Number 3000

[Speed]

It doesn't seem like all that long ago I barely edge out Steve (Another View) to the 1000 mark. Of course, he blew me away getting to 2000, and he's now well past the 5000 mark! Old Timer is also past 5000, so 3 grand doesn't seem all that impressive.

Of course, being a milestone post, it has to include my lovely wife. So here are a few shots for your viewing pleasure.

First shot is one from our weekend getaway on our 9th anniversary last month.
Second one is from lunch today, during a baby shower for one of her coworkers.
The last three are shots showing her doing what she loves to do - soak up the sun. On the beach or on the boat doesn't matter, as long as there's water involved.

Gotta love those GRITS!
That's "Girls Raised In The South" for those that are wondering.

Hey does that last one qualify as a self portrait?

As usual, you wife is lovely!

[adina]

ps....congrats on 3000!


ps again....is that Dawn's mom with her on the boat? Similar profiles...

[Speed]

Good question. Maybe I should post it in the self portrait thread!

"As usual, you wife is lovely!"

Thank you! I think so too.

:-D

DUDE!
Not another thread of pics of your wife!
:thumbsup:
I'm close behind!

"Similar profiles..."

Actually, it's MY mom. Ironic that you should say that though. A few months back, my parents had some old 8mm movies transferred to DVD. While watching that, Dawn was struck by how much my mother looked like her when mom was in her 20's/30's. They also both noted that they even have very similar mannerisms and expressions.

Lord help me....

Thank you for the comments Adina!

[Speed]

Is that a complaint?! Surely not!

I know that many of you live vicariously through me, so I do my part and post photo's of my lovely wife. Actually, it should inspire you to take and post photo's of your lovely significant others. Old Timer does. Troy (I Fly) has. Guess the rest of you should do so as well.

;-)

"I'm close behind!"

Yes you are. Of course, you need not bother trying to out-do me. But we do expect something nice....

You are a funny man Roberto!

I do post photographs of my lovely wife, I have the long standing "B-Day Project", it's on my website too!

Keep On Keeping On!

and he's now well past the 5000 mark!

= no life...

Congrats on the big 3k. Dawn looks lovely as usual!

[Speed]

Just picking on you my friend! I know you post photo's of your wife. And I think it's a wonderful thing to do. Let's them know you think they are beautiful.

3000!!!! I know what a landmark that is congratulations! You have long been one of those we look up to here on PR and Viewfinder. All you need to do to keep our admiration is to continue to post pictures of the lovely Dawn. You really know how to warm up a cool February day. Thanks for all you've done to make PR the photography site of choice on the Internet.

[mjs1973]

Congratulations Speed. On both the 3000 posts, and the anniversary!

[ken1953]

Congrats Speed...3000 is a big milestone...I've slowed down in the past several months, so I'm lagging way behind....Keep up the great work.

You need to hit milestones like this more often! Dawn is gorgeous as always. It's always pleasant to see photos of her!

It's hard to believe that we started posting on PR about the same time. Now you're over 3K and I'm just over 300. I guess I need to start posting more!

It's kind of funny (yet scary in a way) that Dawn is so much like your mother, isn't it?

[walterick]

Robert,

One of these days somone is going to turn you in for taking pictures of that young girl all the time

Congrats on the anniversary and 3 triple 0 bud!

(I'm working on those self portraits tomorrow )

[Speed]

Ouch! Come on big guy, give a man a break. I've been on PR since December of 2001.

"Congrats on the big 3k. Dawn looks lovely as usual!"

Thank you, thank you!

:-D

I appreciate the kind words. Don't get too carried away - my head might start to swell.

;-)

"All you need to do to keep our admiration is to continue to post pictures of the lovely Dawn."

You guys are easy!

"You really know how to warm up a cool February day."

Glad to do my part!!!

:-D

[Speed]

Thanks Ken!

I've had my slow periods along the way. You'll be knocking on 2000 before you know it!

[Speed]

Congratulations Speed. On both the 3000 posts, and the anniversary!

I appreciate it - on both counts!

[Speed]

"Dawn is gorgeous as always. It's always pleasant to see photos of her!"

Sure, you don't care about my milestone, you just want an excuse to see photo's of Dawn. Not that I blame you!

;-)

"It's hard to believe that we started posting on PR about the same time. Now you're over 3K and I'm just over 300. I guess I need to start posting more!"

You also started with a different screen name. When you changed to "I Fly" you started over again. While you may not have been posting much lately (with Gus being born, Collette getting her PhD, and the move), I know your actual count is much higher than that.

"It's kind of funny (yet scary in a way) that Dawn is so much like your mother, isn't it?"

Ironic - yes. Funny - Maybe. Scary - I'm afraid to comment on that one!

;-)

[Speed]

"...for taking pictures of that young girl all the time"

I'm surprised I haven't been raided yet! She is such a sweet, young thing.

"Congrats on the anniversary and 3 triple 0 bud!"

Thank you my friend!

"(I'm working on those self portraits tomorrow" )

I'll be looking for them...

[Axle]

Congrats Speed....still working on the 1K....

the Nikon D70s is helping...I need to post more photos.

[Speed]

You're practically there!

"the Nikon D70s is helping..."

Digital definitely increases the number of photo's you take. It took me nearly four years to shoot 10,000 frames of film. I've put over 8000 frames through the D200 in 10 months.

"I need to post more photos."

Absolutely!

:-D

Thanks for the comments!
