Today it’s finally happened, the number one slot in the Popular Galleries belongs to yours truly, YEEEEHA! An explanation as to what’s been occurring during the past week or so was given yesterday when I’d thrown in the towel having enjoyed two days at number two. I thought I was destined never to reach the number one position but here I am. [big grin] I’d like to thank all of you guys and gals for taking the trouble to visit my humble corner of Pbase and casting your votes. Also a BIG thanks to my spin doctor Fag Ash Lil aka Jeanne for whipping you all up into a voting frenzy. I wouldn’t be where I am today without her dreams and fantasy of seeing me at this place and that’s only because I promised her I’d post a shot of me naked in the bath if this were to happen!! What are you like JHR!! I’d like to thank my family for being so tolerant of being photographed at almost every opportunity, I promise not to let your dinners go too cold while I photograph them in the future. Big thanks to Deb too for not taking off your little black number last night for me to wear in my version of Angela’s PJ shot, I don’t think I’d have lived that one down.

I have to say that there are many other photographers posting photos here on Pbase that are well worthy, of holding this position and it’s really just because very few votes are placed. I urge you all to take a moment to click on the vote link if you have left a comment on someone’s picture. That way we will see some very genuinely good photographers and their photographs progress through the chart and enjoy the exposure they deserve…

Lastly I’d like you all to spare a thought for poor Jill who today has lost most if not all of her photographs due to a PC failure of some kind. I’d like to think that if enough of us were to will that hard drive to rectify itself then in some miraculous way it would.

Cheers everyone, have this one on me you are all so wonderful!!
