It kinda takes away the 'speshul' feeling but if it is all kosher then at least it is all for a good cause. At least one I believe in strongly.


I figured other people on the site were involved in this, you in particular. I hope it wasn't exactly the same PM, as that wouldn't make much sense, it seemed pretty specific to my photograph. I assumed they would be using more than a single image on their website.


Yeap, got a couple of my shots there too and glad to have an excuse to contribute. Here's the main one. Oh, and if you hover your mouse over the image, the photo credit comes up as well.

Awesome! Thanks, I hadn't noticed that roll-over thing.

So I was bored at work and I googled myself and I found that this actually exists and I must say that it looks pretty darn good.

Oh, and I do recognize a few names from dpc here :)

Although they really should have given us credit where the photos are actually displayed.

couldn't have happened to a better guy :)

Wow, cool! I've had a couple used as promotions for hospitals, but nothing so "prestigious."
 11/12/2005 05:32:04 PM · #11
That's wonderful. It really is an excellent photograph, one of my favorites on this site!

Great job and very well deserved. I love the lighting.
 11/12/2005 05:17:39 PM · #13
What a wonderful way to have your work recognized. It is a stunning photograph and deserves to be seen by those that will truly appreciate it. Congratulations JPR! :-)

Do we have to relate a couple of monkeys (primates if you will) to an unapproachable adjective as holy? Sounds like rhetoric of a bunch of monkey lovers....which by the way, how do you say to yourself, you know, I am going to devote my very life to saving some monkeys, because damn it, I just love them monkeys. Which brings up another point: If they will die eventually, then are you really saving them to begin with? Just makes me wonder why people choose seemingly useless ways to carry out their otherwise useful energies....

Anyway, nice image JPR, and hopefully more people can benefit from your successful eye.


I may agree with you, but really, now's not the time.

YIP YIP YIPEEE!
I'm thrilled for you

hahaha, exactly! I can't think of anything I would rather do with my photography. I never sell anything. I feel better giving it away to good causes.

Wow! Way to go. That is a very complimentary letter and it would be an honor to help such a non-profit.

Great job and a well deserved recognition.

Whoa, that is so cool!! Congrats JPR! Not surprised they chose this shot, superb work and it has a very special poignant quality that makes you stop, take another look, and think.

Oh, very nice! Beautiful letter, that! Congrats.
