Lovely Tiny Blossom

Memorial Day - A prayer of gratitude for all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
**********************************************************
SILLY TUESDAY is tomorrow!!

Gary Hart. If you didn't read Gary Hart's commentary on his post yesterday, you would do well to go back and read it. Not only will you pick up so pointers on night photography, you will realize how a workshop with a competent instructor is invaluable. Gary and Don Smith are giving us regular free tutorials.
**********************************************************
On Saturday, Willow put Am3 in perspective for me. All of you with whom I have established a friendship dearly love photography. To be connected with people who love what you love is one of the great joys and one of the great privileges of life. Our relationship is not so much one of interest as one of love and passion. And that shared love and passion is always nurturing to the heart and the soul.

"I wish more people felt that photography was an adventure the same as life itself and felt that their individual feelings were worth expressing. To me, that makes photography more exciting." - Harry Callahan

Nice photography quote there from Harry Callahan. And nice photo as well! Makes it more interesting to have several flowers in the photo like this rather than just one.

Lovely naturally caught shot!! (unlike my "in-home flower shoot)....great framing and muted background.....As far as your commentary, you have made me realize exactly what draws me to folks just like you...".To be connected with people who love what you love is one of the great joys and one of the great privileges of life."
You've said it perfectly!!!! Don't know what i would have done without all the human contact i've received on am3 in the past month of being stuck at home, day & night!! It's really been a sanity saver!! So, thanks to you, to start!!!

willow from Chelsea, United States

Beauties! I've never seen petals like those - very intriguing. And, thank you, for putting into words what I've been feeling about this place and the people here - it is so incredible to have, for the first time, friends who understand and share the love I have for photography. It's also great to know I'm not the only nut who takes my camera everywhere and is willing to get into some pretty awkward spots in order to get the next great shot!

25 May 2009 11:44pm

@willow: Makes you think that you might not be totally crazy!!
