Jan Faul is Alive and Well

    I  was reminded of a larger than life character that was often very
    vocal on this list. A man with more than the kind of ego it takes to
    survive in this business. I was just on his website and again, very
    impressed with the imagery. 

    May the road rise up to meet brother Jan.

    
    I once had the opportunity to address the South African Institute of
    Professional Photographers. An audience of around 150. I asked them:
    "Who here believes he's the best photographer in this room?"

    
    About 100 people raised their hands.

    I said "That's impossible... I'm the best photographer in this
    room!"

    
    But in many ways they were all correct. You have to believe in
    yourself to continue to go out there and sell your work.

          I think the list has been somewhat quite because this
            time of the year, and unlike nature that rests during the
            winter, we are “resting” and preparing to come to life when
            the weather is more cooperative.
           
          I read almost all comments, but don’t comment myself;  I
            think that is akin to laziness on my part{:->

            Have you ever wished you could tell your childhood self a
            thing or two about growing up?

            Would the knowledge you know now have saved you from
            learning things the hard way?

          I have been on the list for years and
                I remember many of the things you mention.  Mostly I
                study the submissions and comments so I can learn.

                
                A couple weeks ago I submitted a photo to the gallery. 
                I never saw a comment on any of the submissions that
                week.  

                
                I hope that this list doesn't go away as the EOS list
                out of the Netherlands has.

            I was thinking about the days when the list
              was very active with much comment and discussion.  So, I
              am wondering how many current members were here for the
              sometimes heated discussions on FIDO, DIDO etc. ? 

              Refresher:  talk about photographer "reveal" and formats,
              definitions and terminology.  Much of which is still
              basically unresolved.
