For the past several weeks I have been submitting my "photo of the week" contributions, usually more frequent than once a week, just because I am having fun selecting special photos from my files.

I was wondering what people think of this feature. There were some friendly reactions, but my theory is that most readers enjoy the photos without immediately feeling the need to post a reaction.

This is fine with me, but I thought I would give you all a chance to let me know how great it is what I am doing and how you desperately want me to continue doing it :-)

They're a great feature Ed. Just because we don't post a comment every time saying "Great pic!" or "Another great pic!" or "Yet another great pic!" doesn't mean we're not enjoying them...

Ed-

One of the best features of cS. Your photos either remind us of something we forgot or like this weeks-a perspective we've never seen.

We are lucky you take the time to share them with us.

Thanks,

Tim

Ed,

I agree with Rob (and everyone!)... the more photos, the better!!! Every week I look forward to what the new photo might be, and I get super jazzed when you post "extra" ones. It seems to a lot of people here that your photos add A LOT to our lives, so please keep up your generosity as long as possible! Thanks!!!

That basically describes me Ed. I have always been hesistant of forums to post the generic "cool pic" or "nice shot" posts because they really don't mean anything (I have never thought posts like that really had any feeling behind them). I have followed each of your "photos of the week" and look forward to each one.

Keep them coming Ed!!!

Thanks again to all that have responded. I have heard enough! I'll keep posting them...

I will leave the five or six most recent posts intact, older ones will have the photo removed. I don't want to fill up my PhotoBucket account...

They have all been great. I think we have all seen the same rerun pics in all the books that have come out over the years. Also some of them are nice to see the other side that is not shown to the public.
