In a comment, on a different page, Irene Schmidt wrote this about this blog:

Great blog! A trove of compelling, well-chosen images from very different photographers, and a wealth of information about photographers. Thank you for the invitation and for your passionate gaze (your gaze on other people’s gaze); it’s contagious.

Cheers,
Irene

Heart warming words, thank you Irene!
The symbiosis between the photographers, such as Irene, and yours truly is what makes this blog what it is. So I, again, would like to take this opportunity to thank all the photographers who have accepted to be shown here.
