That story about your dad cracked me up! My father was a photographer, also, and no doubt shares in your dad’s brand of humor.

Thank you so much for the head nod on my little corner of the photography world. I do so appreciate it! I can’t wait to check out the others that are new to me as well.

i love the story of your father!! it is not hard to see where your delightful sense of humor comes from. thank you for this wonderful snapshot of these talented photographers (pun intended

i humbly carry my little point and shoot around to encase some of those moments…in our house, i am the writer and bill the photographer, however, we both have a tendency to play in the other’s realm occasionally!

it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.

I love the Siskind quote. It’s the reason that we take digital photos but still practice the discipline of printing out favorites and putting them in old fashion scrapbooks; there’s something so comforting and fun about viewing those photos “in a book” whenever the mood takes you there……I’m probably not as concerned about acid free paper and all of that stuff, but….

And I mentioned to someone this a.m. that H3 Images are like walking a labryinth when they are in the slide show mode – beautiful!

Barbara, “staircase humour”, I love that, how apt. And yes it does sound better in French or German.

“It’s the sort of response most of us would dream up after the event and wish we’d thought of quickly enough.”
Your father had a quit wit. There’s a name for that sort of delayed response wit most of us have, at least in French and German. In French it is called l’esprit d’escalier and in German Treppenhauswitze and both translate the same — staircase humour, i.e. what we think of saying on our way out. I don’t know of a similar expression in English.

Thanks Christine, yeah, he was a good-looking guy, my Dad!
Elaine, glad to be able to introduce you to these new blogs. Melissa is one of the best photographers of children I’ve found. And is incredibly creative in other ways as well. Thank you so much for the pointer to Shutter Sisters, you’re absolutely right, I love it.

Yes, what a dapper and dashing gentleman. I loved this story Tess.

I was already familiar with the photographic talents of Christine, kerrdelune and Bill but Melissa and HeyJules are new to me. Thank you for highlighting their beautiful work. More inspiration and more blogs for the blogroll!

Love the quote. It sums up why I take my amateur photos with my humble but reliable Canon point-and-shoot. A way of seeking and preserving truth and beauty, isn’t it.

Have you checked out the new Shutter Sisters website yet? I think you’d like it.

Another great roundup as usual, honored to be a part of this post too with such good company. And I am thrilled to get to see photos of you and your mom yesterday and now your dad today. Whata handsome window cleaner he was!
