tripod and setting on the floor in front of my bed door. In the morning, the light streams in through the bathroom window behind me and lights up the hall. I thought it would make for a fun picture! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Bob: Thank you for your feedback and advice! St. Louis has a gem in you, sir. I look forward to getting together in March and shooting things. As for the POV on the photo and the ladder--when you're only 5'2" you do all you can to look taller. The ladder is there because I had to go up in the attic the other day. I left it because I liked its industrial feel and ambiguity.Janet Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01396294382570650966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-88130687626058286232009-01-01T03:58:00.000+01:002009-01-01T03:58:00.000+01:00Thank you for your kind words.

It's people like you in the CDPB community who have taught and supported me. Anything I can give in return is a pleasure.<BR/><BR/>Love the self portrait. I find myself wondering what the very low POV and the ladder out of the scene signify. It's got strong personality.<BR/><BR/>Hope I get to shoot with you when I'm in your town in March.<BR/><BR/>BobBob Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08276510331824603844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2229381101096636687.post-85433824719375353172008-12-31T22:02:00.000+01:002008-12-31T22:02:00.000+01:00Love the self portrait.

I do think our government will be inspired by our new President Obama -- at least I hope so.<BR/><BR/>I would like to see the War in Irag end and I would like to see the killing stop everywhere.<BR/><BR/>It is my hope that Japan will stop slaughtering whales and raping virgin forests.<BR/><BR/>And I hope the people will lose their clubs and no longer club baby seals to death.<BR/><BR/>What a world we have and live in. 2009 could be so much better than it will be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
