Sep. 16: Vaya Con Dios Gary

La Jolla, CA

I bemoan the loss from our ranks of Gary Winters who has been a creative presence here on PaD, P.E.S.O., and SQUID.

I salute you Gary, and I also salute all the others who have moved on from Padding. I, for one, need the sense of community and friendship and learning too much to stray too far.

I think Gary gets the same thing here at pbase the rest of us do. This site has brought together some incredible talent and helped to foster some strong friendships - not to mention improving all of our skills with a camera and Photoshop. Some artists can be considered "icons" on Pbase. Gary is certainly one of them in my opinion. He has posted since his announcement to take a break. I for one, am very happy to see it! I love his humor and I love his art!

This, is absolutely wild, Robin. It may just be one of your best.

Excellent work and sentiments Robin. I suspect--and hope--that Gary will be back with us soon.

I, too, will miss Gary's well thought-out and often hilarious postings.
He makes his art seem so easy, but such talent may drain one's energy. I'll never know.
I always try to be optimistic. It is my hope that after a time Gary will join us again.
I hope he takes a very brief break.

Gary will be missed by a lot of us Robin & I hope he's only needing a short break as his humour is something we all enjoyed as much as his talent. I know you, Herb & Gary have had some fun meet ups & this is a fine tribute !! vote

I only came across Gary's galleries on the day he decided to hang up his camera, I could see that he is a very talented and humorous man. I wish I'd come across his galleries sooner. Great piece of work > :-)
