Hopper opens mailbox!



":: your exquisite picture "Third Drama"

Dear Ahmed,

Since you have 2,178 contacts you may not remember that I'mone of them. You're certainly one of mine.

I'm writing to urge you to reconsider an invitation I left 3 months ago for "Third Drama" to be put on display in Amazingly Beautiful World, now also known as the ABWGallery.
I am a moderator for the group and I thought you should know it has undergone a MAJOR overhaul in recent weeks tobecome a very special place for pictures -- a showcase forphenomenal photography, if I may say so myself. Take a lookto see what I mean.

It would be an honor, and a thrill, to have "Third Drama"added to the collection.
We've been getting incredible work from people of yourcalibre. Algo just sent one of his mythical swans as hislatest contribution. Doug Lloyd, the eminent eaglephotographer who confines his postings to a handful ofpools, sent two bald eagles. Ascendingkitty sent a rose tobeat all roses. Dave Curtis sent his gripping MorenoGlacier, and Tut99(Roger) contributed his masterpiece ofHorseshoe Bend.

Impressive contributions are too numerous to recite here. But they include works by Raja Daja, Wintercove, ozoni11, Rainer Fritz, Buck Forester, alonsodr, steililand, gardawind, Lightchaser, alnytenuk, DanielKHC, acampm1, Esprit de sel, Fort Photo, Steve took it, Andrew,smgallery, Hans van de Vorst, G.A.O., Leithwalker, RobinThom, iJohn, PhotoToasty, Bajy, and James Neeley among other exceptional images by many remarkable people.

You'll find my invitation to ABW Gallery at the bottom of Page 2 for the comments on "Third Drama." I'll hold my breath in hopes of seeing it submitted. I couldn't be more sincere. I stand by my comment ~~ that it stands among therarest treasures in all of flickrdom.

If you check my profile you'll see my explanation for having not yet displayed my own work after 25 years ofphotography. What it doesn't say is that over the past year I've spent well over 3,000 hours on Flickr in search ofphenomenal work, posted over 1200 comments with more labor & thought than most, and received 3 dedications from photographers in gratitude for my support. In other words, I'm devoted to Flickr and the spirit of sharing it promotes, especially among its finest practitioners.

Enjoy your weekend (and every moment), with fondestregards,

Michael Brush in Seattle USA Milky Way"
