Dear friends,

2006, November 10 – I became a member of Photoshopcontest.
http://photoshopcontest.com/boards/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=22338

Two days later I entered my first chop, a real ugly one.
First entrie: http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/109573/newhat.html

What did I know of PS? Not much, that’s for sure, lol.
In the 7 years after I made 2,355 chops! Never wait for a nice photo… but every day diehard choppin’ every pic that came up. Recieving an uncountable number of pm’s from fellow choppers to tell me what I did wrong and what to do about it to make it better. Often with examples, sometimes just to tell me ‘your shadows are all wrong’! They where right! And sometimes very nasty hate mail. It’s all in the game.

I loved the special occasions, H2H, Theme contests, Christmas give aways, Scavenger hunt (with the best team mates ever!!!). No names, you know who you are.

A lot of you are friends now and not only on Facebook, but for real: Christmas cards, cool mails with music or beautiful pics (no, no names Gramps).

The last 3 years I don’t do much chopping anymore, sometimes life has other plans.

Thanks to Anfa I’m a member for life, so all I have to do is breath now and then.
2 or 3 times a week I log in on PSC… thanks to the good old times, so much fun, often I laugh out lout so hard, my neighbor sometimes asks me if I’m alright. And yes, I was… couldn't be better.

Short story long… thanks for the good times, all of you.

I’ll be back, sometimes.

Maybe

BTW YOUR FIRST CHOP WASN'T BAD... BETTER IDEA THAT WHAT WE GET USED TO SEE LATELY!

Wow, impressive portfolio, what a record, congrats on you're 10th anniversary!

I also learned chopping along the way here, I remember my first one was posted in the wrong contest and very late... In my beginning I made very crappy ones, I had some nice ideas (I guess) but no skills.

I also remember posting 2 entries each day for a month or so, crazy, but a lot of fun!

Have a free drink on my 10th anniversary entry: http://photoshopcontest.com/view-entry/200510/my-10th-anniversary.html

Look at you guys!
This is excactly why I love this community so much
Thanks for the sweet comments. I’m so glad I ‘see’ a lot of you almost daily on Facebook.

I download a few pics lately, but damnnn I’m rusty. Made one and forgot to enter till it was to late.

And no SH, I didn’t open your url, cause I know in advance it’s about you, as always

I wonder if we can make a deal?
Lets make a Christmas card from the last anonymous pic before Christmas? Can we do that? Please!!!
And if you don’t use just a little bit of the source pic, nobody cares oké?!

Love to hear from you guys, thanks!

I still have the lovely tribute you made for me when my beloved Tanya passed away.
