95% and only a few more pix to go ... won't be signing on for another year, doing more uni and honing other skills.
Checkout what you can because I'll probably be deleting the account within a month of completing.
I will say a formal good bye then but for those who have started to 'follow' and those who have been in for the long haul, a hearty THANK YOU.
I have taken one or two pix upon my return but they pall into insignificance after the Mo journey.
My skills have grown so much when one looks at #1 image and now ... I've had some absolute awesome ones and some real duds.
Yet ... you've stayed like a great partner, through the thick and thin and it's mighty thin at the moment.
May you get what you want from this site and improve to a level you've wanted to achieve. May you continue to support and share and most of all ... DON'T TAKE IT ALL TOO SERIOUSLY!
Cheers big ears and when you're in Oz drop me a line (hints or contact made previously) and I'll show you a few of my fav places around here.
Carlita, i just looked over your pictures for the last year. You have grown so much with your photography skills. You have always taken good pictures, but I can see how you have improved even in the last month. Amazing! I am going through a rough and busy time right now. I was actually considering bailing out of this project. Seeing your improvement and your pictures has encouraged me to stay in this project. Thank you for encouraging me by your example. I wish you the best. Keep up the good picture taking!
Well done Carlita! I have been so impressed with the way you have developed over the year too. Your technical skills have left me waaaaay behind. Good luck with your new directions. I'm sure you'll approach them with the same dedication you have shown with 365.
Carlita, I have so enjoyed hanging around here with you! your sense of artistry and humor are wonderful and entertaining. Your support to me has been invaluable.
Thank you for all that. I wish you all the best on your next chapter. . .I hope I do get to come Oz someday and enlist you to be my tour guide! sending my email on an old photo. Don't remember if you have it or not. . .All the best to you, my friend.
Carlita, it has been a pleasure following you,and I have grown to apprecite your humor and your desire to grow. I think your recent trip is just the tiop of the iceberg for you. Best wishes to you!
Aww we're going to miss you here Carlita!! I've enjoyed seeing life from your point of view, including the local shots that made me realise we don't live all that far apart.
Stay in touch and keep taking photos :-)
@eyebrows lol - hey trying to convince Mary Coughlan (Irish Jazz singer and icon) to let me write her biography ... I'll be travelling your way if that happens so you don't need to forward that missing ticket to your photo weekend shoots ... love your humour and learn lots from viewing and following/watching your days turn into weeks. Stay well!
@yoelao I'd love to travel through Israel again ... never know in a few years ... remember my email and if you're around we can catch up and talk academia on all things adoption in your country and mine!
@piemagic Hey Erin in Melb June 10, driving away June 13 ... want to catch up and shoot the night? Thinking maybe do the Sunday night walk or have a family dinner ... not sure which to do. Your thoughts?
@rebcastillo77 cheers and I love how much you've grown over the pix ... You inspire me to do better and at the same time show less ... obviously NOT mastered that one yet! lol
@cmt2812 Oh Kate ... I just put that down to undiagnosed ADHD and some OCD thrown in .... but yes I'm amazed at what I've been able to achieve because of responses and seeing other's achievements. Cheers and stay well too. BTW was it your husband who rowed our to our friends yacht in Brunswick Heads and asked if they were ok after I wrote on one of your pix? Way way back ...
@nikkers Oi! do I HAVE to? phew, haven't deleted your email from the contacts ...yet ... Let me know when you're in Oz and I'll share my deck with you and we can watch the boys play in the water .... mwah!
@refriedradio Your simplicity in story telling in your pic blows me away ... I would say 'considering your age' but that may be offensive ... but yes I'm amazed at the talent of so many youngsters and can't help but wonder where you'll/they'll be in a few more years ... green eyed monster that I never got to study this subject when I was at school or straight after. Follow your passion and never grow too big for your boots!
@crappysailor yeah sure! I reckon I've offended enough people so it's time to go! lol. Will keep checking on you here or flickr ... but looking at deleting that account too! Go well and keep on taking fun pix.
@stepheesue you're too sweet - I've learnt so much from you and your images and perspective and responses and creativity! THANKS! Got the email so lets see how things go ... love to know how you're going as time ticks by. You have talent and share it beautifully. Thanks.
@difeeney Chuffed Diana, thanks for your wonderful support and responses. Keep taking pix and don't let the 'competition' get you down! Will visit from time to time.
@digitalrn Rick my most fervent follower! I take my hat off to you and don't know how you do it! You have given me wonderful support and feedback on absolute crap images, making me strive for better next time around. You are a gem and all those who you follow are enriched by your commitment to feedback and words of encouragement. A HUGE THANK YOU!
@amz87 maybe catch you at the markets when dropping son to work or picking up ... which stall does your relo work on? Need to undertake uni and hope to start researching and writing a bio as well as working .... will still take pix but working towards the Gods/Goddess series and exhibition (as well!) ... see you around!
@misschuff She's at the Chinese one in the food court, apparently they're closing that one though so I won't be there as often. Will most likely go every now and then though.
I think it won't be long before your work is turning up in galleries, I'll keep an eye out :-)
@misschuff If you wanna do the night walk ?? i still havent mangaged to do it yet !! my email is piemagic@hotmail.com we can organise something closer to the time !
@deliriousoul awww shucks ... thanks ... but you get that on big jobs! keep up ur awesome pix ... looks like i should have been following you way before too ... love ur work .. I can learn so much from your artistry .... Maybe you'll have to tutor me when/if I head that way? BTW not in the near future BUT if you're heading this way ...
Be good at being bad..
Thank you for all that. I wish you all the best on your next chapter. . .I hope I do get to come Oz someday and enlist you to be my tour guide! sending my email on an old photo. Don't remember if you have it or not. . .All the best to you, my friend.
Stay in touch and keep taking photos :-)
