Yes, Happy Birthday to us all! I learned about FYC, and was invited to join, in a pm from..........wait for it!........Billy, who was sitting in Manila airport awaiting a flight to the UK.

Interesting enough, unkind words elsewhere by W/R are what drew me in here, and now I don't seem to be leaving.

Looking through some of my old collections, I can see themes, unconventional but there, but I've been more intentional about it since discussions here.

I am one of those who have come in and out over most of the past two years, spending more time reading than posting but getting involved to some degree. Lately I have not been on UHH much at all and even less in FYC. Life has taken me in new directions but my photography is still a major part of it. Happy Birthday to a forum of wonderful, thoughtful and expressive people who have taught me a lot about this art form that we all enjoy.

Thanks for chiming in Andrea. We all participate in the way that works for us, and that may change over time. Come by when you can!

Thanks Dave. I haven't felt very novel lately but I hope I can get some new ideas soon. We all have creative fits and spurts, and creative doldrums. Having a strong community of like minded friends helps get through the slow times.

Glad you're hanging around! There is room for lots of diversity here, and there is no end to what we can learn from bouncing ideas off each other, from the newbies to the lifetime pros.

I hope to post some more pictures soon. Currently I am in Montana traveling all over and won't be able to look at anything until I get home next week.

My goodness, this image is something I hope to accomplish before I die, but doubt I will. Superb whites, wonderful mids, and rich blacks--no wonder the grant came your way. Where/when is the gallery showing? Will there be a brochure or other publication? Will you be selling any prints? My god, it's beautiful. Thank you. Matt
