A NPN member for 9 years, Youssef's landscape photography has always been a true pleasure to view. Over those 9 years, his personal gallery has grown in size, with every single photo presented one we would be pleased to have in our own collection.

Be sure to set some time aside to enjoy Youssef's NPN Gallery!

:toast: What a wonderful choice here, Jim.
Congratulations Youssef on your gallery being chosen for the most recent GOTM here at NPN. You truly have some of the finest & nicest work from many northern California natural settings with a variety of your own unique perspectives too. Way to go..... :jump:

p.s....I still get a laugh out of the snap shot I took of you, Lon, & Preston near Lee Vining during some bitter cold weather as you were setting up your 4x5. The bellows angle on the camera left the image open for some fun captions. :biggrin:

Thanks Jim for the pick. I never expected it. And thanks all, for the years of sharing your feedback on my work. It has helped me grow in many ways.

Well deserved and long overdue. Every month it amazes me that another long time member with an outstanding body of work has not had a spot in the GOTM. I guess it just goes to show just how many talented members there are on NPN. :toast: :toast:
