Hi Everyone,

It's a year to the day since I joined the forum.

I just wanted to say a bg thank you to everyone for all the help and encouragement you've given me over the past months. I've really enjoyed using the Forum, reading what you write and looking at your wonderful photographs.

When I think of the thousands of images I've taken during my life which lie forgotten in boxes or fading in albums...at least now, my pictures get to be seen by you folks.

Here's to the next twelve months!

Happy Christmas to you all and a healthy, productive new year with lots of photo opportunities.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Without wanting to set an overly mawkish tone, I would like to thank you for the inspirational images that you have posted over the year, and for the help and advice dished out.
Cheers Andrew!

Well Andrew, you've made a big impression. A few months ago you were the whipping boy for all those who take objection to politely worded and encouraging comments. Now you're being rightly lauded for rising above it all, and doing things your way - both in your photography and the exemplary way you conduct yourself on this forum.

Have a great Xmas and a happy and photographically fruitful 2011!

Andrew

Whether you realise it or not - you and many others like you - make this forum what it is....and for me - joining was one of the better decisions I made this year!

So - just to add to your sentiments - a big thank you from me to all who have offered me encouragement, advice and inspiration this year - including you Andrew

Happy Christmas

Is it only a year Andrew? It seems like you have been with us for ages, and most welcome you are too. More than 1600 posts and a portfolio of quality photos, not bad in 12 months.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I joined a few weeks after you then, Andrew, and I have to say it's been a pleasure seeing your input to the forum, even though I have been critical and no doubt an annoyannce sometimes!

Best wishes for the festive season, and I look forward to seeing what the New Year brings forth from your K10! Have to say though, that Kenlock lens looks like it needs upgrading to go with your new camera!

Wow, only a year!? I always look forward to seeing your pics, and I can generally pick them out from the Gallery thumbnails as well. Let's hope 2011 is a good'un!
