I submit the photos to that page once in while, so i'm not making fun of anyone-mine fall under the same judgement. They're not always great, sometimes just so-so with regard to interesting subject matter & photo quality, & then there's other days that really stand out. Sometimes every group of photos on there is really good, the pictures are of odd angles you don't always see, or maybe there's a subject matter that no one else would take the time to shoot, or someone gets a rare chance at something unusual. I see more & more creative telephoto shots, night shots, photo essays, action shots, location shots, profile pictures, silouette shots, & other great hobbyist type pictures of everything from the ships themselves to bridges, buildings, & trains that all relate to tell the story of the Great Lakes. Some people get this and some people miss the point, but these shots & the stories they tell are my daily entertainment & I love seeing it every morning. The internet brings us all a little closer with the free flow of such interesting subjects from locations that I'll never get to see myself, but that I can easily relate to because it's the boats that tie it all together.
