This is one of the cases where the long lens obstructs context. These young ladies came from shopping in Frankfurt's Goethestraße and had bags from luxury boutiques in their hands. The one in front bossed the other one around and led the way. Their faces speak to this.

Thanks to all of you, who have followed, supported, and worked with me, since I began this little endeavor. From the bottom of my heart, you have my gratitude.

I want to thank each one of you because more than a challenge is a metal barrier that I had. Maybe for many 1000 is a small number, I feel like a million!

In this time I learned that the number of likes, followers or views doesn't indicate how good you are. As long as you feel happy with everything you do, the likes don't matter.

I especially thank my dear Izan, the person who motivated me to start as a blogger. It all started with taking pictures of us in costume, imagining and dreaming. I love you and I owe you everything I know today.

Hug and Kisses to all ♥♥♥

Thank you to each and everyone of you for liking and following my work, your comments and ongoing appreciations means a lot to me. This is a milestone I never expected to reach and I am humbled. I want to thank my partner Steven for being there in good times and bad and being my champion when I needed it most. My journey through SL photography has been made richer by all the amazing people I have met in the last year including creators who have become firm friends.

My RL is currently very distracting so this post is a little late, but I got there in the end!

OMG...Thank you ALL and it is a great honor to be here and enjoy all of your company...thanks for following my journey on FLICKR.

Watch them follow and watch them run but truly...to my followers and all those who have been there to support and encourage me during this whole Photoshop adventure..I give you my thanks for believing in what I do and what I create. It is because of you all that I've kept learning , that I've kept creating and that I still try to climb that photoshop mountain to explore and learn every time again.

I still remember the very first picture that I added on Flickr , the first picture that got the 100 likes , the first banner and so on..

I know I might not always add my pictures so fast then I once did but I'm still here and still working on my little creepy sinister world , , sometimes brighter and more colorful then other times.

As always , and never forget , my special thanks to my sweet dear chum Lost..always there , always encouraging , because of him I've started with making pics. Adore you my dear Mellon.

Okay!! So after that little lecture .. 😉

Well what an incredible sunrise me and my three clients experienced this morning on my one day autumnal Lake District workshop at Windermere.

We were driving en-route to Rydal to shoot the tree when the colours in my minibus wing mirrors lit up with stunning pinks and blues. Without hesitation I decided to park up at Waterhead and walk down towards Holme Crag. It was an inspired choice due to the copious amounts of beautiful little boats that made for great subjects. Here's one such boat that enjoyed being surrounded by the mist that rolled on the surface of the water.

HUGE thanks to Carl, Dave and Dean for their company today. It was a really enjoyable day's photography and a quick hi to Chris Sale, a YouTube vlogger who I bumped into on the shoreline of Rydal mid-morning. It was great to chat with you Chris.

You can follow Chris's YouTube channel here and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to his channel if you like what you see. www.youtube.com/channel/UCaR849-KG86v4UgD52PLT4g

Okay, that's it for today. I will edit another image tomorrow from today's workshop and I shall make a start on my New Zealand blog including plenty of my 'yet to be seen' images. If you would like to be notified of my New Zealand blog ahead of my social media followers, please SUBSCRIBE to my newsletter by clicking on this link.

Thank you all so very much.

When I first embarked on my Flickr journey I took photos as a form of relaxation and never imagined that I would reach the 1000 follower milestone. Your continued support for the Second Life digital art community, whatever your role may be; photographer to model to the few non SL users who have told me they enjoy what I and others from SL create through digital means. You keep me motivated and energized to continue my journey, strive to improve and to see where it takes me. My partner Steven has watched me grow as a creator and puts up with my random guest models or being turned into one himself.

I bribe him with coffee.
