Thank you for your kind words - can hardly believe that it's more than 10 months since I left......and I miss you all!

I qualified as a medical pedicurist a few months ago, I'm editing a thesis, and I read and play board games with an elderly gentleman a couple of times a week. I've had 2 approaches from people who were at Adorama, but moved on to other things - waiting to see if either of those works out. Finally, I've been approached by another business in the photography field - which could mean you seeing me back on POTN in a professional capacity.


Congratulations Helen. :-D Whatever you decide, you deserve the best!

You have been missed by us here as well, Helen.

Please remember that you are always welcome here as a 'regular' member, at any time.

Glad to know you have possibilities expanding for you as well;
you have been a genuinely valuable ambassador to us, and no doubt were to Adorama as well.

Whichever path you travel upon, I sincerely wish for it to take you to a delightful place.

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Helen, I would like to wish you the best i n your new field as I’m sure that you will excel in it if you even put half of
the Dedication that you gave to Adorama. I am just reading this thread after having some serious health issues this past year, you have no reason to remember me but assisted me with a few major purchases just because I saw you name on this forum you really went out of your way to help me. I would like to say thank you or help to everyone who contacted you weather you knew them or not.

The reality is that Helen has been "replaced" with a "Customer Experience Management" software system.
