Hello everybody,

I was a member two years in a row and it was great. I really love this site. I would like to continue my DPC adventure as a member but the formalities are "killing" me. I can't get a PayPal account and so on... I have the money but it's useless :(. Maybe I could send the money to someone to buy the membership and send back the code...

Dylan ( shalrath) has been taken care of. Well, not "taken care of" in that Mafia kind of sense, but in the now he has a gift membership kinda sense. But you knew that, right? :-)

Thanks to all those who stuck their hands up for me! And of course, a big thanks to the WONDERFUL Deb Melethia for "taking care of me"... I can still feel the scars!

Here's a thread from me to say thanks! clicky

If you still need someone to consider...... I promise to play fair and will do 100% comments in next free study to help work it off! I gave up my membership a little over a month ago, moneys been tight and I could not justify spebding on a membership but I really miss the free studies. Membership or not thanks to all those who we all see helping others with memeberships, advice, tips and prayers.

I have been a member since July '07. My paid membership expires Sept. 2, '08. This past year has been filled with hardships for me, both personally and financially. DPC is one of the main things I look forward to each week. I would be so grateful for a gift membership, but if I am not selected I will scrape up the money anyway! Thank you to those who have generously donated memberships for others!

Well, it's hard to find the right words to say here. I don't want to sound desperate or like I'm sucking up, nor do I want to sound like I'm "cocky"...

So I'm just going to thank sherpet for starting this up, and talj, codfish, and outafocus for making this possible for more users.

Good luck to all. Really some great talent nominated here. Everyone here deserves it.

Well, as you can see I only really enter freestudies these days, thats due to me having to look after my kids, and I cant provide much for them, but a little hope, and a little joy, I just love to see their little faces light up when they click that `update` button for their dear old Pa. And the joy on their bruised little faces when they see me finish 42nd out of 500 always makes my heart sing.

So if you feel you can donate a free membership, remember, its not really for me, its for the kids... thanks.

Thanks to a very generous gesture, ambaker has just given me a free membership!! I truly can't thank you enough :)

And thanks to those that are being so kind as to give these memberships out.

You so deserve it, and were on my short list as a gift membership.
I also wish to say thank you very much for all your kindness to me and appreciate your support very much. THANK YOU & also THANK YOU to Alex ambaker

I dont want to take focus away from this thread, its a wonderful gesture and I applaud those that have followed Sherryl's, Sherpet, initiative. I believe its a wonderfully kind thing she has started here.

It has also recently come to my attention that she has had a stroke of bad luck (see thread here) ) As of now I dont believe it is known the cost of repairs to her camera or if insurance will cover it fully, but I was thinking that with the same generosity and kindness that she has demonstrated, some of us could help with the cost above and beyond the insurance to help her. I will start by pledging the cost of a membership to go towards her old 350D or towards an upgrade. Unfortunately, donating a membership is simple, donating money for a camera is a litle more complicated, I do have a paypal account that I can use to receive donations and send out from, however if someone has a better way to do this I would be greatful for the idea.

That is one of his children he was talking about ... I feel for you Mark ! ;-)

I think outafocus had a wonderful idea. Sherpet regularly goes out of her way to make DPC a nicer place, anything we can do to reward her kindness would be very well deserved. Any suggestions to make it easier to do?

Good thinking ! If its going to cost Shez then I would be more than willing to put in.
Shez is not only a great Photog but a wonderful lady who has supported me through thick and thin.

Perhaps she has or can get a paypal account of her own? However it works out, count me in...

I am so very moved by all your support and especially the way you have come together to help me. I would like to keep this thread just for the '4 Gift Memberships', as we still need more to apply. I really do appreciate all that you are doing for me.

Here is a link with an update of what is happening to me at the moment.

UPDATE from shez

Thank you so much..... I am truly blessed.

Where is everybody today, and where are all the new nominations for a gift membership...... Do any of the members know of someone to nominate, as we would love to have some more names please.

Due to me going into hospital tomorrow, just for the day, I am going to extend this until the end of the month. I think we need more time, and also hopefully more people nominating.

I have a name to add to the list myself, and that is a very loyal DPC user, and a very good photographer as well.....

Giorgio is his user name and here are his stats.....

George has a style all of his own.
Images with 'emotion', excellent 'composition', and the love of all things photography.



All the best to you George.
