"The Celebration Hall" a composite by Robin Griggs Wood
The hall is ready for the big celebration. It's Google+'s birthday today––three years and I still adore this place. Dave Besbris put out the call to share "Who are your people on Plus?" Well, Dave, for one … ;o7 … but, you know, I can't stop at just three, Dave. For me Google+ has been a place of wonder and immense inspiration. Today I want to invite as honored guests to the Celebration Hall all of the folks who make G+ extra special with their wonderful imaginations, their open hearts and their generous willingness to help others to grow as well. They take imagery to a whole new level, so are well worth the add, if you haven't found them yet.
You ALL make Google+ one of the most special places to be –– including alphabetically, but not limited to:
Niki Aguirre , Miss Aniela , Annette Biggers , Sam Breach , Lotus Carroll , Gretchen Chappelle , Ron Clifford , Cheryl Cooper , Gemma Costa , Scott Detweiler , Glyn Dewis , Shantha Marie Fountain , Christopher Germano , E.E. Giorgi , Andy Gray , Brian Grzelewski , Thomas Hawk , Darla Hueske , Karen Hutton , Tommy Ingberg , Jason Jakober , Mark Johnson , Derek Kind , Alex Koloskov , Jessica Lark , Andy Lee , Jeff McDonald , Baldur McQueen , Regina Pagles , David Pairé , Sandra Parlow , Jay Patel , kimberton pemberly , Tamara Pruessner , Eric Raeber , Trey Ratcliff , Mark Rodriguez , Brooke Shaden , Alan Shapiro , Mike Shaw , Adrian Sommeling , Sairam Sundaresan , Erika Thornes , Joel Tjintjelaar , Shawn Van Daele , Catherine Vibert , Von Wong ... and many more (I'll share a circle later with a larger group). Please know that I am grateful to every one of you and am so happy to have found you here on G+ ... you rock my world!
Folks, for anyone reading this, please let me know in the comments who YOU think takes imagery to a whole other level.

Love you Miss Robin! Robin Griggs Wood (comment foot note: all those things have happened to me and not so long ago)
I think I'm under dressed. Thanks so much for the mention in this post Robin Griggs Wood , it always feels weird to be included in a circle full of so many people that I admire, and you are definitely one of the people. You help make G+ a great place. You provide inspiration, you teach, you are always positive, and can dance pretty well to "Happy". :)
ReplyDeleteYou help lift all of us who have come in contact with you a little higher.
Love all the little details in this composite.
Robin Griggs Wood I am so touched that you thought of me. You are such a wonderful inspiration for so many here with both your beautiful light, and your amazing work.
ReplyDeleteIt means a lot to me.
I could go on all day naming names, but instead I will name two that came to my mind the other day who are no long with us, but continue to inspire me through space and time.
Tawni Henlin and Lee Daniels

ReplyDeleteYou Robin Griggs Wood obviously. This place wouldn't have been the same without you and neither would I. :) xxx

ReplyDeleteRobin Griggs Wood
ReplyDeleteRobin, I hope that you have a real ball at the 3rd Anniversary Ball. Thank you for all your awe-inspiring and fun postings.
You are number 1 and then some of my other wonderful friends in the G+ fold that really inspire me are Alex Lapidus, Heiko Mahr, Doug Welch, Richard Ball and Ray Bilcliff.
Have a wonderful day dancing in your newly created ballroom.
Always a party here with you Robin Griggs Wood! Thanks very much for thinking of me Alan Mason!
ReplyDeleteCool indeed.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I missed that yesterday was G+'s 3rd anniversary so Penblywdd hapus G+.
ReplyDeleteAnd diolch Robin for all the wonderful creativeness and insights you bring us with your magical vision. Two folks I will add Colby Brown and Mykal Hall - both inspire me for different reasons.
G+ would not be what it is if it weren't for you Robin Griggs Wood! You are the one I want to thank from the bottom of my Art!
ReplyDeleteStuart Dyckhoff thanks for the shout out mate. I'm sorry I couldn't catch up with you while I was in the UK. I also missed meeting with a well known English photog. I won't mention his name as I don't won't to be seen as a name dropper. We were told to book our last leg train tickets across Europe when we first landed in London. We forgot and the tickets turned up the day after we wanted to leave. Cost us another expensive night in London and a lost day of traveling. :( We will return sometime in the future as we missed a large chunk of the country in your area. I'll make it priority 1 to catch up with you.
ReplyDeleteWonderful work and we are all happy we found you as well!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful image Robin Griggs Wood. Listing few of 'my people' below :-)
ReplyDeleteLiliya Larkina - I find her images just spell binding.
Jessica Drossin Photography - I find her images, well, so real and wonderful.
Barry Blanchard - Flowers can't look anymore beautiful without any drama added. Love all of them!
Joel Olives - Love his simple yet elegant images and love, love, love his textures.
Laurie Rubin - For her stunning wildlife photos.
piper mackay - For her exceptionally brilliant tribal people images.
Kerry Murphy - For her ever soft images and titles.
Alan Shapiro and Robin Griggs Wood : Mostly my G+ing time is dedicated to your posts. Saturdays are exclusively for Robin though :-D.
Okay, that's a pretty long list and I'll stop here for now!!
Great suggestions, D Akhila Hegde! I'll add those I don't already have in the circle .... :o) (And thank you ... :o))
ReplyDeleteToo much talent for one image.
ReplyDeleteJ Smilanic -- you are too kind ... thank you, my friend .. :o)
ReplyDeleteDavid Pairé -- no worries, my friend! ... :o))
ReplyDeleteRobin Griggs Wood I'm so pleased G+ came along when it did or my life would be devoid of your inspirational images and also the extraordinary talent shown off here by those you kindly listed me alongside. There is no way I'd have found most of them without G+ and I wouldn't be producing the work I am today without their (and your) imagery and words to take inspiration and tuition from :)
ReplyDeleteSo kind of you, Andy Gray, and so well said ... I feel the same way that I feel quite lucky to be around so many who inspire ... :o))
ReplyDeleteDearest Robin. Having just returned from 2 weeks of meditation retreat, I was overwhelmed when I read your post. This image is truly amazing because I can see the essence of everyone you mentioned! You are always an inspiration and have changed my attitude about my Self completely!
ReplyDeleteYou are always a part of my thoughts.
"Hip Hip Hurrah" to every sentiment above from all the amazing artists that you have brought together. I am truly honored to be sharing this journey with everyone in this group.
Robin Griggs Wood
Oh, Darla Hueske, big squeezy hug to you, dear!!!
