Oh Dear.... I never liked goodbyes, and this one is not going to be any easier....  I am quite surprised and very sad that you are chosing to leave us here at RR... although for whatever reasons you may have, I do respect that it is on your own accord.  I wish I could be selfish and ask you to stay...?? But I guess you have made up your mind.  I'd like to tell you how much I appreciated and admired your contributions here.  Your artwork is fantastic, and words in this case, sadly can't describe how much I did enjoy all your posts, I really and truly did.  Perhaps I didn't comment all that much as I would have liked to, but you should definitely know that I was up on the nines with your work and did look forward to your every post.  
I wish you peace, health and happiness with your future endeavours.  I hope that you don't cease your work in photography, because that would make me even sadder to see such tremendous talent go unexposed.  
Blessings Dear Friend,
Tofi
