Have reviewed the annual several time since I received it, and have come up
with several observations
* Another great job by Mark - your organizational and stylistic abilities
are wonderful - thank you very much for the effort (and the efforts of Doug
Brewer, Scott Loveless, Bill Robb & Miscrere).
As I paged thu the latest edition several things jumped out at me (and my
wife - French)
Doug Brewer is a very good writer - his foreword is priceless, even for a
non photographer - my wife.
While all of the images are very well done I'd like to point out my
reactions to some that really caught my eye:
'My nephew, Akira' by Christine Aguila - absolutely the best in the book,
IMO, the subject and execution are stunning - you should be very proud of it
Christine.
Notables & why I thought so -
'Eighteen Below on the Salmon River by Thomas Cakalic - subject and
composition
'Winter's Grace' by Jack Davis - simplicity, subject and execution
'The Red Door' by Ann Sanfedele - symmetry and composition
'From Across +3' by Fernando Terrazzino - subject, composition and lighting
'Looking for Another Wave' by Brian Walters - subject and composition
'Jetty Dreams' by Bruce Walker - composition, subject and light
'Turbofan' by Bong Manayon - subject and composition
'Ruby Red' by Brendan MacRae - subject and composition
'Third Snow this Winter's by Ann Sanfedele - execution, subject and
composition
'The Monument' by Buylent Celasun - Subject and execution
'Love' by Tanya Love - subject and execution
'Lead Sled' by Paul Stenquist - what can I say I'm a sucker for a good car
image, especially a Ford
'Winter Beach' by Carl Gjersem - composition and lighting
I agree with Bill Robb, the quotation list seemed a little forced as if
people were purposefully wording things to be included in the annual list.
If there was one thing I'd change in the 2011 Annual it would be the size of
the font - I find it a little hard to read with my old eyes!
YMMV
