Angaston, South Australia: My all-time top ten photos of Jamie (from JimandJamie.com)

A couple weeks ago I did a story about the outrageous cost of shipping our dog to Australia. A reader with the handle ”RangerWick” bluntly opined, ”Would rather see photos of Jamie, not you or the dog.” Then reader “Ray” seconded the motion by commenting, ”I agree with RangerWick.”

Yeah, I understand that she’s a lot easier on the eyes than I am. I am not delusional enough to think that anyone wants to gaze upon my wrinkled old mug.

But RangerWick and Ray gave me an idea. Each week for the next month or so I’m going to run ”All-time top ten photos of (fill in the blank).” We’ll kick things off by fulfilling Randerwick’s and Ray’s request for more photos of Jamie. Next week it will be ”All-time top ten photos of Jim and Jamie together,” followed by ”All-time photos of things and places, not people,” and so on and so forth until I run out of topics.

I’m not saying these are the best photos ever taken. They might not even be good photos because we know next to nothing about composition and lighting. But they are my favorites because they come with great stories attached or because they trigger the fondest memories.

One other thing: Please note that I said these are my favorite photos of Jamie from JimandJamie.com. In other words, they are not necessarily her favorites. I will see if I can get her to put together her ten favorite photos of herself, but she’s a modest gal and will undoubtedly decline.

I hope this makes you happy RangerWick and Ray.
