Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays to all my PBase friends!

I am afraid I have been absent this entire year. I hope all of you are well.
It’s been a roller coaster ride for me as I have been fighting cancer since August.
I plan to take up my cameras again and also catch up with your photographs.
All the Best to all of you!

Sorry to hear what I suspected, that you were dealing with a health crisis either for yourself or someone in your family. Good to hear that your are looking forward to getting back to your passion for photography. Everyone's cancer journey is different. I've had surgery for two kinds of cancer and I'm still kicking, so I hope it goes the same way for you. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year.
