This is a daily photo blog and I take it seriously. I can't remember the last time I missed a post but it happened yesterday. After returning from Costa Rica and going back to work I've felt like the coyote in the road runner cartoons - you know, with the 1 ton weight dropped on him. Home from work pretty late yesterday. Carolyn was out and left me some dinner. I pushed it around my plate on the kitchen counter while watching the left wing rant channel on cable (about all I look at when it's not baseball season), then picked up the kitchen. (She cooks, I clean.) After that, up to my desk to write a post. Carolyn found me around midnight fast asleep in my chair, chin drooping down on my chest.
What a way to mark the end of a cycle. St. Louis Daily Photo first waived at the world on March 22, 2007. This is its 1,825th post. Usually I do some silly Photoshop paste-up for these occasions but there's no way I had time this week. So, instead, I'm using a photo about the delights of City Daily Photo. This is a picture of me and my wife of almost 38 years, my best friend, taken last August in Menton, France. It was shot by our dear friend and CDP colleague Jilly Bennett of Menton and Monte Carlo DP. We've met and enjoyed the company of CDPers from the Riviera to Shanghai. It's been a wonderful experience and well worth the work.
Like the Energizer bunny, this will keep going and going, if the Force is with me. Sure hope that CDP itself hasn't gone belly up; it's such a great way to meet good photographers and delightful people (you haven't lived until you've had the full tour of Evry personally conducted by Olivier). I'm hopeful - there is still a (non-working) link to the portal on Eric Tenin's Paris DP, and he ought to know.
The work crush lightens after today. Back to commenting on all your wonderful blogs and new STL material this weekend. Thanks for five years of your comments and encouragement, your art and your friendship.
