The Story of My Days Photo Gallery by Ray :) at pbase.com

The Story of My Days

This is my current PAD gallery. I started doing a Photo-a-Day back in August 2003, and prided myself on never missing a day - I took a new picture every day. However, come the end of January 2005, I started to miss some days and so created the 'Intermission' gallery.
I feel I can now take a new photo every day once more, so here we are!

Michael Shpuntov		07-Dec-2007 23:27
Ray, I've just realized, that while commenting on many of your images I never commented on this gallery. The thing is that the gallery in whole makes all these images that I seen before artistically complete and perfect. It creates a excellent frame for the excellent images you shoot in all these PAD years. I Liked it a lot. Vote.

SRW		24-Sep-2005 08:45
Should have also said that I love the CSS holding it all together...!

SRW		24-Sep-2005 08:44
One of the best PaDs on PBase (IMHO!). The quality is overwhelming; and I love both the fact that you keep all your pictures together, and the fact that, sometimes, your titles lead you in to look at a shot in detail, to learn the story behind it.... Don't ever stop! Voted....

Ron Lutz II		21-Sep-2005 18:25
