yet another POTN refugee

[Violator31]

Hello,
I used to visit POTN everyday & felt like I knew dozens of the "regulars", then my job changed & I didn't get there very often at all. I checked in every other week or so just to see what was new around there. I just clicked on the link & now I feel "gutted". It's really weird how something like that can become such a part of you. It said it had been running for 22 years, I wish I could get a look at my "stats" there, I bet I was there close to 20 of those years.
*****
Moving forward....
I don't get my camera out enough, but I have been into photography since the mid 70's. Just a casual photographer with decent gear. I have made a few dollars working reunions, weddings & the like, but I'm just here for the fun.
I love to see the photos others, much more talented than myself, take & share. I will, occasionally, ask questions & possibly beg for assistance with some random issue with gear, or in PS.
Photoshop is another passion, but since the camera isn't used enough my PS capabilities (purposely avoided the word "talent") have rusted a little.
I am looking forward to meeting new people & crossing paths with people I have met before.

Welcome, welcome, welcome

Many of us were caught out by Pekka's decision.
But what can you do....?




Thankfully, some exceedingly talented people have started up FoP, sent up some fireworks, and we've all come with open hearts to establish a new forum full of the Good, the Bad & in my case, the Ugly

See you in the threads,

Simon

Hello Paul, welcome to Focus on Photography. You will indeed see a lot of familiar names and faces as most active POTN members moved here, but new members are also joining us now and so we are growing. I hope to see you on the board!
