Thank you all, so much.<BR/><BR/>When I started this blog, I never expected to have this kind of tremendous support from such a diverse and creative community. I feel very honored to be able to share experiences with so many people far and near, and to know that so many things resonate in similar ways. The blogosphere is a magical bit of human interconnectedness. I'm so glad to connect with all of you.<BR/><BR/>Thank you so much for such incredibly nice comments. I am looking forward to visiting all of the blogs I have neglected during the busy holiday season.

After a few hundred hours on the phone, she is now resting in my bedroom after a wonderful day of looking at float building, a great night of seeing Mercy and the Merkettes, getting up at 6:40 without plans and making it to the parade with ease, and a Mr. Earl tour of downtown architecture today.Mister Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18405041951237611622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926759868384604174.post-76390836637901965652009-01-01T15:12:00.000-08:002009-01-01T15:12:00.000-08:00A great choice!

Like you said, photography is such a subjective art (isn't all art?) so you having picked that is a window into that which you find interesting and pleasing. I would have to argue that your "best" is one of your black and white night shots, but there you go.. my subjectivity is coming out.<BR/><BR/>Happy New Year to all of the steadfast bloggers here.
