[w/NW] Picture of the Week 47/2007

I don't always think it's necessary to stick to rules, but this thread is a one of a kind and

it's

pretty specific. 'Photo' (singular, not plural) of the week. "Of the week" is fairly vague, so

who cares if it's a photo you're just getting around to. But I do think it would be nice to

stick

to a single photo here, since that's kind of like, ya know- the title and everything.. I like

Orville's work,

but there are other places we can see people's multiples. Otherwise the basic idea behind

this

weekly thread is kind of wiped out..

 

Like if you had a blog and a category 'Photo a Day.' Why would you title it that and then

start posting more than a photo a day there??

Seems to me that "photo of the week" refers to, or should refer to, either to the best photo

that one shot during the week, or that one processed during the week. I think that the latter

category of picture is also important because sometimes one suddenly discovers that a photo

shot months, or even years, ago is good and decides to process it.

 

Thanks for the kind words, Mark.

Orville--you can't post pix of NYC often enough--please post anytime!

OK Robert--that's the engineer's side of and E or F--where were you?

He's wayyy too young the be the wagon man!

Well, I agree with Ray that on this particular weekly thread, "one to a customer" is probably a good general guideline. (But if you're torn between two, I'd say lay 'em out there.)

 

And I also agree with Mitch, to the extent he's saying that if you're processing or reviewing a batch of your photos, and one sticks out for you -- for whatever reason -- then you're free to call that one your "photo of the week" and post it here.

 

Guess I'm just an agreeable sort of guy. :)

Paul, yes its an F7A at the Western Pacific Museum in Portola, CA.

 

This locomotive can be rented (and operated) for an hour over a closed loop track at the museum.

Didn't mean to cause this much conversation. I think I'll try and keep to the letter of this as

much since I have other areas to post. I was mostly curious about this particular forum. What

I'll do is post one freshly reviewed work here when I can. Thanks for all the opinions, guys,

You're all so helpful.

O, You can always start your own w/nw threads here, just like on street forum..

I like to post a real "of the week", if not my very latest work. No need of more than one post, better to see you every week. It`s nice to recognize most of you by your photogrphic style.

;) almost as good as a pic.

 

I agree with Ray and Mitch...gotta be some sort of theme. Or,why not just post a pic.<div></div>

Allen, I like the "blue" photo.

 

Jack Lo and Orville -- very good street feel on yours.

Clive, I thought that you might like that one. :-) I always enjoy your work.

A very odd week.
