New 2015

Zoe & Zayda, aka "Zay" :-)

Note: Life just keeps getting busier, but one can never forget
"The Mother Of All Photo Sharing Sites"...Pbase :-)

I do apologize for not getting back to some of you who wrote me. You know
I'm attention deficit and I work SLOW, but I will get back to you. I appreciate
that you even sent me a note, so I will write you back :-)

I've just been spending all my free time either on Instagram or my blog,
but I still think this is where the finest folks and photographers are. I know
a lot of other people left Pbase too. Kinda sad.

The early days, 2004-2008, were some of the most fun years I've had posting.
It was the Pbase "glory years" for me, but this is a new day. Instagram, Facebook, etc,
could never replace that, but it is what works TODAY. For you guys still around,
I admire you. You've all inspired me somehow. You guys know who you are, and
you are the BEST.

Why not admit it, I've sold out. There I said it :0)

Makes me smile, Zoe looks so happy and Zay... welcome to you on our (yes!) beautiful planet :^)

You are right, Sam, the 2004-2008 years were the Pbase Peak years as far as fun and camaraderie. It was a good time to share and learn from the best. Still, I visit and look up my old favorites whenever I have the opportunity.

Sweet shot and good to see you back my friend. Agree, lots of cool things on the net but I still love the camaraderie of PBase too. V++

Great portrait and congratulations. BV

Well, I didn't leave pbase, I just took a holiday for a while ;). For me I'm doing twitter, google+ and youtube these days as well as my smugmug site. But there's something more communal and tight knit about Pbase. Sure there were more of us in the glory days, but there still feels there's a real community here, compared with other places. Even though I go to youtubers annual meet ups these days, it's just not the same. And the other thing I like the way this site kind of forces bit of structure to your content, rather than just being a bit of stream like other places. I like how most people structure galleries to themes or locations here and the fact that most people here are genuinely interested in photography. While it might not be the trendy place to hang out on the internet anymore, it's still a good place to hang out. - James
