Hi Anna, thanks for the invite. It looks like it was an amazing carnival, which all the people enjoyed. So colourful, they must have spent alot of time getting ready for it. I will try to get some good photos of our up helly-aa. I have some already, but most of them were taken by a photographer who gave me permission to use them in webshots. I only had a 2.1mp 3xzoom camera then, but now I have a 4mp with 10xzoom. Not the best, but good enough for me, lol. All the best, George

I felt like I was watching it live. You did ONE fantastic job also on this one. Just like your others. I loved the picture for your friend's birthday. That was spellbinding. I must have stared at it for at least 5 minutes--arguing with myself if there was a way to download it. My conscience won.. Thanks for the invitation to visit you again.

Het Rio aan de Rijn is trouwens een ander zomercarnaval nl. in Arnhem deze heeft vorige week plaats gevonden maar is ook wel wat kleinschaliger maar met wel een aantal dezelfde deelnemers als in r'dam en zeker niet minder leuk met veel neven activiteiten zoals salsa dans e.d.

Hi Anna! Thanks for dropping by my albums and for your uplifting comments! Power paws was among the new adds after my second visit to the new exhibit on Friday. Such a wonderful place! I just HAD to go back! I have 100 images in there and everything is as I like it, so I most likely will be leaving it alone from now on. :o)b Yep, you're right about the views. Business is REALLY slow. It seems, at least in our little circle, everyone is so busy!!! (some on holiday) So maybe that's it...or maybe the popularity of Webshots is waning. Maybe too many people have had more trouble here than they care to deal with. Sanjay told me last night he did a search on GOOGLE for my name and my gallery on Better Photo came up! We have all been branching out a bit. I am looking forward to seeing your new images from the living statue contest. Gotta go to work...weekend's over. :o( hugs!! barbara

So colourful, vibrant and an unabahed display of joy of life. I know the Caribbean music is very lively and I can imagine the effect when it is combined with dancing. You have done extraordinarily well to capture the spirit of it all. Warm regards, Suresh

Anna! HOW DO YOU DO IT ??? This is simply the most amazing album I have seen on these pages!! You have captured the very heart and soul of this carnival..the colours, the amazing costumes,the expressiones on the faces..INCREDIBLE!! You are the queen of webshots!! No doubt about that!! Thank you very much!! Elin.

Hallo Anna, prima resultaat. Ik ga er van uit dat je het fotograferen even leuk vond als ik. Zelf vind ik het fotograferen van dergelijke objecten prettiger met mijn analoge camera.Die ben ik nog zeker niet geheel ontrouw geworden. Ik heb je uitnodiging voor dit album gemist maar dat kan door mijn computerproblemen zijn gekomen (?). Proficiat Groeten Glenn

Hi, Anna; Thank you for your kind comments on my photos. I'm very happy you visited because it gave me the opportunity to view your work because it's first rate! I only had to see your homepage to see I had a gem in my hands. Thanks! Carmela.

Ciao Anna! what a wonderful news, you and Marjon in Venice ^*^*^!!!! WWWOOOWWWW, I am just anxious to see your photos :-)) !!!! ... and someone told me that from next Wednesday it will be sun all over Italy ! Enjoy Venice, a dreaming place*** Hugs, Clara

huuummmm ... we'll speak about when you come back ;-) !

said clarita137 2004.09.19 at 04:31:25 PDT

Hi Anna, You must be very proud of this album. It is simply the best I have seen of its kind. Any competent photographer could capture the color, but you went beyond that. You captured the action and joy of the moment. Watching these pictures, I could almost hear the music and the noise of the crowd. Great job! Paul in Florida.

Wie ben ik om kritiek te geven. Maar je vroeg me om aan te duiden welke foto's ik niet zou getoond hebben en waarom. Wel het is maar mijn mening: 13 en 20 de afgebeelde personen komen niet erg happy over, 17 en 21 te veel storende achtergrond, 50 hoort niet in de reeks alhoewel deze foto zeker op het zelfde moment genomen werd, 55 want 54 is veel beter. Maar ik herhaal, al de andere zijn om van te genieten. Groetjes Alex

Hi anna!Just a quick and warm Hello from an old friend! I love to breeze through your unequivocable albums and wonder how long it will take me to 'grow up' to be like you,ha-ha.Weezie

Hallo Anna heel leuk album. Had daar best bij willen zijn. Ik zou je nog een keer bellen hoe je die adressen in words kreeg maar ben helaas je telefoonnummer kwijt. Zou je zo vriendelijk willen zijn mij dat nog eens door te geven. Mijn e-mailadres is wolfin@home.nl en zeg dan meteen even wanneer ik je het beste kan bellen. Vriendelijke groeten Ria Deventer

I always hear people say "Do you think there is life out in the universe?" I say to them there are so many different people here on earth. Look around you! And so I come here on Webshots and I love to see all the people of the world. Thanks for giving me a chance to see some of the beautiful people. I love to see the cultures. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks a lot for the message. You have some great albums. I will try and add some more photos as I get used to the CP8700. How do you upload so many - took me ages to put up a few images? Have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year rda

Anna - I value your opinion highly and would greatly appreciate your opinion of the album I just posted in Webshots. We have just endured the most scary 24 hours of our lives almost and I tried to capture the drama as it unfolded. Does it tell the story? Regards Peter in Western Australia

Hi Anna I was thrilled that you took the time to visit me again. I am hoping your question is pertaining to giving me some professional advice. So in answer to your question... All though the sky albums i think are beautiful It really doesn't take to much photo skills for that. I guess my "Seasons&quo t; album is my favorite. I actually put some thought, and a bit fussy about the choice of photos i put in that album. I was shocked to see it featured as well as the second featured one. Both albums I had just started and just had a few pictures in them. So felt I had to continue trying to make them better.. I have a thing about presentation and I think I did a pretty good job of that in the Seasons album. My adult children call me a old Fuddy Duddy because I am a bit fussy about how things look...HA! Thanks again Anna. Hugs, Laura

said hereslaura 2005.02.02 at 12:27:05 PST

P.S. This album is amazing! Makes me want to get out my oils. People and animals are something I mostly painted long ago. Back when my hands where in good shape. Laura

said hereslaura 2005.02.02 at 12:34:29 PST

RE-READ YOUR EMAIL NOTICED THE S ON ALBUMS. SO ONE MORE FAVORITE IS "2005- MORE SNOW" WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO LOOK AT THAT ONE AS WELL. DEAR ANNA, I DON'T WANT TO BECOME A PEST....PROMISE THAT'S IT! A FRIEND I HOPE? LAURA :0)

said hereslaura 2005.02.04 at 15:04:28 PST

Hi Anna! Thank you for visiting my Mayan Dancers and for sending a comment! Two of those shots were posers, the rest were taken during the dancing. Personally, I don't care for the staged ones. The young man with the birds is OK, but the other one.....just there to demonstrate the make up. :o)b

said pompeii7 2005.02.07 at 04:35:14 PST

Hello Anna! I was absolutely thrilled that you took the time to visit me again. So I came to visit you too. Let me tell you. You really are good with that camera. This album, "RIO ... IN ... ROTTERDAM" is so colorful that I could not resist to the temptation of downloading some of your photos. All are beautiful. Please keep taking those beautiful pictures and keep sharing. Thank you.

Hallo Anna, I thought I had written a note pertaining to this parade..my husband and I viewed it together and we both enjoyed it immensely!! Although you take mostly flowers, this shows your unrelenting fine choice of photos. The parade came alive and the colours are remarkable as are the close ups of peoples faces. Beautiful people! I hope you make more albums -- both flowers and other delights such as this. I did delete many photos in the "Park" album, you mentioned #46 which is driving me crazy because there is no 46! Anyway thanks for your good input, I wish more people would write in guest books as it is so valuable and encouraging. Have a wonderful week end! Barb

Beste Anna, supberb fotografie en prachtige albums. Ik genoot van vanavond bestedend over een uur met u. Holland is van de dagen veranderd ik daar vóór WW2 en later was.

Hi Anna, thanks for visiting my "Old Jaffa" album and for your kind words in my guest book. This time I invite you to visit my South America albums. In Brazil album you can see some pictures of this year's carnival in Rio and other cities, and compare them to the carnival in Rotterdam... Best wishes, Yair.

Hi Anna, This album is stunning. Your portraits are telling a story about the person in it. Especially the photos of the children are adorable. But we know you are a master photographer. Thanks for the entries in my guest book and my apologies for responding so late. Since the hurricane hit our paradise I cant catch up with my work especially with my mail and my guest book anymore [How do you do that. You must have mor
