    Default Leaving BPN

    I wanted to let everyone know that I am resigning as moderator of the OOTB Forum. I have had a great run here on BPN and have made many life-long friends. I have been inspired by many of you including and especially the late Dave Phillips. It is a sad day for me but I leave with lots of happy memories . I wish everyone lots of happiness and success with their photography. The folks in OOTB have been like a second family to me; I hope that we can all stay connected online.

    I'm in shock. I'm sad. I wish it weren't so.
    This is a huge loss for the BPN community.
    I hope your leaving means you have many, many other photographic endeavors. I understand that one must move on and take the next step in one's life. I wish you the very best, and I hope to be able to continue to enjoy and benefit from your marvelous images on your blog.

    Denise,

    As the music lyric goes: "You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone ..."

    That's how a lot of us at BPN feel right now.
