February 7

Four Years on PBase!
I began putting images on my PBase site exactly four years ago today.
At first it was only to show images of my Mexico Trips to friends and family.
In the fall of 2007 I really started getting into it taking photos on a daliy basis and I also began a PaD in January of 2008.
I never dreamed I would have 147 galleries and over 5,500 images on-line, and over 1,560,000 hits on the site.
What has really amazed, surprised and pleased me is that at the time I'm writing this I've received 34,796 comments on my images. I never dreamed this would happen.
But the best part by far are the many friendships I have made on-line and the hundreds of photographers I've met in person through the many photo shoots I've organized and attended.
What a great experience.
Thank you everyone, it's been a great ride and I'm looking forward to my next four years here!

Walter - Congrats on 4-years of great PAD images. I normally don't get too excited about PAD type galleries as good images often seem few and far between. Yours however are really an example of a PAD done well. And four years worth is a tribute to your skills. This image is no exception... One day I'll meet you out and about in this great city of ours. Happy shooting.
