Person of the Year

Hi folks -- okay, here's my last post for today (and most likely, 2005)... a little while back Time magazine was accepting "nominations" for their 2005 Person of the Year.

The way it worked was (it's closed now), someone could nominate a person's photo, which would then be shown on one of the big screens in Times Square for a minute or something.

They had a Webcam pointing at the sign, which would take pictures of the screen, which you could then see by going to their Person of the Year site [Flash]:

My sister submitted photos for me and the other members of my family -- part of our Christmas gift was printouts of the photos.

Now, if you're wondering what's going on that photo, well, you'll have to see the original -- it was taken a couple of years ago in a park, during a trip to China:

China, 2003

Have a great New Year's, and I'll see you in 2006.

Best. -- Joe

Hello, Joe
Where you are standing looks so beautiful. I can understand why they would pick this photo.
