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.
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.
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
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
@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 :)
@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.
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.
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.
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!
@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!
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.
@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!
@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
@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.
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!
@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!
@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 : )
@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!
I haven't been around here for quite a while cause of the ENDLESS work I have..
But.. yeah what happened?
Was lovely sharing ur part of the world through photos , will be seeing u when u come back from ur brake xx.
