January 18, 2007

Thursday's Totally Informal Transglobal challenge: "Honour your favourite PBase family member by doing an image in their style or dedicating an image to someone who inspires you.

I have been stumped by this challenge.
There are 97 photographers on my favorite's list. I have been inspired in some way by each of them (you).

My photographic heros hail from every continent on earth. Male, female, old, young; they speak many languages and have varied ideals. Some have fancy cameras, others do not. Excellent visual communicators, all.

So I take the easy way out. I dedicate this image to all of you. If you post here often you have likely, made me laugh, made me cry, forced me to think, taught me to see, touched my soul and/or lifted my spirits. Thank you. Thank you, very much.

Other's in today's challenge can be found here

FujiFilm FinePix F10 Zoom
1/320s f/6.4 at 24.0mm iso200 full exif
