This gallery is now a complete year of Daily photos, and although it has felt like a chore on some days I have to say that it has been great fun most of the time. When I started my intention was to challenge myself to try new things, especially to get out of my landscape comfort zone and make myself a more rounded photographer. I've certainly tried lots of new things, had a few disasters, some near misses, and lots of pleasant surprises. But the biggest pleasure is always reading other people's comments and checking out their galleries. There are so many talented people on here that it beggars belief. I really appreciate any comments, especially the constructive ones. I am now moving on to a new gallery for my second year.........
25.2.08 - Planet Zog! OK, after the gritty realism of yesterday's DP I thought we were ready for a trip through space and time. Apologies to my American friends for decimating an iconic image, but I tried several different landscapes and Monument Valley was the one that worked best. I must admit to being moved beyond words when I was in Monument Valley a few years ago. We got there late in the day and seemed to have the whole place to ourselves. It was a really magical place and I can see why the Navajo people value it so highly.
