I know you like this one Shaun, and it means a lot to me too because it was my first serious stab at landscapes, just over a year ago when we visited Grasmere. I think my images have come on a lot in that time, but this one is still special to me.

The photographs which mean the most to me are most certainly not my own, I'd like to think my horizons expanded at least a little more.

My favourite this year technically all wrong, but a great shot of my wee daughter just caught in a nice pose at the right time, and me literally with the camera out of the box, could also be the one with the bright pink potty in the background, sure you get the jist.
As for the lake district shots, on my doorstep but I think I have binned just about all my efforts so not even close.

This is a great question which really got me thinking.
I'd have to go for a shot I took in May of my daughter Molly. It just melts my heart:

Good question. Sod all the pretty butterflies and sunsets. Just the snaps of the kids, the albums of testaments to the past and the drawer full of old, torn, creased and faded assorted ancestors are by far the most meaningful.

I'm much the same. Kids and pets.
I think the point is that why you are trying to be artistic you spend a lot of time fretting over the finished product. When it's family it's the memories you enjoy.

For me from this years shots it has to be this one of my step-daughters Alex and Sarah on the beach walk from Whitby to Sandsend.
A special shot that serves as a memory of a very special few days with my wife Bernice, Alex and Sarah.

My favourites, a picture of two sisters and a brother I never new existed. Black and whites of our Dad that I never new. None of them spectacular or well composed but it`s what they convey that can`t be said in words.
Enjoy life

I'd give anything for a photo of my Father - never met him and haven't a clue what he looked like.
Special one that I've taken is a photo of my Grandad, Nana and Uncle none of whom are alive today. I was 11 and Grandad had bought me a Kodak camera no film to worry about it was enclosed in a cassette. I took it in front of Lake Geneva it's out of focus and the horzon's not straight (the leaning fountain of Geneva has a ring to it :lol but it's one of my first ever photos.
Memories eh ! boxes and albums of totally unprofessional looking photos that money could never replace.

Charlotte, behind each photograph lies history. I count myself very blessed it took 57 years and a chance encounter on Genes Reunited for the pictures that I treasure most from my Sisters and Brother. I love what you said and hope that you find a picture one day.
Enjoy life

for me its Funny, how so often I see a picture that tugs on my soul,
and I realise its Cumbria. Of course, home of my heart.
