  • I have viewed all of your albums and I commend you for all the wonderful information you provide with your pictures. It really brings everything to life and I appreciate the time you take to put all that information in. Your photography has great composition and detail. I look forward to more albums. I have shared your pictures with other and have even made jigsaw puzzles for my friend and I on Jigzone.com. Beverly from California.

  • As someone born in NYC, but who, unfortunately, has been out of the country for 36 long years, I'd like to thank you for this extraordinary album. I came across it as a result of today's featured album "Christmas in New York City." This is a wonderful, nostalgic walk through memory lane. Will check out Part 2 ASAP. Hope one day to return to my beloved city. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Miriam Mishory (mimi_@netvision.net.il)

  • I just wanted to thank you for my history lesson of New York City. I lived there from 1980 to 1985 and did not know half of the things I learned from viewing your webpage....especially all of the things about Central Park since I lived across the street from the park, once by Columbus Circle and once off of 5th ave and 60th....just amazing what I have learned today and just wanted to say thanks and I enjoyed it!!!:-)

  • What a wonderful collection of pictures of New York City!! I am from Western Canada and have a six year old son who is obsessed with going to visit your city. Disneyland will have to wait. Our son even has a NY room theme in his bedroom, with the skyline on one whole wall and the Statue of Liberty on another wall from an incredible murilist. Thank you so much for your informative collection, love reading all the information on the pictures.

You took excellent photos but what I most enjoyed, was the time you took to share information and memories with us. I think that makes this album very special. It truly shows the love you have for this city. Well deserved congratulations on being featured today. Have a great day. Dynna in MI.

But I enjoyed all my visits and through your pictures I am the more determined to return. I specially thank you for your interesting guiding texts. At Webshots you get to see al kinds of pictures without any explanation, most of the time not even about the place where they were taken. So keep taking your camera to your work!
