Thanks for the last year or so!

Chris...

Having been around since you first joined the forum, I can say, as others have said above, that your images have been top notch! You have a lot of talent and an excellent eye. I know I speak for many when I say I am sorry to see you leave, but understand your decision. I know that for me, many times, my disinterest in a particular activity is only temporary, as I hope it is with you. Whatever happens in the long run, it has been a pleasure having you along for the ride over the last year, and I wish you (and your wife) the best of luck in everything that you do. Please stop in and say hello from time to time and favor us with an image or two!

I know youve helped inspired me Your "urban" shots are the coolest Ive ever seen!!

Hopefully you wont loose the skill it seems youve worked so hard on... I currently feel the same way you described, but I still bring my camera everywhere I go "just in case" Maybe inspiration will hit me or Ill see that one shot

Good luck in the real world

Chris -

I was hoping you'd say "April Fools" or something like that as the last line in your post (even though it's the middle of July).

If you're losing interest, why not just take a few months off from photography? Come back later!

Its a bit of a shame. Are you as good at your hobbies as you are at photography? If yes, then it's not so bad, but if you answered no, I really think you are ignoring a real talent of yours. Do you even realise how good you are at this? We all really mean it when we say you have a good eye.
If your mind's already made up, then I wish you well, and hope you come back and share occassionally.

I'm sorry to hear that!

As you can see, we'll miss you. On the other hand, Summer is here & I've also been thinking that I'm spending way too much time here, too, so I can understand why you might feel that way.
Drop in occasionally & say "Hi"!

Tis a shame as I would add my name to the above list of people who kept an eye out for you posting up images. I suspect you will return to it. I have been taking picture for 30 years or so but circumstances have meant not always doing so regularly.

It's been a pleasure to occasionally catch a view of the world as seen through your camera.

Have fun doing other stuff.

I'm crushed...


On your journey, make sure you wear comfortable shoes

Well I've only been alon for a few months, but:
1. Every photographer has his/her style, and yours is clearly distinct (which in my opinion makes a true artist).
2. Some of the words you dropped in some threads have inspired me.

Good luck to you.

dang, your IR pictures were a pretty hardcore inspiration to learn how to use a camera for me...you have a great eye for a good photo

godspeed

Good Luck but it is going to suck. You're good, very good. Hope it becomes fun again for you sometime. Really going to miss your stuff.

You know I did a search of the boards to see what Laz has been up to lately. I thought that I may have been just missing your posts........I am sorry to find this post.

Yo man, you tried to pull this once before if I remember correctly......I know you are reading this. You are just trying to fake your own death to see if anyone cares.......I think I saw this on an episode of Gilliagan's Island. Thurston Howell 3rd faked his death to see if anyone cared

Go and get that restless spirit, ADD, or whatever it is that drives you, charge the batteries and go forth. Hey Phish is breaking up too, maybe they are looking for a lead singer.......Laz, the new front man for Phish.

What next........Don Ellis jaded with Infrared shots

Well I have to end this rambling post.

Peace Chris.

I think that Laz posted not to long ago?
