Photo Friday Advance: Give Us Your Best Shots Let's see three of your favorite photos of all time AND let's hear why they're your favorites.
Oh, this will be interesting.

My favorite photos aren't the best photos I've taken, they are the photos that pull up the best memories for me. Thus:

2007, a big group of my friends rented out houses in Granada and Barbados and went to a bunch of cricket world cup games. On the off-days we did... nothing except lie around the beach eating and drinking rum. Cricket on a Barbados beach at sunset... perfect.

2006. My closest friends from college. At one of our number's wedding, of course.

2008. Me and my two day old little girl.

My sister once told me that all my favorite pictures of her are of her frowning slightly. She was totally right and I never quite figured out why. I hope I can find one in particular to scan. I took it at the beach when we were 16 and 17 and she is completely beautiful. She's totally frowning--both squinting into the sun and frowning anyway--but it's one of my favorite pictures ever. It's funny because of the two of us, my sister is much more cheerful, outgoing and optimistic.

That is EXCELLENT news.

Now they need to get to work on that "Wednesday is not Friday" problem... ;)

Oh duh. I thought that MGL meant that we were doing a BONUS photo day today in addition to photo friday.

How I ever read that into her statement I don't know.

Heh!

I like your point about "favorites" vs. "best," though... something to think about in choosing pics.

Ooh, this will be fun. And fortunately it's looking like I'll be off Friday (first day off in....fuck it, can't count that high). Looking forward to it!

FWIW gaspode I read it the same way.
