The Significance of Photographs
Well, isn't that kind of neat? Downloaded a raft of photographs onto the Flickr site, in various categories. Was contacted by Emma Williams, Managing Editor of Schmap Guides, www.schmap.me/emma.williams several weeks back to inform that with my permission they would consider publishing one of my photographs. And today received notification that my photograph was selected for publishing.
It's a photo taken back in the fall of 2008 when we were meandering through Byward Market, relishing the character of the place, admiring the colours, and just incidentally doing a little shopping of our own there, as is our wont. At that time I took lots of photographs, of the market, and of the surrounding area since it is architecturally and historically significant. Also took photos of the sculpture 'Maman' outside the National Gallery.
Nice, very nice that one of my photographs was selected. Truth is, I enjoy all of the photographs, taking them, looking at them, using them as memory-assists for the times we've enjoyed ourselves, and there have been many of those. Photographs of our hiking excursions, along with those of our son who alpine camps in British Columbia. And photographs of wildflowers, and of the flowers, trees and shrubs in our gardens.
Thought I'd copy the web site photo and graphics just to have it too, as a memory-guide.

Located between Sussex Drive and Dalhousie Street, the Byward Market is a re-created farmer's market that will bring any visitor back to the 19th century. Antiquers can spend hours searching through Afghan Antiques & Jewellery, and Justina McCaffrey Haute Couture is just one of the many high-class fashion outlets. In addition to the excellent shopping, the Market is home to many galleries. Dining is the hardest decision, with dozens of bistros and cafes, including the elegant Courtyard Restaurant, to choose from.Labels: Environment, Peculiarities, Whoops
