Thanks for providing an environment where strangers can become friends and friends can become family. And while that is going on, we can all grow in our photography skills.
Thanks for the heads up Will .... and THANK YOU Fred Miranda, for making photography THAT much more enjoyable with your site. Yes, what will we do without FM? DP Review? Arrrrrrgggggggg ...... please, please, please!!!
Didn't know Fred was "only" 4 years old when I signed up in Oct 2005 Like others have said, invaluable site and learned more than I could have almost anywhere else! This is my "goto" place during my lunch hour at work

I might actually be processing and printing some of my photos rather than online all the time. I'd post more, but I have a full time job and work many hours.

8 years ago, Fred had a vision and the fact you're reading this now speaks volumes about this
World Class Site. Amazing group of photographers have assembled here over the years. Can't
put into words how much I've learned here, friendships forged, information shared. My hat's off
to ya Fred. Well played! Thanks so very much and here's to 9 more, man!
It took over 2 years of lurking, but joining was worth it. Great site.
Woohoo!
8 is 100 in Bird years!
I was a lurker for the first 4 years, too scared to post my crappy shots but all the great photos and advice have helped me to take that first step!
Thanks Fred! and u can keep taking the fee out of my account every year!
