The Fine Art of Photography

A big apology

Caroline Gorka Caroline Gorka 921 posts

It was my hope and intention to help revive this wonderful group, but due to recent, horrendous work conditions ..including assaults and Special Incident Police being required on my ward, with the result that I have come home each night exhausted.
I will bow out now, so I am no longer raising hopes, or wasting time….I don’t have the time or motivation at present to go through pages and pages of submissions – I hope Patrick and/or Mark can do so.

I love photography, and understand why people want this ..as I do/did too …but I want to have my few days off taking photographs – not sitting in front of a computer…I hope you understand that.

I can relate Caroline – I hope you find time to recharge your energy through creativity… this is a great group and I trust it will regain its momentum eventually : )

I’m sure it will Rachel – I hope people will continue to submit work…....and getting the most out of the group through learning and developing (sorry for the pun) and being inspired through looking at the wonderful art here…until such time that moderators can keep up with the demands of it’s members.

Thank you..

It’s totally ok – I’m in a similar situation – you can’t give up your own work to run a group… I hope that this group will be able to continue, but it has to be possible for whoever takes on the moderating job to actually do it :)))

Absolutely !

It would also help if people submitting please re-read the rules before doing so …...anyway, I’m no longer a moderator, so won’t go into that any more..

dear cas – so sorry to hear you have had such a lot of stress in your non-RB life and perfectly well understand you wanting to spend your downtime taking photographs instead of moderating a group. I think it;s a huge job and have nothing but respect for those prepared to take it on., I know I couldn’t. Thanks for trying to resurrect this group – look after yourself.

Thanks Nadine …I must get a nicer job…

I’m going away at the end of September for a few days ..and I’ll hopefully take something worthy of submitting ..and then moan like hell when nothing happens to it lol
