[The “Great St. Louis Meet-Up;” On the Banks of the Mississippi River, Alton, Illinois, April, 2012]

Yes, I know my biographical sketch says that I am a “point and shoot amateur.” But, when I had trouble adjusting my camera last year during the St. Louis meet-up, I took some random shots to see whether I could bring an image into focus.

Little did I realize that my experimentation would yield the photo you see here. It made me realize that, far from being an amateur, I was now an “artiste”!

Many of you will want to prop this photo (and me)! To save you time, I have developed the list (in my best "JPG-speak"), below. Simply go down the list, select ALL of the numbers that apply, and then enter those numbers the way you would enter props. Remember: You don’t have to write any words! The numbers are all you need. (However, feel free to add additional praise!!!)

1. Your photo is a masterpiece!

2. It is a classic!

3. It is a dream!

4. You are a poet!

5. You inspire me!

6. Impressionism!

7. Expressionism!

8. Modern Art!

9. Contemporary Art!

10. Painterly!

11. Clarity!

12. Light!

13. Color!

14. Palette!

15. Texture!

16. Frame!

17. Composition!

18. DOF!

19. POV!

20. So evocative!

21. So provocative!

22. It tells a story!

23. Thanks for the memories!

24. Art is everywhere!

25. Very noir! (Would love to see it in b/w!)

26. File for copyright protection now!

27. Submit to “Gourmet Dining”!

28. This is . . . digital? The “film” elitists are going to be so jealous!

29. Sensational! Wow! Awesome!

30. My Hasselblad can’t do this!!!!!

[As always, thanks for stopping by!]

Cool! And, how about 1 through 30? Love it!
peter bodigor gave props (11 Feb 2013):
All of the above.
Joy B gave props (11 Feb 2013):
All of the above, of course!
Paperini Renato said (11 Feb 2013):
I have looked at your photos with a professional eye this really good quality, do not do the numbers, I prefer to comment on it. Of course, the definition is really good considering the shutter speed 1/40 sec at f / 4. With such a long time you need a tripod to get good results if done manually the result is remarkable both for clarity and for the indirect light. Almost everything is in focus. I like the presence of the camera.
Donald Garrett gave props (11 Feb 2013):
I esp. like #23 because it reminds me of all the fun we had that day. And the food was great too!
Donald Garrett gave props (11 Feb 2013):
P.S. I recognize Jimmy's T-shirt. That must be Susan's Canon sitting there.
Geoff Plant gave props (11 Feb 2013):
YOU MUST HAVE OVER WORKED THE CAMERA TO HAVE TO FEED IT ONOINS WITH MUSTARD . BUT STILL A GREAT CAPTURE IN THE 1 TO 30 RANGE RIHARD
Susan Littlefield gave props (11 Feb 2013):
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30!!!! I especially love the way your composition allowed you to match the color of the mustard to the shirt. After enlarging this photo 10 times, I see that the shirt says 'I went camping and burned my wiener. Sun Valley, Idaho'. #2 again!!!! And #21. And #22. And #23. And #31----EPIC meet-up!!
daniele castellucchio gave props (11 Feb 2013):

Fred Moskey gave props (11 Feb 2013):
Have never looked at a jar of mustard like that.
elfriede fulda gave props (11 Feb 2013):
Almost an "abstract" no. 31, I really like it, what is with the mustard jar? Upside down writing? :-))))
Richard Knight said (11 Feb 2013):
"Almost an abstract." Very good, Elfi. We do see that one often!
JanElle said (11 Feb 2013):
You`ve become quite the artiste, Richard! You`ve been dallying around with manual settings behind our backs, and this is proof positive.. I`m both Astonished! and Delighted! The only number I can`t list is 30, so I`ll leave it at that. Seriously, it`s a great fun capture and you made viewing it even more enjoyable. Keep on shooting!!
Sonia Adam Murray gave props (11 Feb 2013):
Brilliant my friend, Bravo! You are a true artiste amongst your other very admirable qualities!!!!

Andrea Petersen gave props (11 Feb 2013):
The first thing that I noticed was that mustard label is turned upside down, but after reading the comments I see that Elfriede said the same thing:)
John Linton gave props (12 Feb 2013):
Killer capture!
JamesHarmon McQuilkin gave props (12 Feb 2013):

Right on, James! How could I forget "delicious"???
Lynn E. Harvey gave props (12 Feb 2013):
Including all your choices, which are well deserved I like #24! Art is everywhere, indeed. Wonderful capture, now I am hungry!
Sarah Springer gave props (12 Feb 2013):
As a bonus #31 makes me really hungry! You are such a brave soul going into brave new territory , your focus is as fantastic as the little man on the T-Shirt!
Suzanne McGeady said (12 Feb 2013):
1 - 30 will do fine for starters. Think you're more than a point and shoot man, my friend. S'pose the Mustard will counteract the onions no problem!! Love your table guests T-shirt!!
Bruce Wendler gave props (12 Feb 2013):
Well you at least eat well.
Hilda Cox gave props (12 Feb 2013):

Ann Reece gave props (12 Feb 2013):
You are definitely an "artiste" and I post #1 - #30 and any new additions that may come in : )
Deborah Downes gave props (13 Feb 2013):
LOL. Must go with a still life at its best and 22. Immediately drawn to the mustard lable and how it can be represenitive of how life feels. Then get a good laugh over the T-shirt. A work of art, my friend.
Susan Littlefield said (13 Feb 2013):
You forgot 'wonderful tones' and 'epic!!' ROFLOL
Richard Knight said (13 Feb 2013):

Shirley Valencia said (13 Feb 2013):

Melissa Valencia said (13 Feb 2013):
Excellent! (I don't know what most of those other photographyism terms actually mean.) However, the photo, the composition, the Canon, the yellow, the mustard label, the shirt, the onions and most definitely the company were, indeed, EPIC. Would love to be out shooting with you all again today! Fun, fun shot, Sir Richard!
Litz Go gave props (14 Feb 2013):

Judy and Wayne Wanamaker gave props (11 Mar 2013):
You left out "snazzy", but it wouldn't be quite right anyway. It really is a great shot. At least 25 of these apply.
