Hi Anneke; You are most welcome for the comment I liked the shot. Many thanks for the two links and for explaining to me how you were able to take the photo in the "Beauty "contest. I had thought it must be hard to photograph one's self. It must of been fun too! I have a monopod which I really like as the ground seems to so uneven in places that I go, it works great. I heard of the second item before but had not found a link about. Again many thanks. Have a good week; Kelly:))
Dr. Evil has been laying low since Mrs. Evil had her unfortunate, but believable, accident.
All but one of the avatars in the Fotkipus albums were created by me. (The exception was Viviane’s, and in all the hysteria, I don’t recall how that happened.) I tried to feature the other designers in the video ( http://video.fotki.com/drib/29284/ ), but I suspect that I didn’t see your design until later. Now that I have your implied permission, I will gladly add it to the Fotkipus collection. Thanks!

PS. I haven’t had time to comment on the most recent contests, but I did see your self-portrait, and thought you did a wonderful job with that.
Irony. Don't you love it - people in glass houses throwing stones!! I'm a terrible tease, and consequently I get the heck teased out of me. Someone was apologising to me yesterday at Church for a good "get" her daugher had on me, but I laughed and said if I didn't enjoy being teased back I sure wouldn't dish it out!!
" I am a martyr to my own saintliness" LOVE IT!!! People often remark that my own halo can often be seen to slip a little bit!!
Thanks for dropping in, that guy was very young. I left a message in his gb to suggest that he should critique photos in the Critique Me blog where people are looking for critique, instead of the general contests, but he got quite uppity, and wouldn't take any advice and now I see he's deleted his account. Very sensitive for someone who dished out some prettty mean comments.
Thankyou for your comment on my photo. It was nice of you to be concerned about the mould, but actually I was quite a long way away. The zoom lens and picasa's crop feature are wonderful things!
Hey all you globetrotters, check this out and make one of your own. Mine's only a teeny one. Some fotkins like Gary will have massive ones - he's visited 22% of the planet!! If you don't mind, I'd like to make an album of snapshots of each of your travels as at August 2007. If you want to participate, follow the link here:
Hi Anneka Thanks for your comment on my horses in Washington entry, in reply to the comment by Drib. I found it most interesting; I saw the horses and photographed them, and they were appropriate for the contest as obviously working, but knew none of the background to it. They do look like Canadian Mounties, don't they? Thanks again. Hope you are having sunshine in your life. Slainte Myra
The happiest place on earth on the outside is also one of the most fascist from the inside. I used to work for Warner Brothers in Burbank, and the Disney Studio was just across the street. There were always people going back and forth between studios, and the word was that they were very difficult to work for. They’re reputation for aggressively protecting their characters extended to art on nursery school and day care walls. So good luck trying to get their ear over the RCMP deal!
Elsewhere . . . it’s nice to see you’re still embracing the Fotkipus brand. Maybe someday Disney will buy me out, and then you’ll pay dearly for that.
I'm writing to you because I found your name in Fred Martel's friends list. Fred is not well & unlikely to improve. He is on a waiting list for a continuous care facility, but they aren't sure how long it will be before a room becomes available for him. I'm not sure if he is still able or well enough to access his fotki site so wondered if you would be kind enough to send him a card?
His wife thinks he would be very pleased to receive cards from his Fotki friends. The present address to send them to is:
Fred Martel c/o Glenrose Hospital Unit 4D 10230 - 111 Avenue Edmonton, Alberta, Canada T5G 0B7
I can't leave comments in the contest for some reason.
This is what I tried to leave on your entry:
I thought the kids are supposed to enjoy these rides! So what if the photo's not technically perfect? Many of us take photos to record the memories of the great experiences we have! This is a beauty, great expressions, perfect for the contest, well done. Good luck Anneke!
I've just been through your most recent album. How very impressive :). I have some albums up I know you'll enjoy ...
We've uploaded some extraordinary albums of our weekend getaway last weekend to the Bay of Fundy area in the Annapolis Valley region of Nova Scotia. Presently there are 5 new albums (more to come). There is an incredible beach called Blue Beach that contains cliffs (capes) that range in height from 30 ft.(9.1m), to 100 ft. (30.5m), fossils that date back 300 to 400 million years ago, the path to and from the beach, and the tidal bore photos - a phenomenon unique to this area in the whole of North America.
We'll let you know when we've uploaded the photos of Halls Harbour - a romantic and picturesque harbour village where the tide rises up to 55 ft. (17m) at high tide and plunges to 2 ft. (0.609m) at low tide. Every day, twice a day, ships and boats sit idle at the bottom of the harbour's floor awaiting the next tide before they can go out to sea again. It's really something to see and it was featured in National Geographic magazine 3 times. Come see and please feel free to leave comments.
