Description
Five years ago today I was in Chicago at the (in some circles) famous Ninja Photographer's gathering. It's hard for me to believe that was five years ago!
The participants were, in alphabetical order:
anahata.c (Mark)
auntietk (Tara)
beachzz (Marilyn)
Chipka (Chip)
CoreyBlack (Corey)
elfin12u (Dave)
elfin12doaks (Cheri)
This is a collection of several of my photographs from that trip. It's a fond memory, and one I'll undoubtedly still be enjoying when I'm old and decrepit! :)
It's a milestone in time, and also in volume. This is the 2600th image in my gallery.
Zoom!

You do these so well; having tried, it's harder than it would appear! I wish I'd been able to join that gathering, it sounds like a great time was had by all. But it's been fun sharing your memories through the years as you put them out, so that's good too. Beautiful work and congrats on the milestone(s)!
Rich, engrossing and delicious! It is outstanding!
This is a very creative art work !!!!!
Beautiful depiction of your visit perfect way to celebrate 2600 uploads
It is a beautiful and artistic image of your trip. It bares some resemblance to the way Chip puts images together. Great minds thinking alike.
A perfect composite for # 2600, Tara! Congratulations, my dear friend! I'm looking forward to the next 2600! This really is a wonderful collection of memories.
Excellent collage Tara; I would say the experience must have been marvellous!
5 years----I remember it like it was yesterday and would go back in a heartbeat. That phone call where you said, "Hey, you wanna go to Chicago?", and it to me a New York (Chicago??) minute to say YES!! Thanks for this great memory!!
This has the feel of an animation where the images scroll by overlapping one another. Fantastic work.
Very impressive!
Amazing work Tara. Time surely do fly past all of us. God bless.
A wonderful photo collage - all the transparencies flow harmoniously & seamlessly & seem to be in perfect balance. I know that's not a trivial thing to accomplish, as one little element can throw the whole thing off & stick out like a sore thumb if it's inserted carelessly. The fact that you remembered it to the day tells me that this gathering of photographic kindred souls was special to you, so congratulations on commemorating it in such grand style, as well as on your posting milestone...
Wonderfully creative! I must admit the first thing I thought was New Orleans, though. :) Congrats on 2600 images! Hope you both had a wonderful anniversary, Tara and Bill.
Beautiful memories Tara! Sometimes time evades us so quickly, that we just can't seem to shake the feeling of the "just yesterday". I am always amazed at how beautifully you present even the simplest of things. A few photographs can be turned into literally a fantastical composition. Brilliant! This is so harmonious, really and truly.
Congratulations on your 2600 upload! Great collage! :)
I agree with photosynthesis
very cool smiles and congrats too warm hugs
Outstanding montage!
For quite a while I was looking at your amazing selection of outstanding images, and it's such interesting again, to see what you did, dear friend. What came out, really is something unique (of course, hehe, couldn't be something else, right?). I love (all) the repetition of different lines, mood, colors and the things and images, which you gave more space, so it automatically asked for more attention from the viewer, like the violinist. I'm a way 'in ow' upon discovering the little details, like the music notes, the beautiful façade, the piano, etc. I'm sure, it will cost much more than 2600 uploads, dear Tara, before you will be old and decrepit. I think the latter, it will never happen. Anyway, my heartedly congratulation, also for being in the weekly with this great one, my friend. :)
What a great blend of pics ,they go together seamlessly .
