    Aaron,

    Just saw this thread and I'm sorry you will be dropping out for awhile. I've always enjoyed your work over in Landscapes and your inspiration will be missed.

    well someone gotta volunteer....thumb.gif

    anyway, dont'cha hate it when you dont know what happens to people after they have been around awhile and then just stop posting and entering challenges......

    well atleast i can let you in on my story...
    im having one of those times in life where its all thrown at me….
    All this started a few months ago, but now its in full bloom…. Just like spring, haha
    Starting a new career with a new company, picking up and moving back to my homeland of Salt Lake City.
    *Con, displacement for kids for awhile…
    *Pro, getting back to see all our friends weekly/monthly instead of every couple of years…
    (its been a tuff go in St.George without our close friends)
    *Con, we lost all of our equity on the sale of our home.
    *Pro, we can pick up a home in Salt Lake at someone elses loss…(we will see how that goes)
    *Con, new job, many more hours, how in the world would I be able to continue my photography workshop plans? Or even photography in general….
    *Pro, I will be able to retire much earlier than planned…and get back into photography slowly? (where will photography be in ten years?) (of course pending my 401 & pcra stocks come back before 10yrs…wow that’s mind numbing, lets not go there…)

    I will miss ya all, your support here has been wonderful…. I hope to check in…. but im sure it will be limited.

    Why did you have to bring up 401(k)s... :cry

    Good luck in your endeavors, and don't stray too far from the camera. For me work is just the thing I do between taking photos. You're taking a gamble trading today for tomorrow, I hope it works out!

    Yeah, definitely don't stray far from your camera. You can always bring it to work with you and photograph something on the way to or from work. mwink.gif

    Glad everything is OK.

    We miss you too!

    Glad I checked in here and saw this! Aaron, here's hoping that even once you're busy in the new job the photographic muse will still lure you back into dgrin - it just wouldn't be the same without you!

    Good luck with what must be frantic preparations right now as you getcherself across the state. Good luck with it all, and please DO pop in with an update from time to time (like, you know, "Hi I'm doing great" - doesn't even have to have a photgraph included! :D)

    Second!

    Don't work too hard Aaron, take the time to shoot something (anything!) every now and then and be sure to post the results :D

    Good luck!
    Creativity's hard.

    To the winners of the Mini challenges.....

    Note the word mini.
    A month long challenge of mostly pre existing photos seems a bit long to me.

    I'm just saying.

    For what its worth:

    Not sure if everything is grammatically correct but it is easy to understand.
    The only suggestion I could make, is to move the new sentence over that it doesn't fall under your number sequence. That would just to make it easier to read.

    g

    hope that helps

    :D .

    just attempt in some humor and maybe get the attention of the smart people for some help in proof reading...

    just an FYI, a while back (months ago) I was needing someone to take this thread over and keep things updated and running. well now it looks like I need that help again, but if this time nobody steps up it will just fade away, and that would be a shame......

    if anyone is interested PM me please.

    Ok I looked at your post.

    Under Guidelines, lines 5 & 6, you forgot the apostrophe for don't.

    Under Un-official
    #1 If you have any questions....reword what's next--don't know exactly what you are trying to say.

    #4 (also under same category) try passed instead of pasted and also again "don't" with apostrophe.

    It was quick read, don't know if I missed anything. It makes sense as is, but you were pretty persistent about wanting corrections. Great! exactly what I want to do on my lunch hour after reading all day:) .
