I miss Bill D

November 11th, 2010
My home page doesn't seem right without his pics,
please come back.....
November 11th, 2010
Ditto!
November 11th, 2010
Me too! He was once of the first people to make any comments on my photos and he made me feel welcome here.
November 11th, 2010
Ditto.. and I didn't even know him that well...
November 11th, 2010
Yeah, it was an inspiration and instigation to see his work and think I could do that if I get out and really put some effort into my photography.
November 11th, 2010
I too, always looked forward to Bill's postings. In addition, he always gave me motivation to continue taking photos as well as demonstrated such kindness in his comments on my posts.
November 11th, 2010
Oh where did he go?
I haven't been around here for quite a while cause of the ENDLESS work I have..
But.. yeah what happened?
November 11th, 2010
Me too. He always commented on my photo's and was kind and encouraging to everybody. His pix were stunning and I hope he will come back!!
November 11th, 2010
what ??? have i missed something ??? has he left the site OMG
November 11th, 2010
Bill was my first follower and really inspired me to keep going with the project.
November 11th, 2010
Top bloke!
November 11th, 2010
@davies Are you talking about Bill_d? And where did he go?
November 11th, 2010
He seemed to vanish the very day I started following him! :O :(
November 11th, 2010
I was thinking about him too. He made lots of comments to me and he got so many himself, I appreciated that he took the time to comment back.
November 11th, 2010
I miss him too..his pictures were phenomenal
November 11th, 2010
He has only missed this past week. He even posted a comment on that thread a few days ago so maybe life just got busy. Hopefully he will post soon. :) Fingers crossed.
November 11th, 2010
He does have 6 kids... I imagine life can get busy for him... but hopefully he comes back... I love the 600mm of his... cannot wait to see more...
November 12th, 2010
He taught with his pictures and inspired with his words
November 12th, 2010
I miss Bill D too and I am Bill D! Hahahaha. I have enjoyed every minute on this site and miss not commenting and posting. I'm the one who asks folks to see their vacation pix and I so enjoyed seeing into and hearing about people's lives on 365. Also, very, very talented photographers on this site (much better than me)! Probably got caught up in the competition and realized that wasn't the best attitude, so I'm taking a break. I will continue to comment and hope to post again soon. Thank-you for your kind words and encouragement! @barrymikhal @icywarm @jennarichards @bruni @naomi @omabluebird @davies @moonpig @robv @ladydi @daliadestructo @refriedradio @liipgloss @qwertyd @blightygal @jeseniab @jinximages

November 12th, 2010
oh..i thought it was you..Mr.Bill D...haha..i'm happy you're not the one..cuz i'm a big Fan....Good luck to the other Mr. Bill and God Bless.!!
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d Glad you haven't vanished and I know how you feel about the competition. I enjoy your pictures and comments too.
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d... Breaks are good for the soul. But your pictures and comments are, too. :-) We'll be awaiting your return!
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d Breaks are indeed good for the soul. We will see you back again one day, when you are ready! You will be missed.
November 12th, 2010
Guess if I was planning on posting up a nature shot now is the time to do it since there is not the possibility of it showing up side-by-side to one of Bill's :). Seriously, hope the break is a good one. If anyone deserves one, it's Bill. @bill_d
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d I only just heard the news after talking to Brenda. Only saying nice things of course because we both love and admire your photos Bill! Hope it is just a break,I always look forward to going to your profile to see what amazing work you have posted for the day. Take Care :)
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d yes u was hot gossip threw our phone lines today in down town sunny australia lol ... Its been a nice breath of fresh air to have u on this site. Not only are is photography totally amazing u urself is a genuine heart of gold kinda guy. Your words are so encouraging to each and every person on this site. I know when u comment on my shots i get the AWWWWWW special bill treatment . You make each comment personal which shows that u really did like the shot and not just returning the favor of a comment.

Was lovely sharing ur part of the world through photos , will be seeing u when u come back from ur brake xx.
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d I'm glad you're not gone for good!! I love your photos.
November 12th, 2010
Bill, take a break, then get back on as soon as you feel like it. I absolutely love your work, and value your feedback. As someone just starting out, I like to hear supportive (but honest) comments from talented people such as yourself. Hope to see you back soon.
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d -- glad to hear it's just a break. you are definitely missed (as you can see)
November 12th, 2010
SOOOO glad to hear you are just taking a break! The site is def not the same without you!!! You are missed very much!
November 12th, 2010
Love your sense of humor - yes, I saw it peeking through all those serious, magnificent, wildlife photos. Go regroup & then come back shootin' with all lens ablaze! Btw, I hear that Spam & eggs is good for the soul. Hugs & peace to you, Bill.
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d Take the time you need . . . but come back soon! You are definitely missed!
November 12th, 2010
Have a great break, Bill_D, and come back soon! I too, have appreciated all of the comments you made on my photos and I think your photos, especially those wonderful macros of dragonflies and butterflies, should be published in a book so I could buy it to give to my nature-loving friends!
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d Aww I didn't even realize, I really appreciate every comment you have ever made on my project ( even if I dont have the time to reciprocate sometimes) I look forward to your return so I can see some more if your awesome captures!
November 12th, 2010
I've been thinking the same, such an inspiration and so much encouragement! @bill_d - thank you!
November 12th, 2010
@bill_d - no way, you're an excellent member of the community. Such a positive influence. Hope the break helps and that you make it back!
November 12th, 2010
I echo everyone's sentiments above. I always felt it an honour when one of my pics caught eye. His bird pictures are just fabulous.
November 15th, 2010
Me too. Bill's kind comments on my very average photos were always so nice coming from someone so obviously in a totally different league from me! I'm missing the beautiful nature shots.
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d You have been so supportive and helpful and I appreciate you very much! I hope you find your way back. I understand the turmoil you mention (even though we're on different planes) . But you are an amazing artist and that's the beginning and the end of it! Come back when you're ready!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d I love your comments on my photos. It really makes me feel like I should keep trying. Not an easy thing when I have a newborn to occupy my time. I am so glad you are not gone. Enjoy your time off. :) Like a vacation of sorts. lol
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d Take all the time you need, and I hope to see you back around here posting more amazing photos soon!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d Please come back soon!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d - I knew you weren't too far away as I'd recently see a post of yours .. it's ok 365 is about you and how you use it. Just give all the competition concepts a miss as it's you and you pix and comments that is missed. We're all winners here if we even have 1 person looking at our work. Go well and hang loose.
November 16th, 2010
So glad you're still hanging around!! I haven't been a documented follower because you had so many already and I didn't want to burden you with another. But, I routinely checked your posts. Your photos are absolutely amazing. And it always stunned me when I received a comment from you on one of my mediocre, at best, photos. I see one or two others have missed you as well, bill_d! :) Enjoy your time off. Hope to see you soon. And if you're not back before next week...Happy Thanksgiving!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d Hey Bill, break is good, we all need it from time to time. You're so missed, I'm looking forward to that day you'll be posting again. Cheers!
November 16th, 2010
Bill, you're the backbone of this community and we all miss you very much! Enjoy your break, but please, don't let it be too long!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d I'm so glad you aren't gone for good!! I always enjoy seeing your photos!!!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d come back soon!! I LOVE your pictures! And you comment on my pics every day, without fail. It makes me feel like I'm doing a good job. Hurry back!
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d Enjoy the break but please come back soon! Your photos will be missed.
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d - glad to hear you're not gone for good - sometimes one just needs to regather one's thoughts etc. Your wildlife photos are the tops.
November 16th, 2010
@bill_d : Whew, I guess everybody's just happy that you're back. Good to know you didn't walk out on all of your dear fans : ) Just wanna let you know that I ditto Andrea. You were one of the first person to comment and appreciate my photos when I first started here in 365. You really did make me feel welcomed and your pictures really inspire us to do better with our own crafts even if not everyone gets to comment on your pictures. I guess this thread has already proven that you are a much loved celebrity around here. Thanks and God bless : )
November 16th, 2010
bill enjoy your break but come back soon.....
November 18th, 2010
@bill_d Bill, Glad to see you are keeping up with things on 365 and hope to be posting again. I was always surprised and pleased to receive your comments, particularly when I was a newbie and had no idea what I was doing! It's good to take a break but please don't make it too long! Just want you to know that I appreciate your input and adore your photography!
November 21st, 2010
@bill_d: You've got quite a fan club here! And mightily deserved it is too.
