Off The Wall !!

Hello Darlene, Thank-you for your kind comments on my "One A Day" featured album. Thank-you also for posting this splendid album of photographs; it's outstanding and shows your complete control of the photographic process. Webshots has a plethora of picture categories but they left out what I consider a major category, "Photography", a place for albums like this, and similar albums that appear from different Webshots contributors. A place for photographs that do not all fit into one limited theme. It is a joy to me to see varied images in one album, images captured by the photographer whose eye sees something in a new or different way as that photographer moves through the world. Oh dear, I've gotten on my soapbox but I shall let it stand. Continued success to you. Regards and God bless, Carl

Darlene, Bravo!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful album. You left out one of my favorites from the salvage yard! The shattered window, so colorful. I still have it as wallpaper. This is a great album, full of color and a super variety of photos. Hope your leg heals, swiftly. Hugs n love, Sharon

Hi Darlene, Thanks so much for checking out my new album! It's going to take me a while to finish it & even longer to get to the next ones from our trip. I took a LOT of pictures! For now, it's back to work & two weeks of "family events" as we have visiting relatives (both sides of the family) and a wedding on my husbands side! With our kids back at home & extended family crashing on our couches, there's not enough time to "play" on Webshots!!! But, it sure is good to hear from my "East Coast Friend!" Thanks so much for staying in touch & keep on taking these great pictures! This album is very good & I look forward to viewing it at a more leisurely pace, a.s.a.p.!! Take care & God bless, Lynn

Darlene--I love this album! Such a variety of shots & all very well done.Great colour in those clown shots! Thanks for your comments on my "Forest Walk".Not all the shots are my backyard--some, ( including the stream), are from an area in a local park.Because it's a salmon stream,it's left " au naturel".A great place to be quiet!--Nancy

Hi Darlene,thanks for visiting my sea album.I'm happy you like it.I looked at this colored album.Great shots.Love the clown,the nice colored dishes but my favorite is "bedrock&quo t; for the very special tintes of green and grey.Thanks for sharing.Belgium greetings.Mary-lou.

said louke105 2005.04.13 at 14:04:45 PDT

Hi Darlene, I really love this album, it's not "off the wall" at all, it's what photography is all about, viewing things in a new light, with a fresh perspective, being daring and innovative, and you've succeeded to do them all! I'm so happy you posted these shots, they are masterpieces, each in its own right! My favorites are: #1 &2 for the expression on the clown's face; #3,8, 11 &12 - unusual sujects, pure light & pattern; #9, 10, 13 and 16, 24 - I love those rusty antiques! Number 13 is a beautiful still life study (perfect composition and lighting), and #29 are my favorites, the sun coming through the old barn is a prize winning picture! Great album, I think you should do more of these "off the wall" pictures, explore your talent! Love, Ina in Canada

said inicolae 2005.04.09 at 11:33:24 PDT

Hi Darlene. What a fantastic album and I hope you do add lots more. Thank you so much for your comments in my "Flowers&quo t; album featured today, it is much appreciated.

Thank you for taking the time to go through all of those, there are only a couple more left to put up. I truly enjoyed viewing this album, as I love the different and unique photos. Yo have so many good shots, but I have to pick my favorite as "Can you Hear Me Now?". I LOL at that one. I'll be back to look at more albums, when I get well.
