ah now i am glad i took time to comment as i was going to say hey george "how are you" on brants fabulous shot. I was just lying in bed thinking about the time we had this long conversation - albeit through typing- about wine- probably because i could use a drink right now as my beautiful daughter is allergic to sleep- hence my sleep-deprived rambling- all that said, it is nice to have a chance to say goodbye.

Ce n'est qu'un au revoir ;-)

Hey, there you go. I just clicked on this to rate it and presto :)

Why is weeklyshot shutting down? Is this permanent? Will the current site cease to exist? This is terrible news. What's going on?

Tom, you need to check out the google group messages. Yes it is shutting down, yes it is permanent. I think that it will remain online in some capacity but that is entirely up to Brandon as to how he does that.

yeah, this one hangs on my wall
köszönyom szépen george.

see you soon :)

@Tracy:
Hiya sistah :-) Been out of the loop partly because of a host of computer issues: first, internet/email was down for a couple of weeks; now, my computer motherboard is fried, so I'm in the market for a new system. I'm considering the 24" iMac with 2GB RAM. Any thoughts? I know you have a Mac.

@Mark:
It's strange and wonderful how a chance meeting can lead to so much. WS was the first venue through which I met people in person who I first met online; Jarrett and King, then you and Tracy and Vernon. A what a great meeting it's been. I continue to be inspired by your energy and intention, oh and, yeah, your photography, too...once in a while, at any rate ;-) Cheers, my friend. I look forward to our next meeting, wherever that may be.

@nattfodd:
some people at the beach who i do not know...but i like your suggestions :-)

@kyla:
thanks for the comment. i wish for you a generous dose of sleep. have you considered giving the little one some wine? may do the trick ;-) i had to go back to the archives and re-read our wine discussion. it's 9:20 in the AM right now, so i'm in no wine mood, but perhaps later today i'll have to open a bottle of Castle Rock pinot noir and toast your health...but mostly toast your sleep. cheers!

@pete:
thanks, and glad you like it.

@JIMJIM:
So true, they DO all seem to be looking for something else!

A bientot!

@kadenajack:
Completely out of focus shot = more abstract. That's one reason.

@flipthom:
:)

Lemmingstone:
Cheers, and thanks for the "click."

@Vernon:
Close, but not quite. The "one on your wall" is this: http://www.weeklyshot.org/theme/dream/response/45/

Cheers, my friend, and see you soon :-)

Yo bro, Vernon and a hoard of others would say buy a dell, I say go for the Mac. In the end it all depends on if you have the extra cash laying around and how badly you want something. I might end up heading to Macworld this week with Diane Varner, just letting you know where my loyalties lie.:-)))

Congrats!!!

Always loved these images George. Congrats on the feature, a great way to bid farewell. Hope to see you around.

I think if I liked someone very much and they told me they wanted to find a person to teach them photography, I would send them first to you to learn how to see.

@King:
I just read your comment...and wanted to say thanks for the kind words :-)
