My letter to DPC - DPChallenge Forums

Since it's trending and all... ;)

Dear DPC

I have been a part of this site for a few years now and have meet some REALLY nice people. Some even in person! I have learned more from this website than I have ever learned in school, or any other website. My ability as a photographer has DRASTICALLY improved and I owe it to you guys! PROOF! I finally got my first ribbon not too long ago and again, all because of you guys encouraging me and making me want that damn thing so badly! There are some people here who I don't agree with on a lot of things but I tend to like them a lot even though we don't see eye to eye on things (

Cory for example). But then there are some people here who I can't wait to see what they come up with next (

Art Roflmao for example). Then I have the people who help encourage me even though I don't think they know it (

Gyaban and

Ja-9 for example). Then there are people I have learned more from about photography and cameras than I thought was possible for me to learn (

MelonMusketeer for example). I can go on and on about the people here but I don't think you all would care all that much if I did that. But before I go, I do want to list a few more people (and something nice about them) that have made this place good enough to stick around for a while longer...

Jagar - For being one of the most talented street photographer of today's time. And for making me want to go out and shoot every time I look through your portfolio.

FourPointX - For being willing to buy me a drink whenever we actually end up meeting. (yes, I'm still holding you to that. Lol.)

sherpet - For always putting a smile on my face when I read something of yours! Your strength and courage always makes me feel good inside!

PennyStreet - For when we were in DPL together and always making me want to go shoot more and more because you always had a ton of outtakes!

MAK - For always having a cool photo to look at, but also the occasional funny one. ;)

Yo_Spiff - Grog... Need I say more? Lol.

DrAchoo - For being such a nice guy when I have medical questions! And for being "the other religious guy." Lol.

Roz and

IreneM - Putting you both together because you both are crazy good and inspiring to me! just wish you would be a little more active in challenges so that I can see more of your work! ;)

I can go on and on, I swear! I just thought since it's trending that I would go ahead and post my thoughts. Lol.

:)

Sigh, looks like I'm chopped liver too. Unappreciative little snot! Dude, I thought we had a moment there when we were ranting about Moodle.

You have something better to do than "go on and on"? Last I heard you're laid up in a bed on the dope. Sounds like you've got lots of time.

We're waiting...

Where is your letter to DPC, if you think it's needed to praise every single person on DPC. I don't see it! I'm waiting... :P

That will require its own thread. I would hate for Marko's thread to derail.

I just thought I would say some nice things about people.. I guess it back fired when I didn't want to spend 3 hours writing about everyone that I think it cool on here. Lol.

Oh well, you all knew my intentions. ;)
