Moving Forward

Every day, every year, moving forward.

2024 marks my 20th year posting photos on Aminus3. Seems crazy.

This was my first post in February 2004, though if memory serves we didn't actually turn on Aminus3 for another few months, so that may have been back posted.

Fast forward, 20 years later, we are still sharing photos and connecting through photography.

For the Aminus3 Weekly Prompt : Fast Forward

Thank you to those who take the time to share your thoughts and comments.

Roger Dekert from VAUREAL, France

20 years goes by quickly.
As fast as cyclists in full race.
It is said that cycling champions shave all their hair to improve their aerodynamics.
There was one who stopped at the barber shop to get his hair removed!!!
Happy birthday for these 20 years and I wish you an excellent year 2024.

@Roger Dekert: a poetic metaphor and funny thoughts on stopping to for some hair care thanks Roger!

Ted from Blackwood, Caerphilly, United Kingdom

**two decades of quality then!**
Which exactly what this is...great mix of subject and background. And timeless, this hasn't dated at all.
Bravo Jason!

@Ted: Thanks Ted, and to clarify, this cycling photo is from this year, but I was saying "this photo was my first post" meaning the link to the 2004 image of moon and trees.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

Beautiful tones, contrasts and shadows! I am intrigued/puzzled by some words that are backward (on bike frame and awning valance) and others that are forward (on windows). It's fun to look back, especially when there is improvement. I shriek when I look back at some old ones. :-)

1 Jan 2024 11:12pm

@Steven: Hey, good observation! The original image had the cyclers going from right to left and since we in the Western world read left to right, it felt "backwards" to me vs "forwards" so I flipped the image. In doing so, I had also flipped two of the text blocks as well using clone tool, but didn't bother with the other text in the image which as you observed is still backwards.

Steven from Chicagoland, United States

Happy New Year to you and your family! May it be filled with hope, peace and prosperity.

Hiro from Kyoto, Japan

very nice picture for the week's prompt, and very nice for the first day of the year. Happy New Year 2024 !

1 Jan 2024 11:23pm

@Hiro: thank you Hiro!

Elaine Hancock from Olney, United States

An incredible image and incredible history. The black and with with the contrasts of light and shadow is superb. Am3 has been an integral part of my life. I have learned so much and made wonderful friends. It is hard to believe that the time has moved so fast. Best wishes Jason for a happy and healthy 2024!

@Elaine Hancock: Thanks Elaine, and I am so happy to hear how Aminus3 has been of value for you over the years.

Sam from Chennai, India

We have come a long way. It has been a wonderful journey.
Greetings and Best Wishes for A Happy New Year !!!
