Dear friends!
This must be immodestly... but...
At the 9 of March I'll be 50...
And of course, like in childhood, I'll be waiting for gifts and presents...
Spasibo in advance....
Yours,

    Yuri,

    First you get wishes:

    The wish of continued good health, so that you can continue doing what you love and do so well. (Portrait photography for sure, but you have many talents.)

    The wish of family and friends. May you always be appreciated and loved.

    The wish of plentitude. May you enjoy an abundance of those things important in life.

    The wish of faith. May you always believe in yourself, and may you always believe in the good of the world and the Universe (and a Higher Power, if you are of a religious faith.)

    ... And finally, the wish of joy. May you always know the kind of joy and happiness that you bring to us so regularly, with your portraits, and the kind of joy that allows you to see such beauty in the first place.

    If you send me your address, via private message is OK, I'll send you two American coins, A Sacagawea, golden dollar, and a Susan B. Anthony dollar coin.





    Happy Birthday,

    9th march
    I join ziggy53 to the wishes he made.
    But, for me, the most important is HEATH.
    May it be always with you. Birthday or no birthday.
    I will not wish you Happy Birthday, yet.
    It brings bad luck to do so before the date.:D
    Myself, I am a little bit older: 57.
    But 50 is the half century.clap.gif
    Join your friends and celebrate as I did. 1drink.gif
    Best regards and... good HEATH !...thumb.gifthumb.gif

    Yuri,

    I just sent a Birthday Card and the coins to the address you provided. I sent it, "Airmail Letter Post" and I would give it 7-10 days from today for arrival. (It may miss your actual birthday. :cry )

    Please accept this as a token of gratitude for what you have given to me and to the DGrin community for sharing your portraits, your time and your talent.

    Best,

    If I could sing by typing, I'd sing you a song of celebration...

    Happy Birthday! And thanks for all of your great posts! May the second 50 years be even more prosperous than the first.

    amazing what google can do these days:D

    Assuming that sends birthday greetings, I'll add mine and my appreciation for all the wonderful portraits you inspire us with.

    in California-speak, happy b-day

    Every time I take a picture of my boy I think about your portraits. Hopefully that's at least a little gift...

    I knew, of course, that trees and plants had roots, stems, bark, branches and foliage that reached up toward the light. But I was coming to realize that the real magician was light itself.

    Dear DGriners!
    Cant find the right words to say THANK YOU for all your kindest congratulations and wishes.
    I'm realy happy having such good friends all over the world. I also wish you good health, love and peace.
    Wish you a lot of money - so you could buy all your cameras, lenses, flashes and so on...
    Spasibo,

    Don't feel old! "Old" is just an semantic trap. Sometimes I feel old when talking to a highschool kid at work or a first year student at university, and I'm only turning 22 in a few days. My father is pushing 60, but I'm pretty sure he's REALLY 90, complaint-wise.

    Happy birthday Yuri, I hope it's a great time for you! Make sure someone's taking pictures of YOU just this once! :)

    Yuri, from now on, depending on whom you are addressing, you are old for a day (your birthday), after that....................

    GET BACK TO WORK!

    Are you 50 yet? I mean the date has come and gone and I haven't seen any photos of the celebration. Maybe the celebration hasn't stopped?
