Posted by majid at March 15, 2005 05:52 AMCongratulations on the bloggie. I am only a recent discoverer of your amazing photos and since I stumbled across your site I've checked into it every day. Keep up the good work, you make Toronto amazing!
Posted by Baines at March 15, 2005 07:02 AMCongratulations, Sam! It didn't take this award for your readers to know you were already the best.
When I look at the water in this pic, it feels like the wind is skimming across the top of it, sort of chopping it. The emerald-green color of the water against the snow and orange highlights from the clouds is quite beautiful. Thanks as always for your hard work to bring us an incredible photo each day.
Posted by Abe at March 15, 2005 07:27 AMCongratulations on the award! Your beautiful pictures allow for nostalgic glimps of my hometown and give daily relief from my present job in Japan. Thank you.
Posted by Tim Reeve-Newson at March 15, 2005 07:46 AMHi Sam, congrats on winning! Your eye makes us 'city proud'. Thanks so much for my daily dose. Cheers and regards, Linda
Posted by linda at March 15, 2005 08:22 AMi love that your shadow is in the photo, like the artist as a part of the work
Posted by dominic at March 15, 2005 08:27 AMCongrats on the win! That's terrific.
To bad you couldn't collect in person. Austin would have been much warmer than here.
Posted by SooGuy at March 15, 2005 08:34 AMCONGRATS, Sam! Very well deserved. I have your site under Links and one of my favorites that I must visit every morning at work while drinking my coffee.
nice shot. I particularly like the composition in this one...and the shadow makes it interesting as well.
Posted by Jonathan at March 15, 2005 08:37 AMCcongratulations Sam. Well earned & well deserved winning the photography bloggie award! Very apropos shadow portrait of you (considering you couldn't rec'v your award in Austin Texas in person ; )
Congratulations!
As far as I understand it is an honour well deserved!

Posted by Stefan Verhaar at March 15, 2005 10:06 AMHah that shot is so similar to yesterday's SkinnyBuzzard shot. Cool use of shadows. Must have been cold there eh.
Posted by Raffi at March 15, 2005 10:07 AMCongrats Sam!
Posted by Arezoo at March 15, 2005 10:16 AMCongratulations, Sam and to Rannie also!
It is great to see that so many voters got it right; these wins are so well deserved.
While I have no argument at all with the results; I think some others,like Groundglass and Nonglossy, deserved some kind of recognition too.
I guess there just needs to be more categories.
Congrats Sam! You really deserved it!

Congratulations on winning the Bloggies award, you really deserve it and thanks for all the tips you were posting on your forums.
Keep up the good work :)
Posted by Zaid at March 15, 2005 10:46 AMKa-Ching! You're the first of my votes to cash in on an award! You certainly deserve it! I try not to miss any of your shots (much easier now that I have a feed/news reader). One of my other online pals (BizGirl) was going from New Zealand to the bloggies. Not a photoblog but really entertaining!
Congrats again!
Posted by Insta Marv at March 15, 2005 10:59 AMCongratulations from Spain!!

Posted by pedro at March 15, 2005 12:35 PMCongratulations... may this award cheers you up more, just before spring (March 20), our persian new year... wish you a happy new year by the way too.
Posted by Reza at March 15, 2005 12:45 PMAn other gorgeous picture!
I like the balance between the light and dark parts, the texture of the ice and waves, the softer clouds. And, of course the hint at the photographer himself.
Congrat, Sam, on all your work and your latest bloggies win.
This is a good time to congratulate you for your Bloggie (how could anyone vote for anybody else?) and to thank you for the daily dose of exceptional work that excites and enriches so many of us who aspire to the level at which you are accomplishing. I teach digital photography in continuing education classes and your site is always one of my first references to a new class as an example of how a good photographer "sees" first and shoots afterwards.
Posted by Bill at March 15, 2005 01:35 PMCongratulation Sam...well deserved...keep it up..
I start my day here!!
congrats sam! well deserved - i can always count on you for inspiration and helpful tips.
Posted by chrys at March 15, 2005 02:50 PMCongratulations Sam. I will likely be checking out SimpliCity as well.
The photo is beautiful as usual... looks like only a few minutes left before the sun has set...

I really felt you would win in the bloggies and now I can actually say congratulations! I often wonder how you manage to keep up with the demand but you do a wonderful job. I am often inspired what I find at your daily dose of imagery. I wish you were my friend.

Posted by mike w at March 16, 2005 12:36 AMCongrats man on the bloggies ! and nice picture.
Posted by vahid at March 16, 2005 03:52 AMBeautiful :) Although, the ocean waves look a big odd. They are very soft near the shore, and are very sharp and look like they have higher peaks outside. And the cloud cover is intresting as well.
Posted by Fellow Eskimo at March 16, 2005 04:42 PMCONGRATULATIONS on the bloggie award! :)
Posted by emilydk at March 17, 2005 09:53 AMVery, very nice. Amazing details you managed to capture there, on the snow the water and of course the wonderful sky... Beautiful... You have my vote if Photofriday announces a challence for "self-portrait"...
