 As the long winter begins, I pulled this shot from my archives. Setting of the sun over a portion of the Hudson River. A couple of words about the WOW Award. It is not my intention to make an award everyday. Some days (like today) I may even recognize more than one. But on the whole, please don't expect to see this each and every time you open my site. I look at between 100 and 200 photoblogs every day. I like to wander the back roads of photoblogland. Sure I like to look at Daily Dose, and A Walk Through Durham Township, and Chromasia, etc. but we all come to expect to be WOWed by those sites...it almost becomes humdrum (no offense to the sites at all). What I really love is to be wandering from site to site and all of a sudden, BAM!!, I am hit by it. My breath leaves my body and the word 'WOW' is all I can get out. That is the experience I crave. Those are the pictures I award. That said. I am in fact giving two WOW Awards tonight! I have been watching My Camera Eye for many months. Scott and I exchange lots of private email about photography and other things. I have come to respect Scott for his great motion blur shots. In fact, it was a shot in a Washintgton DC Metro station that first grabbed my attention. This morning, I was stopped by his picture 'The $100 Dollar Picture.' which builds on his skills at motion blur photography and adds a whole new approach to the traditional car light trail pictures.  The second award is retroactive. On December 14, Ana at Shutterfly by Ana posted 'Passing Afternoon.' In my comment on that picture I told her she had won my 'WOW Award' for the day. Problem was... I had no award at the time. But it was the inspriation for starting the award, so I felt it only proper to give her the recognition she deserved for WOWing me!  | |
