In honour of Eric Tenin -The Godfather of City Daily Photo

Praise be to Eric Tenin

5th Year celebration of Paris Daily Photo


Many of us over the years have probably had what we thought was a unique brainwave, a daily photo of the place we live. Sorry folks, myself included, and I am a brainwave kind of a lass, Eric had the conception, is the Godfather of the original Daily Photo. What better city too in my absolute favourite country in the whole wide world but a Daily Photo of Paris, France.

Today we in the City Daily Photo community are honouring the founder in his trademark style " from the ground up" genre of image with one taken from where we reside. From the rank amateur to the more accomplished professional all are welcome in the community, from one horse town to the biggest cities in the world and it is Eric we have to thank for bringing us all together under the umbrella of a website community to show our place to the world.

Congratulations Eric, and long may you reign so long as you understand I am still Queen B of my island.

  2. HRH Babooshka,
    He's our papa alright! Lots of ducklings in the brood now after 5 years, eh? :-) Great to see your post in tribute to Eric, oh Queen of Man (and only you could pull THAT off!).

  3. Yes indeed, Queen "B", I do believe you could do that. And a fitting anniversary gift to the king you have presented with it's brooding kind of Manx flavor.

    Nice to see you back again.

  15. A perfect Babooshka tribute, Queen B. I hope Eric makes the rounds and sees them all.

    Now I must go ask Virginia what the Sin Bin is.
