versatile surprise
It was with surprise and amazement I read that one of my new blogging friends CaityRosey had decided to present me with a Versatile Blogger Award. That’s why I’ve selected the image of a versatile Mime artist Malik Ibheis for today’s post.
It has taken a while to find the time to meet the requirements of the award. Of course I have my favourite blogs, but it turned out that a couple of my old favourite bloggers (such as Deby) haven’t posted for such a long time I didn’t feel it was appropriate to put them in my official list, even though I respect them hugely.
So here’s my contribution to the Versatile Blogger phenomenon – thank you so much Caity!
15 bloggers who I’m going to nominate for the Versatile Blogger Award (in alphabetic order).
Chenav and Waxou – a versatile double act of spectacular and quirky images.. and cats
Citywagon – a great idea in images
Dancebloggers – a well designed consolidation blog
Minushabens – images from a well travelled man. Mostly Italian, often controversial, regularly black and white
Ms Hedgehog – tango, knitting and other dance-relevant stuff. Good thoughtful stuff alongside a sense of humour and considerable salon tango expertise
Mysteritmo – a photo blog from Denmark. Inspired mostly by love, music and dance
Jim – inspiration, perspiration, religion and cycling from the Forgotten Poet
Piet G – a blog on statistics, law and music. He’s one of the many people who helped free my friend Lucia, and therefore to whom I shall be eternally grateful
Noise of Art – I enjoy his consistency in one of the most regularly updated photo blogs on (mostly) graffiti and street art that I’ve found
Sprocket – image-stories and semiautobiographical images from the most stunningly creative individual I know
Swamprose – idiosyncratic and interesting images from an idiosyncratic Canadian
Tango Commuter – varied words from a real tango addict who seems to have done it all
Xalieri – why isn’t someone commissioning this guy’s stories?
TMK – images from a creative Pole. I just wish I understood the language!
