FAVORITES-CLOSE TO THE HEART!

Dear friends: Everyone takes photographs, from a few dozen to thousands. Some images achieve a special status of preference, a distinction, liking or recognition, either by the photographer himself/herself who took the images or by the viewers. I am humbly trying to put together some of my such image collections at one place.

This gallery will not be limited to any particular category of photography, e.g. nature, scenics, people, architecture, closeups, etc. In this, I will try to lump together, randomly, all kinds of pictures. Many were taken quite a few years ago. Both film and digital cameras have been used. I hope my experiment will be successful and you will enjoy it.

The gallery is likely to have additions of images from time-to-time. Best wishes for a happy fall season. JARIS
