Will everyone please help me in welcoming our beloved Misha883 as the new Photography Forum & Gallery Coordinator!! Misha came to the forum in November of 2001 and has been a helpful gallery and forum regular ever since. I know that he will be a helpful addition to us and to you, with any question or problems you may have. Brave, brave Misha! It's a pleasure to have you on board, and you make a fine addition to the Renderosity Team! Hugz!

I am, therefore I create.......

I still don't really know, what a coordinator has to do, but we'll see that soon enough :). And as he is someone who knows what to do with a camera and seems to be a nice guy, i'll gladly welcome him! Good luck with your new responsibillities Misha and congrats from me! Raven / Thomas

A coordinators responsibilities within their choosen area will be whatever the moderators of that forum need them to be....so there really are no specific duties layed out.... Basically they're here to help us out in whatever way we feel necessary. Some of the forums & galleries tend to get really busy, including the Photography area. He'll be my second set of eyes both here and in the gallery, and he'll be running the ship should I not be able to be here, (like vacations) and such.... sort of like the first mate is to the captain... :~) Another advantage is that it also helps free up my time a bit to work more on the backroom, challenges, and contests areas.... Hope that helps clear things up a bit Raven! :~)

Thanks for the clarification Captain Michelle! bows :) Another congrats to Misha, photography-mate 1st grade!

Congrats to you Misha, We are excited to have you on the team of Coordinators :] ladynimue

Congratulations, Misha!!! :) hands Misha the honorary target to place on her head or back ;) j/k It's gonna be a fun, wild ride and it takes a brave soul to step up to the plate. Here's to a long and satisfying relationship with RO! :)

Congratulations Misha. I am sure You will handle the Helm...while Michelle wields the Paddle...sigh...

Pictures appear to me, I shoot them.   Elliot Erwitt

Ah!!! The paddle! I do hope I can help. 'Chelle has been shouldering a lot these last few months, so I'm hoping to help. I had not heard about this mating part, but I guess if that is part of the job I'm up for it. Once we get all of the e-mail stuff worked out I would certainly appreciate as much help as you-all can offer. I try to check out the Gallery thumbs at least once a day, and I guess now I'll be opening up quite a few more of them. [Hope 'osity gets faster...] Should there be any issues that do not require Michelle's immediate attention, please forward them to me.

& to think when i first started here i thought Misha did work here & now he does!!! congrats! a fine choice hugz

Guess it is better than at my real job; where I do work, but no one thinks I do...

Misha, you fool!! What have you done?!! Can't you see what this means? You didn't sign anything did you? Oh, how could you have fallen into this sweet little trap? Oh, sure ... it starts of innocently enough. An e-mail here, watch the gallery there. Then it's a foot-rub or two, fetching of coffee and cookies, fluffing of the pillow. The next thing you know, it's the sweet kiss of the paddle if you dare look her in the eye! uhhhhh ..... ooooo .... you know, that doesn't sound like such a bad deal now that I think about it. Oooooooooo ... and don't forget the strawberry kiwi massage oil .... ooooo. :P~~~ Where was I? Oh, never mind. Congrats Misha! The Raven-haired one couldn't have picked a better person. Manly hug and high five. :) -=>Donald

Dear Misha. Congratulations with your new task on this forum. I am sure you will do a great job :-) Hugs, Madeleine

Congrats Misha! Michelle has chosen very well... you're a helpful photography-mate. Ever appreciated your Forum entries and of course your artworks in your gallery. You will do a great job. Good luck to your new responsibillities, Misha! Greetz, Monika

He always was a brown-nosing little crawler..... So he deserves it! Well done, studley! (",)

Congrats Misha! Glad you're on the team!!

Hey, Jordy's back!

Not quite, Misha, it's just a vicious rumour going around.... (",)

Egads - hugest apologies over the gender mix-up ;) The last Misha I knew was a gurl :) And male or female - the congrats still stand :)

Congrats Misha and congrats Michelle :)
