Dear Laurie, I would like to invite you to visit a special new album of surf and sunsets that I created to say thank you to all my friends for helping me reach the ONE MILLION views milestone. The album THE INCREDIBLE JOURNEY is a nostalgic journey over the last 14 months but with all new photos. I have spent days making this album, which includes four very special sunset collages that I hope you will want to download for your screensaver. There is also a new lighthouse collage. Thanks so much for your role in helping me achieve such an unbelievable milestone! You are the greatest! And I hope you like the album. ~Randy http://travel.webshots.com/album/562133810yDFqGq?vhost=travel

Greetings from the Oregon coast, Laurie, my high flying friend :-) My APPECIATION album was getting so large that I divided it into two albums. The photo dedicated to you (remember STILLNESS?) is now in the album APPECIATION PART II. You may wish to bookmark the new location. Thanks so much for your friendship! I appreciate it very much! ~Randy http://travel.webshots.com/photo/2383038770051354762AtXCBz?vhost=travel

I want to say thank you to all of my friends for making me feel so honored from having 5 photos featured today: Travel-Oregon, Travel-Michigan, Travel-Alaska, Outdoors-Scenery and Nature, and Outdoors-Sunsets. It is so rewarding to see that people enjoy the beauty and splendor of nature that I have had the opportunity to capture with my camera. Thanks so much for visiting my photos and for all the encouraging comments made! I appreciate it very very much! I wish you and your loved ones a sincere Happy Holidays! ~Randy

Hi Laurie. I had to make myself stop pouring through your beautiful albums so that I could write you to tell you how much I admire your work and go to bed. There were so many I felt like commenting on. Not only do I admire your eye for capturing people and places, but I am also a Minnesota native, so your albums are of extra value to me. Also I am of Irish and Ojibwe decent, so I really appreciate the cultural photos you have taken. Thank you for sharing your work with us!

Dear Laurie. I just returned from a trip to Holland, Michigan where I was born and raised. And to the beach where I spent so very much time when I was growing up. To the sandy shores next to the lighthouse and pier that became my whole world during those endless summers of youthful bliss. I also devoted a great deal of time and effort to creating an album of these places during my trip. Places that stirred the memories and emotions that are such a big part of my past. So I would be honored if I could share these 31 images with you. You'll see the picturesque and famous lighthouse, scenic Lake Michigan, the lovely beach, elegant sailboats, luxury yachts, and an unbelievable Lake Michigan sunset, along with some history, personal thoughts, poetry, and the lyrics from a favorite song. I hope you can find time to visit this album and that you enjoy the images if you do! The name of the album is HOLLAND HARBOR. Thanks so very much! ~Randy http://travel.webshots.com/album/560899023JtWzvn?vhost=travel

Hi Laurie! I had an experience recently that was one of those once in a lifetime events that a person never, ever forgets. I rank it right up there with soloing in a little Cessna in the 80s, scuba diving Palancar Reef in Cozumel, and taking an ultra light ride in Cabo. I would like to share this experience with you, so I have documented it in a new album titled WHALES AHOY! I think you will enjoy it! And I hope that through this album I can somehow share a small portion of the profound excitement that I experienced! Thanks! -Randy

The "challenge" is where Webshots selects a topic, and then everyone submits photos relating to that topic. Last week was "Night Shots", the week before was "Red, White, and Blue". This week is "Sunsets/Sunrises" . Entries can be made starting tomorrow. The winner of the Challenge has their photo featured as the Photo-of-the-Day (POTD). The "Challenge" is accessed from the Webshots home page and to the right of the POTD, usually by click near the heading of "Blog", but that doesn't seem consistent. You should be able to find it easily, though, if you check the right-upper side of the screen on the homepage and start clicking there. If it doesn't come up on the first screen, look for "Challenge" on the the right side of the screen that does come up, and click on it there. Photos are submitted under the "Comments" section below where Webshots describes the challenge, by pasting the link to the photo that you want to enter, into the body of the comment section. You'll be able to see how everyone else does it once you get there. The new entries/new comments section where you paste your entry link is at the very bottom under the last of the entries. They've been having pretty high participation levels... 400+ entries per challenge. And lots of people are checking out the entries. So having an entry increases your exposure. You don't need to have a special album for the challenges and there are no time requirements (it can be an old photo, except for on the "weekend challenges"). Any photo that meets the basic requirements that they list along with the challenge description, is eligible (at least 800x600, no vertical photos, etc). Each person can enter 3 photos. Hope that helps! Let me know if I lost you somewhere. -Randy

Greetings from the southern Oregon coast, Laurie! I have a tradition of dedicating a photo to each of my official Webshot friends, which I'm happy to say now includes you. "Your photo" is photo number 110 in my APPRECIATION! album, towards the very end. I hope you enjoy the photo. Thanks so very much for being my friend! Have a super duper day! -Randy

said rjscholten 2007.07.17 at 13:24:56 PDT

Thanks so much for the friends invite. You have an incredible collection of albums that look fascinating. I really look forward to seeing them! Right now I'm buried in emails from winning the RWB Challenge, but I Shall Return! Thanks again. A Happy Saturday to you! -Randy

Hi Laurie, Thanks for visiting my homepage. The Baguio City Album captured indigenous mountain tribe folks in their colorful costumes.
