Photography & Blog feedback

• Photo slide show in the Arctic: Polar bear cubs, puffin, abandoned ship, guillemots in V,  polar bear looking. Tanya and me deciding on photos.  
• Photo slide show feedback: Ben: You were the best. Peter Eastway impressed. Most oohs and ahs.  Gavin and Richard: You got biggest reaction. 
• Thank you for sharing this Jo. It fills me with wonder and emotion. What a beautiful planet we live on and this part of the whole world seems so mysterious to me. I would love to visit one day.
• Richard: Hi Graeme Finally I got to sit down and watch this beautiful slideshow.  It's absolutely stunning. The images are incredible - you are such an talented wildlife and landscape photographer.  Reliving it a couple of months brings it all back into sharp focus but a completely different perspective - through your lens So many of the photos I haven't seen.... certainly not in this format on a big screen with music. It was very moving .. well done!
• Justin and polar bears. “You didn’t take that!”
• Jo on my Arctic posts:  You should be writer - not Tanya. You write with such passion and kept me engrossed.
• Elna:  Incredible photos from on your blog… words fail me!  Would love to hear all about it.
• Richard on my blog:  Love this graeme!!  Really enjoyed re-living such magical memories!

Richard

• I enjoyed your company so much on the trip and have told everyone how great it was to spend all that time with you and get to know you.  A new friend for life I hope!
• Intimidated by you and Gavin. Both so bright.
• You and Gavin know so much about everything.  Your intelligence is humbling.  You’re quite a catch.  You are enlightened.  Love your passion for photography.

Weekend to Southern Highlands

• Philosophical discussion with Derek. Kim: that's so beautiful. Lauren and Christian listening in.
• Lauren re Derek.  "Do not know him well but I really like him. Feel like our values align."
• Jasenka:  You do amazing hikes with Mountain and Srini. 
• Jasenka:  Wowza great quality pics. Were they all taken with your phone camera? Impressive!
• Fantastic pics and blog in general. Thanks for sharing! Have already shared it beyond our group with my mum
