However, most of them have an ebook version, and one or two of them are free :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-8592958952574770332020-09-12T16:41:36.808+01:002020-09-12T16:41:36.808+01:00Hi Kim,

Do you do this every year?<br /><br />Have you published any book, Kim? Physical ones. I am sure soon you will have time to photograph for your own pleasure and explain the techniques. The book title will be: "Understanding photography with Kim Ayres". You are a great teacher.<br /><br />Regards,<br />VijiViji's bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00514556564303297428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-35918166957804396122011-06-09T09:47:29.924+01:002011-06-09T09:47:29.924+01:00Thanks Gillian :)Thanks Gillian :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-87062170559820607532011-06-09T08:08:18.321+01:002011-06-09T08:08:18.321+01:00Wow Kim what a successful projects.

I've been having periodic *smug* moments all week ;)<br /><br />Debra - thank you :)<br /><br />Guyana-Gyal - :)<br /><br />Carole - so much of <i>what I write about</i> turns out well... you're only ever getting the edited highlights on this blog :)<br /><br />Theanne & Baron - thank you :)<br /><br />Paolo1 - I've got a bit sporadic with the weight-loss blog of late, it's true, but my eating habits are something I will always have to keep an eye on. As it is, I'm about 12lbs heavier than I was before Christmas.<br /><br />Erica - you're lovely - you can come again :)<br /><br />Adila - I wish you could have visited too. And yes, Rogan is a far more decent and wonderful lad than anyone could possibly expect from a teenager - he's a great deal better than I was at his age, although don't tell him that...<br /><br />Eryl - thank you. It was such a shame I didn't get photos of you and Stevie over the weekend. I saw you behind the crowd at one point. Mark said you even popped in a 2nd time, but it was really busy at both points. If I do it again, come on Monday, which is always the quieter day :)Kim Ayreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02656677501116622953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-77775627285292250182011-06-07T19:42:21.045+01:002011-06-07T19:42:21.045+01:00So glad to hear it went this well, and you didn...So glad to hear it went this well, and you didn't suffer too much, at least you don't look like you did.
