Hi Ray

Been away on holiday for the last week - you were one of the main reasons I got into the PAD community - thanks for the great shots over the last year - its been great seeing your skills grow and your photography evolve. Hope you enjoy the next 365.

Cheers,

Steve

Have just spent many enjoyable minutes looking back at your year, what a year!!!

And inspired by my favorite ABBA song, Thank you for the music, here goes my tribute to your 365 PaD's

So I say
Thank you for the pictures, the sights I'm seeing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be
Without a camera or a PaD what are we
So I say thank you for the pictures
For giving them to me

Wow....

In few words, just to draw a conclusion:
Ray, "you are made the stuff / sensors are made of".
jude07-Aug-2004 15:40
`Twas brillig, and the slithy Ray
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the pbasers,
And the mome raths outgrabe'

dunno Ray, sounds ...

messy
Adalberto Tiburzi07-Aug-2004 14:50
Fantastic Self, so true and intense. And great B&W (the black, in particular).
I hope you keep on you PaD project!
Carol E Sandgren07-Aug-2004 07:26
You look perturbed. Is it safe to assume then that you will be here with us for the next 365 years? We'd surely miss you if not!
Adalberto Tiburzi07-Aug-2004 06:02
Friends, Pbasers, PaDermen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury my 1st year PaD, not to praise it.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Me.

Guest 07-Aug-2004 02:06
OK...Adal...you are crazy and funny! And Ray, why has this portrait inspired such starnge poetry from your fellow PBASE friends!?
virginiacoastline07-Aug-2004 00:26
BTW Ray . . GREAT SP . . and you are now officially committed to year #2 . . not to mention just plain committed (or should be) LOL! Just KIDDING!

Gary Winters06-Aug-2004 22:15
Well what can I say other than Fantastico! Great SP
Adalberto Tiburzi06-Aug-2004 21:54
To make my bubble Self / or not to make
Those naughty pBasers / I know their plans
Yet can men escape / the destiny ahead?
Undressed till tomorrow / better I shall remain.

"To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come"

my favorite soliloquy ...
Excellent lighting Ray... excellent. Doesn't matter if you are pondering the next 365 or the timer... this is very good and emotional.

I think you look like you're sitting at the end of the bed, wondering how you're going to tell her it was a one-night stand. LOL
Adalberto Tiburzi06-Aug-2004 12:57
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep.

Ray, this one is one of the BEST portraits (especially SP) I've seen. Just great! Molodetz!!!
Karen Leaf06-Aug-2004 02:26
Excellent SP. Looking forward to the next 365.
Guest 05-Aug-2004 23:54
Shaver set to 0? Ummm ok then! Nice and moody! Like me! LOL! Good for you for continuing, I'm not sure I'll be able to! But time will tell!
snootydog05-Aug-2004 23:14
You're stressing over this way too much Ray ;-) Wonderful photo comes out of it. Really nice.

Jill05-Aug-2004 22:12
Ahhh the drama, the lighting...well done Ray.
Gayle P. Clement05-Aug-2004 21:49
Very well done, Ray. This looks very pensive. I always end up with a frozen grin by the time the timer goes off.

I appreciate you taking the time to explain the steps you use when processing.
Linda Alstead05-Aug-2004 21:46
hee hee that's so cool....well done Ray!
boegheim05-Aug-2004 21:39

Robin Reid05-Aug-2004 21:26
