I'll remind everyone once again that these are not photos I took. All credit and my genuine appreciation to those photographers who have, over the years, made such an effort to take photos and then share them.
I realize that, by posting from my personal collection, I am not only re-posting the work of others, but that I have actually made changes to their original photos in many cases -- cropping, zooming, improving the lighting, etc.
None of this has been done maliciously, I do not retouch the photos, and I most certainly do not claim they are my own.
Unfortunately, since I just download, make my adjustments and store the photos, I really have no way of thanking each photographer individually. But to every one of them, my applause and respect.
And for you, D (K), you've been my hero on this board for years. Although this is actually my first effort at posting photos, I have admired your efforts and contributions. I understand your reasons for trying to regain a sense of balance in your life and I respect your decision. But I will certainly miss your contributions here.
