The Luminous Endowment, an excelent initiative that keeps alive the legacy of Michael.
I'd like to congratulate this edition winners, with their stunning work. A special mention to forum member Eric Myrvaagnes, whose work I especially like and for the frequent feedback he provides in the user critique subforum.
I wish the Endowment continues to grow in the future.
Regards

Thanks for the special mention, Francisco.
I think we all owe a great thanks to Kevin and Chris and the large panel of jurors who are working so hard to keep alive the spirit that Michael gave to LuLa!
Since you mentioned the grants, I'll say that soon I will post a special pre-order deal for the first book that I am producing with the help of the LuLa publishing grant.

Eric,
Congratulations on the award. Looking forward to your book.

Thanks, Rajan and Chuck.
I'll certainly keep you all posted on my progress. The first book will be black and white only (my comfort zone), with shots from over fifty years.
Please note that there are a number of other fascinating projects that won awards in this round of the LuLa grants. The Endowment was another of Michael's excellent ideas, and it seems to be doing a great service.

Congrats Eric!

Bravo, bravo, bravo, Eric! Job excellently done.
-
Thank you Riaan and Seamus. Maybe I'm the only forum regular who applied for a grant.
-
Congrats, Eric! Beautiful photos.
-
Thanks, Slobodan. I am expecting this to be a fun project.
-
Hi Eric,
Very happy to hear about your project! Congratulations!
Kind regards
Erik

Well done Eric.
-
Thank you Erik and Graeme!
-
Eric, very glad you made it! Happy for you indeed. From your application:
Sometimes I am struck by the simple beauty of a scene, but more often a shape or form or the effect of light will suggest to me something other than the physical subject.
If there's anything that inspires me the most in photography, that's what you said in the above sentence. Wish you best of luck with your publication, and continuing photography journey!
-
Thank you, Zorki5.
I'll have a sample of the book on my website soon. I'll post here when it's up.

Wow! Thanks, Rich!

Congratulations to all the winners and to Eric who contributes lots of possitive stuff to this forum!
-
Thanks, Hugh.
-
Yes congratulations indeed! The quality of photography is outstanding, the proposals are heartfelt and all are relevant beyond their image creators. I also appreciate the judges who selected to support photography projects that are understandable and relatable ... unlike much of the gibberish junk I see in galleries.
-
A belated "well done!" Eric. This is also a good time to say thank you for your helpful commentary on my various postings over the years...!
I hope your health is improving.

Congratulations Eric. Well deserved; beautiful photos.
-
Thank you Vartkes and William and Bob.
Cheers,
Eric

One more congrats to add here, Eric. The award is well deserved not only for the merit of the work, but for the consistently constructive and supportive voice that you have provided to this forum over the years.

Hi Arlen,
I would thank you, too, except that on another thread Slobodan has just made a convincing case that thanking individuals can be construed as an attempt to pump up one's post count. ;)
P.S. Don't tell Slobodan, but Thank You Arlen (and any subsequent posters to this thread.) ;D

Come to think about it, I should start thanking a lot more myself... I have a lot of catching up to do, given your post count ;)

I've been thinking of randomly choosing about 5000 of my posts to delete. But I've been too busy with other useless tasks. :D

I would like to add my congratulations Eric. And I, too, am greatly looking forward to your book!
-
Now the pressure is really on!
Thanks, Terry.

I got your PM, Rob.
