As i'm one of the new ones, Cyn refered to (those, needing the assistance she offers .. thanks by the way, you're doing very fine dear Cyn! :) huggles ... uhmm, almost lost my context .. and as it's not easy for me to tell that in english, i can just say "i understand your feelings Michelle". I'm just wondering, why so many people (including myself more than once) try to hurt themselfes in times, where it's hard enough without that habbit? Some months ago, i teared down my own forum which at that time ran for 3 years, deleted my own gal over there .. Anyways, this is not about me, it's about you. Thank you for that posting, you're offering a lot of what makes you the person you are. I can just quote jacoggins in offering an ear and a shoulder. And by the way: your work doesn't suck at all!! One of your photos is the reason i'm here, the reason i'm taking pictures and trying to learn .. learning to (hopefully) do such great shots myself someday. hugz, Tom :) PS Dave, if you read this: i adore your work. Please take your time .. all the time you need, but i'm missing your shots and the person behind. You're a great one .. all the best to you!
