1. That last one is great.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

6. yeah, i am partial to the rejection

pic... it was not staged

[alfredo]

7. That was a real moment. He think he was getting wine thrown on him?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

10. yeah, i think he made a suggestion

that was beyond the, uhm, relationship status she thought they were having

[alfredo]

16. The song "Making Love Alone" comes to mind.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

17. yeah, I don't think I have seen her

since then

[alfredo]

18. Oh oh

[Mira]

21. Late January -

don't have early ones on this laptop

[alfredo]

22. It's a beauty

[Mira]

24. Thank you! I had not considered looking at the Inauguration

pictures to find an entry for "my favorite" but after WJMS called on Jan shots, I ran across them.
I liked that one - it was one of my favorites on that exciting and icy day.

[alfredo]

25. There should be some incredible faces in the crowd.

[Mira]

26. Take a look

27. The girl with the flag and the hood hiding her face is very good. Made me

think that she is not a fair weather patriot.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

[JeffR]

2. Good idea.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

5. does not matter if it was here or not

I don't think I posted 2/3 of the ones I put up

[Tindalos]

4. Happy New Year!

Not sure which is the last photo of 2008. Maybe this one (Dec 30):






The first one of 2009 is a rather unexciting photo of the Hotel Vancouver (Jan1):






Things improved slightly as the day went on:

8. Yeah, I'm down!

My last shot of 2008 was taken on December 28th. It was taken on the grounds of a very posh private school outside Denver. It's part of a wall that leads up to the front entry.



My first shot of 2009 was taken on January 12, after a small snowfall. It's a photo of Evans Chapel on the University of Denver campus. I wish I remembered this photo when we had that historic register contest, I like it much better than the shots I took for that contest!



Happy New Year to all my fellow Photo Groupies! :toast:

9. This sounds like fun.

It might take me a couple days. :)

[Mira]

11. Walker's Grocery is one of my favorites. You did that one

in black and white and from another angle as well. I had a preference that was very distinct and now I can't remember which it was.
Heck, I learned a lot since, my viewpoint might have changed.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

15. yeah, had the f4 with me that day

here that one is

[Mira]

19. Thanks, only when it comes to your photos

is my memory not like a sieve.:)

Now I can't decide. They are both perfect.
It's not that often we see hand lettered old signs. The computer changed it all in 1984.

Where is that place? I might want to go haunt it.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

20. somewhere on the catawba

and burke county line on old rt 10... that is the best I can remember

[HarveyDarkey]

12. One of the last, & one of the first

One of my nephews at the family x-mas get together



Startled deer at the cemetery

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. those deer look like they are up

to no good, don't they?

[HarveyDarkey]

14. They were perturbed

I woke them up.

28. The last photo of 2008

was this one from the downtown party, 8:14 p.m., December 31, 2008.



The first one of 2009 was game night at Diane Benson's house, January 2, 2009, about 8:15 p.m. This is our friend Vanessa and Tony, who is Diane's ex-husband/best friend/campaign treasurer.
