Let's see, the definition (from the Sue H. book of life) is someone who has only posted once, and posted no pictures . My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Or do you have them somewhere else? If it's POE then my professional opinion says leave them all, because they ALL bring me joy. I certainly don't get bored looking at different pictures of one place. And I want to give you a big hug because you said, and I quote ' I'd appreciate help from the family to sort this out.'. Here is your hug Alan . Thanks for the hug Sue. I really needed that!!! LOL My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

Alan the pics I'd choose are.....NONE! Leave them ALL in here, and as we're your 'family' do as you are told lol All right! There'sno need to bully me! The local professional photographer had looked at the site because I told him about it. His exact words (as near as my lousy memory can recal were: 'It's nice (whatever nice is) but there's too many of one subject. I'd take some off and leave about 8 or 10 of each'. I thought he might have a point, so I thought the best thing was to ask all the POElanders. We've all become a big happy family even though most of us have never met, and that's a tribute to you all. Thanks to everyone for the advice - which, unusual as it may be for me - I will take notice of! The matter is settled and the pictures stay! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

The honest friendship on this site is something you won't often come across on your travels (or surfing the net). It's ordinary people like us, getting together that makes the difference. I bet that on our day we could even change the world (if it would listen to common sense). My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
Jason T Posts: 7421 Joined: 14th Apr 2004 Location: UK	quotePosted at 11:54 on 1st October 2008 The thing about this site, i like is there's no snobbery about photos, a lot of photography sites are very 'clicky' and everyone feels they need to moan about certain angles, correct lighting, composition etc etc etc...... I know technically some photos are better than others, and professionals are much more clued up on how to use the camera, settings etc, but hey, if a photo looks good, and gives you pleasure, i see it as a good photo!! theres nothing else to it, we all see things in different ways, a good photo to one, is a bad photo to another maybe! boring is interesting to some etc. its all a matter of personal preference. A professional photographer would probably rip most of the photos on here to pieces, but loads of people get a lot of pleasure from looking at them, me included, so would that professional be correct in dismissing them? i don't think so. So Alan i'm glad the pictures are staying! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

You must have put them there for a reason. I am sure that reason still exists! It is like looking through your eyes when we see them. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

I have people telling me that I should take a photography course, buy this camera or that one, do this, do that, but why, it’s my hobby not my chosen career, it gives me pleasure to take my shots and make mistakes along the way, I love looking back at my old work and seeing how much I have improved just by trial and error not by taking a course. People on here are great, I looked into a few amateur photography sites before finding POE and they scared me to death, I wouldn’t dare join, some just criticize your pictures and although constructive criticism can be good, I am my own worst critic anyway. The day I discovered POE was a great day for me, it’s what I had been looking for but didn’t think would exist. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
