I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I was fortunate enough to have the last week off work. And it's been great.
I just wanted to update you all on the Best of 2004 photoblogs. I have currently received almost 120 submissions. And I must admit I am in awe of all the wonderful images you folks have sent in so far. I'm currently separting everything into months determined by posting dates. And will be posting everything up in the coming days.
I really hoped to have this up already, but I promise you it will be worth the wait.
If you haven't submitted yours it's not too late.
The premise is to showcase what you feel is your Best work of the year. This could be determined by personal favorites or simply the photo the recieved the most comments on your photoblog. This is not a competition and I hope in the process you will find some new and amazing photoblogs that you have never visited before.
Here is the details
1) It must be a photo that was taken this calendar year and posted this calendar year on your blog.
2) Choosing your "Best photo" is totally your choice, whether it be a personal favorite or a photo that recieved the most comments on your site over the year.
3) Only one submission per person.
I will need the following information for your submission.
a) your photo. Please no larger than 700 pixels in width.
b) a brief description of why you choose this photo.
c) the name of your site
d) The date your originally posted this image as well as the permalink to that post.
All submissions can be sent to photojunkie@gmail.com with the subject line "Best of 2004"
Lastly I'd like to thank each and everyone of you for making this such a wonderful online community. I have learned so much from you all over the past year. I'd also like to thank Brandon for his continued work on photoblogs.org, it's a tremendous undertaking.
I'd like to wish you all a Happy New Year. Play safe tonight and keep warm. Happy clicking in 2005.
All the best

Thank you, Rannie. This seems like a very large undertaking and I'm thankful to you for doing it.

This is going to be great. We often hear which photos of ours others like the best, but hearing what the photographer thinks is his/her own best work is very telling. Thanks for this opportunity Rannie.

You should really ask for volunteers to help with this if you deside to do it again next year. I can't wait to see it. I would be glad to offer some time sorting through everything next time. Someone should make a small button so we can link to the gallery from our blogs when it's done.

Wow. I spell like a first grader when I don't look up.

What ever became of this project? I submitted a photo close to a year ago and haven't heard anything. Did it get taken down?
