Dear DPC,
3 years ago when I was suffering from horrible depression, I found you. We spent hours upon hours a day together and you helped me to overcome that. You have been there for me despite my ongoing battles with health issues and have helped to raise me out of bed on days when I feel like I just can't go on.
Although my camera and I have stopped seeing each other due to the fact that we just weren't getting along, you still support me, and I am here for you.

Hi DPC,
thankyou so much for the encouragement, advice and support that has enabled me to turn pro and given me such a steep learning curve in such a short amount of time.
There's no way I would be the photographer I am today without DPC, and I love the community that goes with it all.
Without DPC I would not be a photographer, and I would not have found my passion for photography.
Thankyou again (although I'm not so sure how my wife feels!),
Bob :-) |

Dear DPC,
At times you have been so much the true love we all seek our whole lives. Fun to be with, encouraging my pursuits, complimentary to my interests and even heaping on the praise, consoling me when Iâm down, stimulating me.
But then there are times that you are ruthless. Shouting that I do not meet your expectations, that my performance does not meet with your vision of the challenges of life, you make disparaging remarks about my art and leave me depressed for hours on end.
But in the end you offer a new you twice every week. Keeping me satiated with the variety that is the spice of life.
Thank you.

Dear DPC:
I am thinking of suing you for Carpal tunnel problems incurred through excessive monitoring of Dr. Jones' Portfolio. |

Dearest DPC,
Why is it that every waking hour (...in fact, every sleeping hour, too) my thoughts and dreams are consumed with images of you. I cheat on my wife with you. I neglect my job because of you (...as I'm doing this very minute - doh!). I am, in short, obsessed with you.
.......In fact, ...now that I think of it, I HATE you!! You're ruining me, you no good piece of cyber do-do!! You're constantly making me click ...click ...click ...click.
There. I feel better now. I can now go back to work on my Sports challenge entry. My day job can go to hell, for all I care. I have YOU, DPC, my one, my only............ What else is there???

Dear DPC
Thx to you I went from "what is aperture?" to "I'm going to NY for a 4 day shoot all expenses paid!".
You made me learn so much in so little time. For the longest time I was obsessed by you and now we're more like good buddies going out for a beer.
And thx to your sister DPCPrints, I get to sell my photos around the world and help me pay for my vacations!!! :-D
Love always,
Yanik

Dear DPC,
For almost a year now, I have found you to be an invaluable source of photographic input, output, inspiration, knowledge, and help. I have made and lost friends among your links and forum entries. I have met a wonderful, diverse, and fun group of chatters because of my time here. For the most part, my entire experience has been positive and insightful.
However, starting not too long ago, I've noticed that you've changed some. More and more I see negativity creep into you. You've lately started to become sullen and at times, confrontational. You remind me of a teenager that believes the world owes them their existence, and anything they desire. Disappearing is your wit, your humor, your patience, and your sense of schooling. (with a few exceptions). Everywhere I seem to look these days, I see you falling more and more into this state. Your forums are littered with abuse and melancholy. Your challenges full of rule skirters, questionable voting practices, negative commenting, and unimaginative (read: duplicate) topics. Oh.. DPC.. where has the light gone?
All is not lost, however. I still glimpse rays of light in your current flashes of depression and anger. I still see the days where you laugh, where the twinkle shines in your eyes. I still see the days where you emerge from your darkness to show us the true potential that still lives within you. Yes, dear DPC.. not all is lost. Whether you are just going through some growing pains.. or struggling hard to find your own way.. your independence.. your freedom, or whether you'll spiral into a fate that has befallen so many others.. remember that I am with you. I will fight with you, and for you. You are not alone... and there are others that will fight with me.
Dear DPC.. Don't give up the struggle. There is darkness here today.. but the light is not so far away. FIGHT! Let us see it more often. Let us see your forums glow with honesty, with positivity, with helpful suggestions and, most importantly, with patience and common sense. Let your commentors strive to learn, and overcome initial fears and failures.. let your challenges find a way through these dark times.. and grow into a continuing source of insight, inspiration, and.. yes.. humor.. We should never forsake the humor that is inherent in a visual medium, and we should honor it where it appears.
Together, we shall overcome. This is my open letter to you DPC.. that together we can strive ... and emerge better than ever before, and stronger for our weaknesses.

Dear DPC,
In your collective whole, you've rapidly become perhaps my best friend online. I struggle to remember what it was like without you. Like any complex entity, you have your moods and some of them are downright cranky, but in this you only mirror the human condition. I find it easy to ignore the negatives and glory in the positives.
You have a heart big enough to hold the world. I'm glad I came to you.
Robt.

Dear DPC,
I want a refund - you said this would only cost me $25 per year, but by my calculations you have cost me over $2000 in new camera equipment. And if you count my van that broke down on my last DPC outing, that makes it nearly $5000. Damn you!!

Dear DPC:
Remember my last comment? forget it.
you have been a like parent to me... you tell me my work is not appropriate.
you have been a lover to me... you tell me I enter to often but get mediocre reviews.
you have been a friend to me... You answer my questions no matter how stupid they are, albeit grudgingly.
Yuo have been a source of intellectual stimulation and repose from a delightly turbulent and otherwise porn-filled web,
and a source of manic output and connection to like mind people around the globe.
Although I still feel a bit like a stranger,
Thank you,
Paul |

Dear DPC,
I'm with BrianH. Since joining here, I've purchased a 10D, a Rebel, countless accessories, and god knows what else. This site has cost me thousands.
I hope you're happy. I know I am....

Dear DPC,
I use to wake up at night just to have a smoke, now I wake up at night to have a quick look at your beauty and then I have a smoke.

Dear DPC,
Came on holiday here over a year ago. Been wandering around ever since. Friendly locals. Plenty to do and see. Pleasantly cheap entertainment. Took me an age to find the 'facilities' though. Should be signposted better, I think (D&L?). Here they are for any other desperate folk:-

Dear DPC,
I have to cut you off - my wife is starting to suspect. Besides, from the looks of this thread it is apparent that you have been sleeping around quite a bit.
Thanks for the memories.
ps - Same time tomorrow?
