Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks for the continuous inspiration on paper and web.
I was in NYC on Saturday, and toward the end of the night a fire truck came roaring down the street, sirens blaring, lights blazing… I yelled to my fiance’ “there goes ‘the Pride of Midtown!’, Joe McNally shoots those guys!” She smiled at me an said “oh yeah?” but her eyes said “dork”. Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and Annie, Joe, and to your team at your studio. Thanks for all the sharing.
Happy Holidays! Enjoy the time off while it lasts!
Merry Christmas to all the Mcnally family!…..;-)
Merry Christmas Joe,
You do have a lot to be thankful for, as do we all. But, as I see it, you, through decades of working with good people, sweating through those early years, through working really hard and a continued willingness to grow and to move ever-so-slightly forward, you have been able to fight your way to the top of a wonderful profession, sharing your art with millions, upon millions, of people along the way.
So, you should know that I, a simple kennel designer, am thankful for you. I’m thankful that Anne lets you roam the world to do what you do. For your sharing those hard-time stories, along with the good-times too and for your books, which continue to help my photography grow. Perhaps one day, I’ll have an opportunity to shake your hand to say thanks, but until then, thank you very much for your work, for sharing, and Merry Christmas to you both.
Our industry is better off because of your generosity of teaching and sharing.
Thanks so much !
Merry Christmas,
Bill
Merry Christmas Joe!

Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your crazy band !!!
A Merry Christmas to you.
Merry Christmas & all the best for the coming year Joe.
2012 was a year full of things that inspired me, changed me, and made me (hopefully) a better person. There were a number of things I am supremely grateful for – at the top of the list was welcoming my daughter Brooklyn into the world a few months back but also included in my most memorable experiences was having had the privilege of meeting you – thank you. It would be erroneous of me not to mention that I was also mildly pleased that we all made it to Christmas despite the best efforts of the Mayans’ & Hollywood…
Merry Christmas to you and your family Joe. And many thanks for the tons of inspiration I have got watching your work and training videos!
Cheers from Austria,
Juhana
Thanks, Joe, for all the tips, tricks, and views of the world through your lens. I caught your recent show in Philly and had a blast. Thanks for making yourself so available as an educator and photographer. Happy Holidays!
Thank you for all those amazing posts and breathtaking pictures along the year Joe – wish you and your family Merry Christmas and a wonderful Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Loved your seminar in Hartford this year. Hope Kelby Training comes back!!!
Cheers to that Joe !! All the best for you, your family and all the crew !!!
Best wishes from Mexico.
Hector Segovia & PhotoXperience Team
Joe, thank you for 2012. I am looking forward to your teaching, your writing and your humor in 2013. I know you do not need affirmation from your fans, but I wonder if you really know the lives you affect. Not just your photography, but also your “humanness”…….
here is to a great 2013 !
Merry Christmas Joe. Looking forward to see your great work in this new year as well. Just a question 😉 If all computers are turned off then how did you write this blog post? (cellphones and tablets are also computers 😀 ) Happy Holidays 😀
Merry Christmas – hope u enjoy you silent Holliday without any cameras and computer.
Looking forward to next year!
Late but sincere Happy Holidys to you and your family Joe. Thanks for all you do to better us rank and file out here.
Tim
Happy Holiday to you and your family and best wishes for 2013!
Belated Merry Christmas to you too and your beloved family! Thanks for a whole year of inspiration and more than a few laughs. May your new year be blessed in many ways just as you’ve been a blessing to us.
Merry Christmas and a 2013 of Peace and Serenity for all!
Greetings from Torino, Italy 🙂
As with any image by Joe, I always want to know more about the image. So…..what is the saying on the wall in the image about alligators! Of what I can read, it sounds so “Joe”!
That’s one of my favorite sayings…. When you’re up to your ass in alligators, it’s difficult to remember your initial objective was to drain the swamp! 🙂
Very best wishes to The McNally family for 2013. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading The Hot Shoe Diaries and would echo the thoughts of many of the others here – a BIG thank you for sharing your knowledge and humour with us all.
Joe, thank you for wonderfully compelling inspiration. You are my photographic hero. It’s so nice to see an old pro (I mean that with total respect!) sticking to the essence of photography – capturing the warmest purest spectrum of light. Simple and beautiful. No tricks or stunts that seem to be polluting the industry these days because everyone is trying to stand out and be unique. You are already unique because you’re the best at what you do. Have a wonderful 2013 and please keep us all en-light-ened.
