I've been here for quite some time and I enjoy the different points of view. I actually miss "some" of the verbal firefights! I do not post my views on the Gallery due to the fact that even thought I majored in Art in School most of what is considered Art escapes me. I'm sure that some of it is my fault. I don't post to the Gallery due to the fact my work is very commercial... I make people look good. It works for me and it works for my customers. I expect to enjoy this Forum for as long as it (and I) exist. On 12/20/2014 4:23 PM, Andrew Davidhazy

Dear PhotoForum list members, I was contemplating the passage of time today. This list has been operating for about 20 years - can’t remember the exact start date. It has been a bumpy road over the years. I hope the time spent on looking after it has been of of use to you all. While its underlying PR purpose was to raise awareness of RIT that never really worked out. So it became my personal project to try to be of service to photographers near and far. I must admit that there have been many stressful times over the years. I think they are responsible for at least a few white hairs on my head or beard. Maybe also in yours! The gallery is a couple of years younger and it took up Friday night or Saturday morning time getting the “show” together. 18 years of Saturday mornings. The expectation was that it would be a useful adjunct to the list chatter. I think “social media” and the explosion of the Internet since 1994 or so has provided other avenues for communication and exchange. This has probably made PhotoForum less relevant I am sure. However, with your cooperation, collaboration and contributions I hope we can keep this activity going for as long as it serves a useful purpose. Andrew Davidhazy RIT - Prof. ret. -- Russ R.E.
