Best Original Photos, Art and Writing for 2008 is CLOSED - Spotlight Your Photos is OPEN NOW

Tomorrow is the last day of 2008 and the group Best Original Photos,Art and Writing for 2008 will close. Thanks for participating, it's been fun and I'm ready now to go in a different direction.

Last week I sent out invitations to join my new group SPOTLIGHT YOUR PHOTOS.

Photography and art has always been a big part of my life and I want anyone interested in these things to join my group and send me your BEST. I would like to see, creative, interesting and unusual Original Photos and Art.

Be picky and send me just your best. A caption is required and camera info is appreciated. Please don't send me albums.

One or two photos a day would be wonderful - not 20 to 200.

At the end of each week I will select a few of the photos and art submitted to me to be spotlighted for the week and shared with Gather friends.

Although week one is not over, I am spotlighting a few today for you to see what I mean.

The biggest WOW factor came from Deb D  see her photo here

A Creative one by Roy Hilbinger - check this out

I liked Steve T’s black and White -  look at his flowers

Lucky Star’s Foggy River moved me - see it here

I laughed at MJ Apyrs humor and creativity - will it make you smile?

The sadness in Angela M.’s photo and caption touched my heart - take a look.

There were more that I thought were pretty nice. I promised myself I would only post six per week so if you have time and want to look, here are a few more.

Starting in the new year I'll stick to SIX ONLY per week.

I hope this gives you a feel for what I'm looking for and also a glimpse into the challenge of just picking six per week.

Please Remember this group is for ORIGINAL PHOTOS ONLY. If you notice I spotlighted a public domain photo or any internet photo, tell me.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE AND HAPPY GATHERING.
