As cute as your nieces are, I much prefer weeks 28, 30 and 32 - 28 is a
lovely intergenerational moment, nice composition and mood in 30, and 32
is nicely ironic and well composed....And how did that boat get into
that field? :-)

Hello LUG

I unsubscribed a few weeks ago. 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:

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
