Default A part of OPF

One of the things about OPF that's been special is that I have had the pleasure of meeting people far far from home as well as hosting those who visit. Not to mention the friendships that have come from being here from time to time or the learning and sharing that's taken place.

Nicolas, thanks to you and Asher for fostering all of us.

Kathy,

I too have enjoyed meeting so many photographers from all over. Frankly how could we have a forum without France for the work of the so many fine photographers. With America and France in the pot, we really needed a lot of other countries to balance the delusions and righteousness of these civilizations. Part of the wonder of photography is that it can penetrate small and large worlds and reveal what we hide from ourselves, entertain and educate and sometimes even call us to account.

Here, we try to enjoy each others work and share ideas and it works. Getting to know so many folks with access to subjects so new to us is the payoff!

Asher

That's interesting. I've been enjoying the interaction with members from other countries and it's also nice to see their 'local' photography apart from images of a traveller.
