The idea of the Sunday Gallery on Tour sounds good to me.

Ted, I'm honored that my old pen and ink is posted. I think the idea of a roving gallery, to attract more contributions to the gallery is wonderful. Do not retire it please. Steffi (at last I know your name) -- I really like your collages. Are they made of your photos or clippings?

Fascinating contributions and, yes, I did read the text. I would love to contribute more to *the* Sunday Gallery (let's avoid possessives for now), but I was thrown out of art class at age 13. Photography is my revenge, but it doesn't improve my other visual art skills... Anything collaborative here instantly gets my wholehearted approval. However, with a medium like a web page you need someone to drive it. Remember something called Cheddar Gorge? If an attempt like that can't be sustained, then it simply won't be, and that's no bad thing. It's already a marked achievement to have brought us five gallery posts, if that's any consolation for the frustration you're feeling. As for reading the text, I was surprised to learn from Google Analytics that the average time spent by new visitors on a post with, say, 20 images and a 500-word text was a tad over two minutes. Wow, can those people read and appreciate images fast! Apologies to you and anyone here who might take offence at the above, but perhaps you're asking a bit too much from us to give the same care and attention that you do! Of course, if this prompts a deluge of rebuttals and contributions to the gallery, then I'll be as pleased as punch. I, too, am very impressed by Pumacat's fascinating collages and again, am grateful to you for organising this, Ted.

And I completely forgot to reply to your question: yes, it's a good idea to take the Gallery on tour, but I don't think it will work. Creative collaboration runs contrary to the ethos of this site. With that said, I volunteer my revenant slot for it. It won't, however, offset the drop in contributions but will occasionally deter viewers from looking for it despite the link and the program (which also has to be found). Also, although I willingly volunteer, I think it should be 'hosted' by someone with serious artistic credentials, which definitely rules me out. Furthermore, I rather like the idea of it being *your* gallery. It's your brain child, driven by you. Falling stats or contributions are in no sense down to you and moving the gallery around doesn't address these issues. I would suggest persevering on your Sunday slot and taking stock after another five shows.

Another remarkable series that I am so glad is still going. I too read your commentary, Ted; and I agree with Stéfan that you being the master curator is the best way to go. I would hate to think that something like this series or even the playful nature of 'Cheddar Gorge' dissipated because of lack of interest, but honestly I think that far too many of us on PB swiftly skim blog posts and do not give the appreciation that some of these types of postings deserve. Having said that, I think your effort is still valued by many of us and I hope for it to continue.

Thanks for showing my collages. I also think that a gallery on tour wouldn't work. But I will post a link in my new entries. Maybe some others could also do so.

Beautiful!! Pumacat's collages are amazing. But I'm impressed by the hands on #2, like bones... WOW! About the gallery... I missed the date! How? I don't know... maybe this week I've been too busy... :(

Another great Gallery!!! As always i like your work very much, but the contributors did great too, neat drawing and collages from Steffi and Leah!! As for the Gallery itself, the idea of a moving one is good, but i also think it wouldn't work. You are the one with the knowledge of art, and it's your idea and baby, and i'm sure bit by bit the whole of PB will get to know this blog for it. Maybe it might be better if we all made some form of commercial for you on our blogs (with a link), hoping that others will send some works to you.

Love to view the many talents of photobloggers on the Sunday Gallery....I commend you for facilitating it, Ted. Many of us who would love to participate simply don't have anything worthwhile to submit, but we do enjoy looking! Maybe if there aren't enough submissions for a weekly gallery you could do a monthly...just a thought.

Excellent draws and collages for this gallery :) About it, I was and I'm kinda busy but I'll try to do a draw! Let's hope! And I still think the sunday gallery should be on your blog :)

The gallery is wonderful as always. Just adding to what has been said, I think you are the best host for this event. It needs a particular dedication to keep it going. It has crossed my mind several times, but I lack your dedication to make the time. I'll try to do better.
