I was a little annoyed with some of the off-topic chatter, the "cliquish" and self-serving dialogue, and the general meandering of the group, etc. More to the point, I posted 5 PAW's in a row, and got zero -- nada -- feedback. I'm under no delusions that I'm the next HBC, or anything close, but I do think I have something to offer. And I really do appreciate feedback -- laudatius or otherwise. The lack of response is worse than negative (and hopefully constructive) feedback. It's like talking to a dead phone line.... However, I have been checking the LUG archives, and looking at the posts. I've skipped over the more off-topic messages (which admittedly can be quite entertaining and educational), stayed away from the vitriolic political threads, and checked all the PAW and photograph postings I could. The truth is I have valued the feedback I have received in the past, and knowing I had an "obligation" to keep up my PAW activities for the LUG kept me active with my camera (no small challenge with rebuilding a career and 3 kids...). So I'm back. And to put my money where my keyboarding is, I've posted a PAW: http://members.rogers.com/jmcdesigns/jamesstreet/2004-33.htm Slam away, lambaste me for using my nieces and daughter as convenient subjects, but please, let me know you took the time to view my work, and by all means let know what I can do to improve. No photographer should work in vacuum...except to remove the dust from the negatives! ciao... Jim
