Thank you for the kind comment regarding my "Lookiong out from Pier 21", Matjaz. I'm
glad you liked it. I took
about three shots out that window, but only one from that angle with the person
looking out (I have no idea who she
was; she was just there). The serendipitous passing of the boat added a bit of
"harbour atmosphere", but I had to
wait for the boat to be in just the right position (hoping the lady wouldn't move)
before I snapped. Of the several
shots that I took, I liked that one the most.
I've been lurking @ PDML for about six months now, so I guess that it's about time I
should start to contribute
something (for whatever that's worth). My recent purchase of a scanner now makes it
possible to send in the odd
submission to PUG.
I must agree with other contributors, who have stated that this month's crop at PUG
was excellent (I'm not
commenting on my own); certainly the best I've seen since I started viewing regularly
about 6 months ago. I'm
pleased that mine was included in such a worthy group of photos.
regards,
frank theriault,
