It is a huge privilege for me to congratulate PJ (MrsLubner) as GOM for August 2011. She has done so much for the Photography Community as well as many other communities on RR and her photography is always a pleasure to enjoy. PJ had inspired many new members over the years to grow and develop.
Warm congratulations my friend! You thoroughly deserve this honor! xxx

Good heavens... I'm flattened. I thank you and the other staff for this. I'm really rather speechless - and as you know, that's an unusual state of being for me. LOL

PJ...your gallery has always been an inspiration to me!
This is a wonderful selection!
I marvel every week trying to figure out how you get so much done and continue to add first class photos to you own gallery week after week.

Congratulations PJ. You deserve to have this honour for being selected for artist of the month for August 2011. Thank you for all your hard work as well here at Renderosity. God Bless.

I feel so good to have all of you congratulate me...especially since so many of you have gone before me and had this honor. Perhaps that means I am growing and learning from all that you do.

Well, for heaven's sake! You could have knocked me over with a feather. Not because you're the GOM, but that you are just now receiving the honor! It's long overdue. When I first joined Renderosity and began posting in the photography gallery, you were one of my first inspirations. I studied your work, hoping to one day approach something like your skill level. I've learned a lot of tricks of the trade since then, but I still look to your gallery with admiration, and for continuing inspiration and technique. You have so much artistic courage! You're willing to try new things, do something different, present your subject in a unique way ... can I use the word "inspiring" again??
I'm so glad to see you as our GOM for August. Enjoy every day of it ... you're beyond deserving of this honor.

Wonderworld, we go back a long way. Remember I asked how you did the shot for your avatar? :-) I told you then, that I looked up to you as a very accomplished photographer and that one day I hoped to be half as good as you. Well, maybe I'm about there...half as good. Thank you for your warm thoughts.
Juliette, your work is so original and thank you so much for such kind words. You give me new things to reach for with your work.

Just keep being my friend, Costa. That's my inspiration these days. You show me how and where to get great street shots and it's given me a new direction to investigate.

PJ, I've been away from RR so much, I've barely looked at all that's posted. But I started to look more deeply this morning and saw that you'd been chosen GOM for August! You are a truly terrific inspiration to many people, PJ, 1) for your wonderful gallery, and 2) because of your work in at least two forums. I've always loved your gallery & the only reason I haven't commented more is that I can barely catch up with the people I've known since the beginning, I've missed so many terrific artists here, and believe me you are one. So it's no reflection on your work , which I think is wonderfully human, warm, and deeply photographic.
And you've done so much otherwise---I wholly second Bill's remark. I've loved your work in this Forum, and then you took over 2D and have brought it back with such class. If you look at my "Posts" under my avatar, almost all of those were 2D (from a few years back), and it's just wonderful to see you've taken over & brought such quality to it. I'll get back there too. Great work everywhere, PJ.
In conclusion, you're tireless, you always seem so supportive of artists in general, and you post wonderful, human & beautiful photography. Congratulations & I wish you great inspiration in the future. A pleasure to see you get GOM...it's wholly deserved. Mark
