I am going to start a "Member of the Week" post. Every Sunday or Monday I will post the name of a member or user and a link to their profile. This will be our Member of the Week. Go have a look at their profile page and/or portfolio. Enjoy their photos, leave some comments and most of all post one or two of their photos in this thread so others can see them and enjoy them. If you like you can also write a little blurb saying why you enjoy this member's photos.

This week's Member of the Week is Tony Thornton, TonyT. And here are a couple of his photos.

I was happy to see this choice as I have enjoyed Tony's work. He's a fellow Pennsylvanian, and a darn fine photographer. I have *always* liked this shot:


And I really thought this entry in Procrastination was going to place MUCH higher than it did:


Of course, I'm a big fan of old abandoned houses and this one is just exquisite IMO.

MAN! I have to bump this up, TonyT is a very good pal of mine and a really good photographer too. I will list some of my favs from his gallery. I know a lot of his better work is not here because he is a portrait photographer and his best work is on his home page.



Hey Tony... You gonna be answering the million personal questions too?
If so, I will have a few to ask.

1.How do you like your eggs Fried or Boiled?
Neither. Scrambled with ketchup.

2.do you say "hold the pickle" when you order a bigmac?
No. I like Burger King. You only need to say "no pickle."

3.Tell me 3 things about windows Vista that make it so good
a. Popups are back, except this time instead of just in Internet Exporer, it happens everywere, and it's not advertising, it Microsoft messages.
b. Transparency. Everything on computer will one day be transparent.
c. You get to finish your cup of coffe when you turn your computer on. In XP, I was almost done but I didn't have time to rinse out the cup.

4.Favorite colour?
I don't understand the question. I don't know what a colour is, but if I assume you mean color, then it's "Red. No...blue...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

5.If you could live anywhere else apart from the USA where would it be?
Jupiter. I hear the electrical storms are breathtaking.

6.Do you have any feelings about Gay men?
If you are trying to tell me something, then a public forum isn't the place to do it.

7.Could you eat raw fish or even raw beef?
No. I have a fear of bacteria.

8.Why do you think it is wrong to put sweetcorn on Pizza?
It's a grain. You wouldn;t put another grain on a pizza. If you made the crust using corn meal then you would have a taco.

9.your preference, bath or shower and why?
Shower. You can't really be clean if you sit in a tub of dirty water.

10.if you could be young again what would you do differently?
Buy Canon instead of Nikon. Opps. Did I say that outloud?

You must have missed the first thread. Calliopekel was actually the first one.

Maybe Karen you could say "I have started a thread each week for..." and also link to previous weeks in your new posts? That way if anyone misses a week, all the threads and their portfolios will be avaiable for review.

Good idea, I will link previous members-of-the-week in threads from now on.

Thank you all so much for visiting my portfolio and leaving some comments. I really do appreciate it.

I do want to say that this one web site has really taught me a lot, and even when I am famous, I will continue to visit and contribute to this site.
