probably one of the best times i've had in a long time. i don't think i've met such genuinely nice, friendly, funny people in a long time :D moti and penny are dear internet friends i've known for a long time, wonderful photographers both of them, too! penny has recently won a major award, and has a show featuring fifty of her works coming up in a few month's time in europe. moti makes some of my favorite images come to life!

it was such a pleasure to meet them both.

enjoy (meeting internet friends) photography,
Andy

    You did the tilt again, the happy one. Made them smile.

    You say "hi" to my people, I will say "hi" to yours.

    But I did want you to know that I noticed the tilt.

    Oh, good lord, I couldn't look at anymore, first Penny's distinct favorite style, love that style (kind of flat, design, but images), the the wonderful sunflowers from Moti. When I came to the dog lying on the hand, eaten by envy and admiration, I came back to "dgrin", to visit them another day. Beautiful photograhy.


    Hi, Moti, Hi Penelope!

    You all come see me and tell me how to "see" like that.

    Andy's a terrific guy !
    Hi everyone.
    It was great to meet Andy at last after so long. He's a terrific guy and really made us feel welcome here in NYC. Filled us full of coffee and gave us some great tips on where to shoot in the rain without getting wet. Yes it's raining , non-stop, you guys in New York really know how to do rain!

    I think it's wonderful that wherever we go in the world we meet up with internet friends, so cool!

    We are off to Providence Rhode Island today and I'm really excited as although Moti has travelled extensively in the USA, its only my second visit and the first time I've been outside New York.

    Love to everyone and thankyou for your comments

    Well no. But... I've been around long enough to see you spoil your wife with lovely gifts for all occasions. The idea is tempting.

    I'm just looking for a good photographer to shoot our wedding.

    I don't know where to start!

    And good photographer is a synonym for Andy Willams :)

    Hi everybody.

    Just got back home from our US adventure and trying to settle down and to get rid of the jetlag. The trip was wonderful. Lots of work, lots of fun, lots of rain and plenty of great food (its all about...) but the highlight of NY was meeting with Andy. Pity the weather was so aweful so we couldn't even go shooting together. Hope next time.

    It was great meeting you Andy and big thanks for your hospitality, your help and the good advises.
    BTW, we couldn't get a table at Wolfgang's so we ended at Bobby Van instead. Not quite Peter Luger but not too far either. However, the real treat was the week after, up in Maine where we had the lobster of our life... Photos will folow.

    Thank you everybody for your lovely comments and Hag Sameah Michal

    Cheers
    Moti
