You're sounding guilty mate ;-) Happy new year.
And by all means have Bill's baby. Cot On 1/1/17, Larry Colen, discombobulated, unleashed: >First of all to Doug, who does the core heavy lifting that makes this >list possible. Also, to the staff of the PDML Annual who do an >incredible amount of work to put out my annual dose of humility. > >I'd also like to express my appreciation to the list in general. While I >will never be as good of a photographer as I was 40 years ago in high >school, the examples and feedback on this list has proven crucial for >what improvement I've made in my own work over the past few years. >Anyone who as spent any amount of time on pretty much any of the other >online photography fora should quickly recognize the exemplary level of >technical expertise here. Most other places it seems that people who >have just learned how a fast lens and wide aperture will give narrow >depth of field pontificate at length to people who have just moved from >taking photos with a smart phone to a DSLR. > >While the work of each member of the list isn't alway "my cup of tea", >looking at examples, and reading feedback on them is incredibly helpful >when I'm working on a photo that isn't in one of my accustomed style. >Just being able to look at a scene that lends itself to someone else's >style is a tremendous shortcut to enabling me to get a photo that >doesn't entirely suck. > >However, the thing that makes this list so special is not technical help >but the people. While we have our differences, they pale in comparison >to what we have in common, made ever so much precious by the >geographical diversity of the list. Coming from a time when calls to >grandparents 120 miles away were expensive enough that they were rare, >and short, I consider having friends all over the world invaluable. And, >you are all truly friends. Your joys and hardships affect me as much as >those of my friends who I might see in person every week or two. Thank >you all for your contributions to a community that is ever so important >to me. > > >-- Larry Colen [email protected] (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc > > >-- >PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List >[email protected] >http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net >to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and >follow the directions. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ Broadcast, Corporate, || (O) | Web Video Production ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
