Ilan Bresler Photography

It's my birthday. Well... Three days ago, actually.

I'm not taking a break, by the way. It's just the title of the photo..
Oh.. And it's not me here. It's a friend of mine :)

Photoblogger Unite!
I'm sorry, I know I'm blabbing too much lately. It's just that I've been photoblogging for some time now, and there is just something on my mind that I really wanted to share with you.

Photoblogging is a bit egocentric. I post a photo and presume it’s interesting enough to “waste” your time. Not only that, I’m rude enough to ask you to comment on my creation! Of course, we all comment photos of others as well, but the interaction is more distant than in usual blogging – we interact by comments, not content. There is less content that connects us (the photobloggers) to each other because… well, “each to his own [creation]”.

But many times, since I’ve started photoblogging and found other photoblogs, I wished I could share with you the magnificent photos I encounter during commenting.
So I had an idea –Why not dedicate a post to share with you my favorite photos that YOU took? I don’t mean, God forbids, to deprive you of my magnificent art, but just for a short moment to brake my egocentric shell, and thank you for those photos that moved me, that inspired me, that taught me… That I hope were taken by me, to be honestly frank.

Where there photos that did that to you? Link them by commenting here or on your blogs. It might become a new tradition, for us, the photobloggers :)
Here are just few recent photos that affected me (there are many, many more!):

- b.r.f.u.k - Richard Whitelock's Photography


- The Sun Shines & The Igloo Melts


- Un jour_ une photographie (v.2)


- Elaine


- transparent things


- egotripping.net

* I was a bit rude by not asking permission to resize your photos before posting them here. If I crossed a line, please, tell me, and I'll remove the thumbnail immediately.

It seems good news just keep on coming :)
My Super Animal photo was just chosen by Wired.com editors as one of
"Top 10 Wired.com Animal Photos, Decided by Us" (appears as number 9 out of 10).
I totally forgot that I've submitted the photo, and found out about through Digg :)
