december evenings: show and tell...and post scripts of pavarotti
i have been blogularly absent since returning to work on monday because (surprise of all surprises) i have been somewhat busy at work.
though it's annoying, it's highly welcome.
though it's meaningless work, it brings me use and productivity.
how can this be?
welcome to being freaking me (not that it's worse than being any one else - pet peeve #492: i hate it when people imply that about themselves...like no one has it as bad as they do or any kind of shameless ploys for pity. it lacks compassion and perspective), but i seem to exist in an incessant amount of contradiction, hypocrisy, and paradox.
but back to the matter at hand.
my to do list has been haunted for an entire week now by the appropriate ending to the December Evenings project. though i still wait for my 2009 calendar to arrive, i realize we are already deeply entrenched into the first week or so of January, and I must pay my respects to the project that kept my creative juices flowing and my humbugary spirits from bathing in the spiked-nogg.
internet, i would like to introduce you to the talented group of people i now call my friends (some i already did, some i now do). seriously. look how talented and beautiful they are.
thank you, fellow photographers, artist, friends, humans.
here are my favorites from each individual...appearing in no particular order:

I am really thankful to have this caliber of work and communal participation. Thank you for encouraging my own work by jumping on board with my projects.
Who will start the next one in a few months?
I really do know some inspiring folk.

Thanks again, Candace. That was so good in so many ways.
duchess - what a beautiful tribute and recapitulation of not just the photos themselves, but your special connection to each person and the spirit of collaboration and comradeship woven throughout this entire project. we only followed your gracious and accepting lead, kindest of curators.
I really could go on about every single one of these photos, exclaiming why I love them and what moved me, but I will let it rest with only this: This was a beautiful project, and even though I had to drop away a bit at the end, I am always grateful for daily internet sharing with friends near and far. It feels like such community, such an easy, flowing web of artists and eyes who hunger for more.
So thank you my lovely.
I'll be looking forward to the next.
I loved Shot in the Dark.
I wish I would have been more consistent with my submissions!
Your final selections are marvelous!
Thanks for setting the entire thing up Whit.
Smooooooooch.
MMe, I really loved this photo challenge; even though (like Plume) I wish I'd submitted more. I love that everyone's nightimes are different; different weather, different scenes, and we become different people. Rare glimpses into so many beautiful, fascinating lives - which of course includes your own.
