I wanted to take a moment to say a brief, but heartfelt, good-bye to everyone here at OOTB. Over the last two years I received more than I gave, learned a lot about myself and my photography, and met some wonderful, wonderful people. At least for now, I'm leaving BPN - for the simple reason that time doesn't allow me to spend the time here that the forum deserves in offering critiques, reflecting on critiques given, and, perhaps most importantly, fostering the friendships that build the sense of community so integral to a forum like this. I know that I see some of you on FB now and and then (it doesn't offer the insights or the keen criticism...but it does allow for continued connectivity!), and I would welcome hearing from any of you that want to drop me a line now and then via e-mail (coachjohn57@sbcglobal.net). I wish everyone here the best of everything...thank you for having allowed me to be part of your passion for photography over the last two years. Keep chasing the light!
