288:365 Sight - a photo on Flickriver

288:365 Sight

17.08.2009

For FGR's tribute to Abe.

I think this shot might prove to be a popular choice today. Abe always has amazing detail in his selfies and I'm afraid I haven't quite got the knack of that eye detail just yet. So this is a PWB special.

Anyway, if you don't know already, Abe finishes his 365 tomorrow. It's been a great year and I've been following for a lot of it (I think I found him on day 46). He's also responsible for inspiring hundreds of us with TOTW.

I'm sure your final photo will be a cracker Abe, I'll be waiting...

P.S. It looks like I'll be working late this week so sorry if I don't get round to many of you.

P.P.S. For everyone that's commented on the idea, the idea comes from Abe, I'm merely copying today!

P.P.P.S! Adding to August's Monthly Scavenger Hunt for "I can see clearly now" (don't know why I didn't think of it at the time).
