hip-hip-hooray! i am so excited for you both.
thank you for the wonderful gifts you've given us each morning this year.
happy holidays, jen

Stephanie and Maria, I don't remember how I first stumbled upon this site, but I am forever grateful that I did. You have taught me about the beauty that surrounds us all, if we know how to look. Thank you for sharing your mornings with us! It has definitely taught me to appreciate my mornings a little more. I can't wait to see what you do with the evening "magic time" light!
A safe and happy holiday to you and yours. And a blessed new year!

every morning i check my email then stop by for a quick peek...I don't think I ever left a comment. But I wanted to thank you both for a peaceful wake up moment.

Happy Holidays and enjoy the solstice!

I am so happy to hear that this wonderful project will become a book. Congratulations and thank you.

My two cents: I hope the publishers will consider a section that includes the thumbnail images by month so that people can marvel at how well the photos fit together month by month as well. (See Rock of Ages, Sands of Time by Barbara Page as a reference.)

Congratulations!

I have to agree with all the comments left here... you guys have brightened my mornings and I look forward to the evenings!

Thanks, congratulations, and Happy Holidays.

This definitely great news. I'm really looking forward to the book (how many of us will buy it as 2008 Christmas gifts?!!) and can't wait for your Year of Evenings to start. Thank you, thank you, thank you. And Congratulations!

Maria and Stephanie - So excited to see the next phase and a huge congratulations to you both. XO

Never before I left you a comment. I enjoyed in silence. But now I have to say:
Thanks (thank you so much for all the beauty), congratulations (on your book) and a very happy new year to you too!

Daily inspiration,peace and appreciation is what I have discovered through this wonderful collaboration. Congratulations and Thank-you!

i have to say that i am lucky to have been sent your URL at the beginning of this year, and so have watched your mornings with much pleasure. i've been wondering what on earth could replace you as a homepage, and so i am very pleased to read today that there need be no replacement. your evenings will, i'm sure, be a wonderful trade off. thanks!

oh, and a very big congratulations on the book. :o)

ps: mav, be thankful that i live on another continent, b/c otherwise i might resort to stealing your cat. every time i see that creamy orange fur, i wonder if it is ethical to paint mine! ;o)

wow! how wonderful. i too love your site--and i love princeton architectural press--your book will be beautiful! best holiday wishes....

Congratulations, ladies! We all hoped this project would evolve into something more. And I can't wait to see the new project unfold as well.

Lovely and safe holidays to you both.

Congratulations on the book! How fantastic! I am so happy that you are going to continue on with a new project. It was always one of my little highlights to poke my head into this spot every few days and see your photos. Happy Holidays!

I was hoping you'd publish your photos in a book! Congratulations! I've loved this project all year. Thanks so much for sharing this with us.

Congratulations and a happy new year.

My sister and I have so enjoyed watching what you would show next. There have been many a times that we would call each other and say "Did you see what was on 3191?". Thank you for blessing us with such simple beauty. Looking forward to another/different look on the year to come! God bless!

Every time I've visited your site I've thought there should be a book made. I'm so glad to hear it will be. I'm looking forward to having it:) Thanks for the beauty!

...this beloved project not ending, rather continuing in book form to last f.o.r.e.v.e.r ( i just imagine looking page by page each day, year after year, mmm so good)
...for the anticipation of dreamy evenings, that will inspire my entire day to bring forth a dreamy evening for my family i am sure!

oh! i hope the publishers put all the comments that were left throughout the year....others saw connections i never made, they were so fun to read!!!
congratulations to you both...and thank you for sharing pieces of your world!

Thanks for all!...

I discovered your project a few days ago and I'm so happy it goes on for a year with a new concept. I wish someone would send me a photo a day and force me to take one cos my mornings are so lonely right now...

Wonderful news! I am so happy for you both that your project will be in print; you are both truly wonderful photographers. And awesome news that you will continue with it this coming year, as I really would have missed visiting here everyday. Best of luck, and thank you for continuing on...

I've never posted before, but I have to say how much I've enjoyed 3191, and how thrilled I am that it is to be published, which I know many readers (viewers? lookers? visitors?) have been hoping for. I am looking forward to the new project, which will be a special present for me, as January 15 is my birthday!
Thank you both for bringing so much beauty into our lives...and for helping us see the beauty that is there all the time.

Happy Saturnalia to you both!

Oh! A book! How fantastic. And I'm so happy to hear about the Evenings project, because I was just getting a bit sad over the fact that I won't have this to look forward to each morning. I needn't have worried!

I've been so busy I've missed you two for a while, but I intend to go back and soak things up properly!

And I'm SO glad you'll be doing an evening project, I was wondering what I'd do without you next year.

YESSSSS... I'm so excited there's going to be a book! You'll have to remind everyone closer to time. (A shame we have to wait so long!) I'm so looking forward to the evenings. Thanks so much for doing this project.
