If you haven't checked out Jilly's <A HREF="http://monte-carlo-daily-photo.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Monte Carlo Daily Photo</A> and <A HREF="http://menton-daily-photo.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Menton Daily Photo</A>, I recommend you do. It's not just the luck of having beautiful places to photograph. Jilly's a particularly talented portraitist, too. Today's Menton shot is nothing short of brilliant.<BR/><BR/>(You can also click through to "Riviera Dogs," which I particularly enjoy.)Petrea Burchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13043950465171821852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-77355219722345203372008-08-09T10:15:00.000-07:002008-08-09T10:15:00.000-07:00Thanks, Jilly.

I'll confess now that I've saved <A HREF="http://monte-carlo-daily-photo.blogspot.com/2008/04/larvotto-life.html" REL="nofollow">one of your photos</A>. I love them all, but this one I had to keep to look at again and again. What draws me in is texture: sand, wood, skin. Then the shadows and light. It's almost not a photo of a beautiful young man but of those graphic elements. I love photos like that, which is why I also love <A HREF="http://izmirdailyphoto.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">monoblog's izmir daily photo</A>. Everyone should check that out.
