I was pleased recently when artist Russell Bedson contacted me to ask permission to base a painting on one of my very early blog photos from October 2007. (I started the blog in September 2007.)
The resultant print that he sent me in thanks has now been framed and placed in our living room. It looks better than it shows in the above photo.
Russell's work can be found here.
The original photo, shown below and included in this posting, has already been used for a naming ceremony. It's interesting that the only picture I've taken that has been used (to the best of my knowledge) by others has now been used twice, though some of my photos, and Sue's, have gained awards in Austrian Alpine Club photo contests.
Thank you, Russ.
