This is to let everyone know that within the next few days I will be shutting my website (http://www.greensphotoimages.com) down. The primary reason is due to a medical issue with my hands. Without boring you with all the details, it is a degenerative nerve condition that Mayo and other specialists admittedly cannot do anything about other than use medication to help manage the pain. So, after much wrestling and waffling. I decided to eliminate the website because it was the most demanding and the least necessary. In conclusion, and in brief, I would like to share with you the following reasons for sending this email:
1) As a courtesy and to avoid unnecessary confusion for anyone attempting to visit my site. Since I receive many emails from MOU and MNBIRD members after each posting of images, I thought it would be appropriate to let you know, that is those interested. 2) Even though I will not be maintaining a website, I will be actively and frequently pursuing my love of bird photography. I will also continue to share my images at no charge to non profit organizations (e.g. MOU, etc.) for educational purposes. For inquiries, please email me (see address provided below). 3) I will be sending out a small sampling of the best images from each new batch that I process. I will keep the lot size to around 4 or 5 images and sized appropriately for email. The file overhead should be manageable by most ISP's. So, if you are interested in being on the distribution list, send me your email address. 4) I want to thank all of you who have visited my site and provided great feedback and encouragement via email. Many thanks go to those especially who have helped me with Id'ing various birds and wildlife prior to posting, as well as recommended corrections after. Again, thanks to everyone who has visited my site.
