Hello & Shalom My Dear Friend:-).. I have been visiting & studying your work in this album for some time now, as many of these images Ted are Bloody Brillent! A term I only use when I am totaly lost for mere words to discribe sincerely Top Class Fine Art photograhy! Which many of these are & that is before your images have had slight proffesional ajustments, just in small leveling, ever so slight cropping & tweaking! Images,9,10, & 3 on this page alone Ted I would slap a copyright on fast, then the rest. Why? because Companies such as Super Stock & others should be knocking your door down offering to Publish them Worldwide. ------------------------- --- Thank you So much for taking the time to write in My Guest books & for your message. Its always such a joy to hear from you. Take Care Dear Ted & God Bless & Prosper you & Your Lovely Faimly, Everfaithfully Bella.

Many thanks to you for sharing this beautiful place with me!!!When I was a girl my mother had done a painting of this place with a Southern Belle in the foreground it hung in my home and I used to stare at it all the time...this took me back to that feeling of magic!!!Many thanks to you also for all your kindness and lovely words on my featured album today!Beth in South Florida

Hi Ted, thanks for stopping by and leaving such kind words in my GB. Thoroughly enjoyed my journey around this plantation, the house looks truly magnificent. You must have had a lovely time walking around the mansion and grounds capturing such great images. Thanks for sharing your talents. Hope to come and see your work again soon. Best wishes from Scotland, Craig.

The one thing I like about being featured, you get to go to other peoples sites, where you probably never go. These pictures are just beautiful. I was stationed in LA for 4 years. I wish I had this favorite pass time back then. I probably would have made more of an effor to get out. Thanks for sharing. Cat

I am so thankful for the existance of WEBSHOTS. If it was not for WS I would have missed a lot regarding amateur photography. The sharing of each other's albums gives us a deeper insight into the beholder's eyes and soul. The photographs are wonderfully majestic and thank you very much for sharing them with us. All the best and God bless you. Paul. Ontario. Canada.

said paulchaperon100 2006.10.03 at 23:29:47 PDT

Hi Ted thanks so much for the visit and congrats, yep it is certainly something that must be done, compared with old Webshots the views are very low, but the GB's are still high, So lots of answers to them all.Serve me right I suppose for breaking the rules, lol. It is worth trying to get the views back up to where they were. Had a quick look at this lovely album of yours but will have to come back and do it properly, thanks again it is very much appreciated, take care Ken

said hircock100 2006.10.03 at 09:21:20 PDT

Hey Cajun Buddy!!! So very nice to see your "face" this morning !!- thanks for the sweet message. This was more of a working vacation (helped in-laws move) but of course the camera got a workout also. But it'll be a while before I post an album, this is all still too messy for me. And my return to w/s was rather depressing from the standpoint of friends leaving, views down to 1/3 and just this almost "graveyard silence". I wish I could be half as "pumped" as you sound...maybe I just need a kick-in-the-ol-butt???? Feel free to kick away, LOL. Signed: in limbo in houston....

Sorry it took me so long to get out here to see this little cottage, Ted. It's just been crazy. But I did finally get out here. What a beautiful album, one of your best yet. What a lifestyle this once was. An era gone by, for certain. Some of it was bad, and some of it is to be looked upon in awe. You did a great job on these photos and brought us all something to cherish. Thanks. Alan

Good Morning Ted. I did not check my WS at all yesterday afternoon to see who was the new Honoree for the FMOW! So, what a wonderful surprise to see you here this morning! Congratulations again (I left a message on the homepage) on this well deserved honor! I know you are going to be swamped with emails over this next week! Your work is awesome my friend.

Oh my goodness! Where to start to describe my enjoyment of this amazing album!! You are my "hero," Ted. Your photography is always superb. If only I could download your brain to mine. I wanted to tell you that I was watching PBS the other night. There was a program on about a Civl War steamboat named the S.S. Tennessee. It was caught in a hurricane in 1865 (if I remember correctly), and it sank. When it was located several years ago, many items of enormous value were discovered such as gold pieces and freshly struck silver coins that were never circulated. Because the ship was trying to get to New Orleans, some of those items eventually ended up at Madewood Plantation! I couldn't believe my ears because I had just enjoyed your album about that mansion the same day. I will remember more and tell you in an email. I also want to get some tips from you about my camera. You truly are my mentor whether you realize it or not. You inspire me! I have so much to learn and so many techniques to improve. Thanks for the inspiration, my friend. Tell Connie "Hi" for me. Huge hugs from Tennessee! - Carole

said bessmom 2006.08.25 at 11:03:25 PDT

Ted, This is a wonderful album. Appreciate the captions. It is amazing that Katrina did not blow the oaks down. I guess they have deeper roots than the water oaks in FL. I did a little research on the web about this lovely place. Interesting. Lovely photos. Carol <><

said albertsville 2006.08.25 at 10:22:58 PDT

Hi Ted: What a wonderful new album you have of the old plantation. I would love to visit there someday! Your photos make it seem like I already have... Thanks for taking the time to visit and comment on my "Downeast Maine" album. I really appreciate the encouragement! All the best, Ken - Maryland

said mrtoastie 2006.08.25 at 07:24:53 PDT

Thank you Ted! :-) Don't worry about filling up my emails. It's never too late for that! :-) Yes, things are going back to normal. I'm a bit busy - but not like you must be after being featured! :-) Good news in case you don't know: Suresh' album has been restored! I think you and Ken are right about the timing issue. Anne says that it's not related to the beta. Anyway, I'm sure we will get pass it. Take Care My Friend and Best Wishes! Orly

Hello Ted! I am so very touched and grateful that you have spent so much time on my Peru album and taken the effort to comment on most of the pictures. I appreciate your time and effort. I am very honoured to have been featured on the same day as you. Thank you, my friend, for all the warm comments. I wanted to let you know I deeply appreciate it. I found to my distress today that 41 pictures of my Peru album have disappeared in webshots. I hope it is only a software glitch. I have written to them. Hope it is not a permanent loss. Best wishes and regards, Suresh

Again Congratulations for your feature, and I'm sure all your albums will enjoy heavy traffic :-) I hope your inbox can handle it :-). Take care and GB, Orly

said orlyyahalom 2006.08.22 at 04:55:24 PDT

What an oustanding addition to your already marvelous examination of Southern antebellum culture. The photographs are tremendous, the glimpse of history romantic, the effect upon the viewer somnolent. I feel relaxed from this trip to the plantation. You have recorded a way of life, expressed in architecture and impeccable furnishings, a true view of the way things were for a select few in a society of yesteryear. How well insulated they were from the winds of change building around them until it was too late to outrun the storm. Thanks so much for this view of the past. Fred in East Tennessee USA

said assistantchief84 2006.08.22 at 03:26:00 PDT

Hello Ted! Wow! What an album. I enjoyed both of your ablums with the southern plantation homes. Excellent images also. I got so caught up in wanting to see the next image, that I would forget to leave a message under that photo! Silly me! It must be really nice to have all this history in your "backyard!" In the late 1960's I lived in Florida just north of Fort Walton Beach. They don't have the same type of history, but the southern homes were nice. Thank you for taking us along on this wonderful journey. I really enjoyed myself. Best wishes and God Bless, Lynn

said 1seahag 2006.08.21 at 17:22:50 PDT

Hi Ted, another wonderful album of an other plantation. I ask myself how many plantations like those are there in Louisiana. For sure there were a lot, but how many exist still in their full glory. Those places are like out of an old movie and for sure it is not an easy task to keep them untouched from modern changes. In your albums you managed to show them each one in a special light, showing some of the special personality of each place. I love this one more than the others - - - - because of the oaks of course! - Galit

said 854847 2006.08.21 at 13:26:50 PDT

Ted another great album. What a grand old mansion this is. The gardens as so well maintained and the old trees and flowers are beautiful and indeed impressive. I commented on my favourites. I enjoyed the tour and it must have taken you a while... regards poppy

said poppy1812 2006.08.21 at 07:21:40 PDT

Hi Ted, thanks for the invitation! I think this album shows a definite improvement, I liked the interiors (did you use the flash?), the flowers, and the exterior shots at the end with detail in the sky :o) To give the album a bit of more "punch", I would remove some shots, especially at the beginning, where there are some repetitions of the tree boulevard (which is a delight nonetheless). That's a somewhat painful process, and a task that takes long time (the critter album is the result of such filtering, I originally took some 100s of pics and ended up with 27 I was really happy with), but I'm sure people appreciates the results :o) Ciao! Roberto

Good evening from Yorkshire Ted. This album is incredible.....the house is out of this world,and the oaks, well they are just beautiful. Thankyou so much for letting me know about this superb album, I'm sitting here sipping a beer and have thoroughly enjoyed my visit. I could have commented on each and every photo, but my computer seems to have gone into slow motion mode. I'm sure when I come back again I will post some comments on individual pictures, as well as look at another great album. Kindest regards, Andy.

Oh ja, beautiful morning! I don't know what impressed me more- this grand ol'piece of southern history or the incredible oaks but I guess it is the combination that makes it a one of a kind! The ambiance of the whole property, just makes it my favourite. Thanks for leading me on this wonderful tour filled with historical facts and awesome unforgettable images (and in a few days I'll come back to check for hidden ghosts??)Thanks Ted for the invite, I know this is the highlight of my day today.

Good Morning Ted, What an exceptional album! I always get lost when I visit one of your albums. I have been so busy being with my sweet sister-in-law who has been in hospital for over two weeks with some serious issues. It was a wonderful break for me to stop and pause here before I leave again today. Ted, you have such a talent and I want to thank you for sharing that talent with us all. You will not ever find any criticism, constructive or otherwise from me my friend I think your work is brilliant and only to be savoured and enjoyed! Have a beautiful day and thnks you for the refreshing pause. Hugs Leslie

said rainingviolets 2006.08.19 at 06:39:46 PDT

Hello Ted! This is breathtakingly beautiful! As much as the mansion is a well appointed one, the setting is simply magnificent. The oak trees lend it an unmistakable regal air. The oak avenue focusses your eye on the mansion, leads you to it and lets your eye rest on the classic style of the verandah and the facade! Loved the interior. It is an understated elegance. No brashness, no unnecessary opulence. Considering the age, it is minimalistic. Love interiors like this. The outlying gardens truly are amazing and offer a great setting for the mansion. You have done ample justice to this great masterpiece. I congratulate you. With admiration and regards, Suresh from India
