Those sand dune pics are spectacular. <br /><br />As for Barney? Get real, Barney - are you telling us that all the pics of folks at the Olympic Games, the Super Bowl and other sporting events which are splashed across the front pages of newspapers and the Internet are all illegal?? <br /><br />Looks like I'll have to catch up with Wandering Willy down the road somewhere.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-24230451626967413822010-02-28T09:50:14.147-05:002010-02-28T09:50:14.147-05:00Al, the photos you took of the sand dunes were rea...Al, the photos you took of the sand dunes were really spectacular and I truly mean that--I felt like I could step into the photos--as we say in the south, you done good! As for photographing people unaware--you take great photos of people in gatherings such as the one we attended at your's and Kelly's rig in the KOFA area--I don't photograph well but you got some candid shots of me I actually liked. With that said--what is the gray area--many great photographers have published candid shots of people who were unaware--I guess it is a fine line!Janna and Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591282756244454689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-34667750266870766202010-02-28T09:35:18.226-05:002010-02-28T09:35:18.226-05:00Al, your writings brings us a sense of adventure.

I had no idea what I was doing or really even why.<br /><br />Now that we have been doing it for a while it is something that I enjoy very much. Particularly due to the emails and comments we get from our posts. <br /><br />But more importantly the story we are telling ourselves. Sometimes I go back and read what I wrote and I find myself somewhat surprised at my own reactions to things.<br /><br />Just like you said it puts you on a "scavenger hunt" of sorts each day to pay attention to the things around you that might have simply passed by never noticed.<br /><br />Before I started blogging I had read your blog and realized there was so much more to it than just words and pictures.<br /><br />The way you have done it is a continuing story that by your words gets the readers to generate their own pictures in their minds.<br /><br />You do have a gift for word and images that when put together create a theater in the mind.<br /><br />Quite frankly it is YOU that is the inspiration for people like me that blog.<br /><br />You set a standard to follow -- not so much in what you write and photograph but more so the end result you achieve.<br /><br />I bet you could write about changing a light bulb and by the time you were done the reader would be surprised at all the facets involved and would enjoy watching it from all angles of your camera.<br /><br />The really neat thing is -- for you to do this -- all you do is be yourself!<br /><br />Ken and NanetteKen and Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17487358423982855800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-43900252419398346242010-02-28T02:51:02.465-05:002010-02-28T02:51:02.465-05:00Don't worry too much about Barney.

Or maybe he is just an opinionated guy leaving an opinionated opinion on an opinionated guy's blog? Anyway, the photos of strangers might only be a problem if you were trying to sell them...there's a lot of gray area there, I know. If someone ever visits your blog and says "HEY! You have a photo of me on your blog and I don't want it there!"...I'm sure you would simply remove it and say "ooops, sorry, no harm meant", or something like that. Right?<br /><br />And yes, we all have our own reasons for our blogs. I started ours as a way to show our family members and friends where and how we are on this new journey in our lives as RVers, but, then I saw that many other people were visiting our blog and I kind of got a kick out of that, and yes it does indeed give you something to look forward to and it definitely stirs those creative juices. I don't know where I'm going with our blog yet, I'm still working on finding my "rhythm", but, I am having fun with it. <br />Carry on being yourself Al. <br />- Mary Ann :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04140058623243238597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-50319003923304659502010-02-28T01:03:12.707-05:002010-02-28T01:03:12.707-05:00Al, I have to say your photographs (can't just...Al, I have to say your photographs (can't just call them pics) of flowers are amazing. Truly, they are. I almost feel as if I could reach out and touch one and feel the softness of the petals.<br /><br />I also have to admit that since reading your blog for the past several months, I feel a new interest in seeing the world without that "critical eye" you wrote about in the fall. I've also noticed that, although my photography skills are limited as is my equipment, I am always out there looking for something to shoot. You have been, and continue to be, an inspiration to many bloggers and readers of blogs. Thanks for taking so much time to put together the great posts that you do.Margie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10310100815284895284noreply@blogger.com
