About This is a remake of my previous post/collage. The reason I am reposting is because I have a story to tell. I COULD NOT get the hang of making these collages. I tried & tried, emailed folks & still just could not figure out what I was doing wrong. My friend Cheryl spent an hour or so on IM and helped me figure this out. And she's helped me lots of other times too, and many other of my UF friends have helped me. They've helped me with PS & with photography. Given me suggestions & been very supportive. There is a negative undercurrent lately, why are folks only commenting on their friends pics, are we a mutual admiration society, are we becoming shallow etc... And then there are a "few" folks who just move around the site insulting and being critical to others.... but even with all of that UF is a wonderful supportive site. I feel sad when I lose a friend because of someone else's jealousy or cruelty. I have learned much here, made some very dear friends, and grown as an artisan. Maybe someday we'll all be able to play in the sandbox together. I sure hope so, it's a lot more fun when we all get along. :)
PS Here's a link to the original.

Ohhh Dot. Thanks for that and I echo these words entirely. Well done on the collage, I am so proud of you. I bet this is much easier now huh? :) Great work girl!!

Un collage muy bien presentado.
Un abrazo!


Dave Stacey   {K:138036} 8/9/2005
Yes, I think we have all been helped out along the way by our involvement in UF, Dottie! I know I've certainly benefitted by being able to see so many great images and the friendly and constructive comments made on my own shots. I can only hope it continues that way, and that others do, too.
A great collage by the way!
Dave.

Excellent job with the help of some fine people and agree with your about!....rec'd some emails today telling me they will not renew once their donor memberships are up because they don't agree that sarcasm is valuable critique!...never been in my book.....regards,gayle one to cherish,DD!


Dorothy Di Liddo   {K:13787} 8/9/2005
Thanks Dave. Take a peek at the original, made with a different program, I left it up so that folks could compare the two. Big difference I think. :)

Hello Dottie!!! Excellent collage!!! I mean really well done!!! Your 'about' is pretty accurate! I try to comment on a wide range of photos but I think the problem is, at least with me, My friends list is approaching about 100!!!!!
Trying to keep up is almost impossible!I find myself picking and choosing one or two of the best shots from about ten of each of My Friends photos and then a few others at random as well!
There are many times I don't even go to the most recent uploads for lack of time! but that said, I still Love this site and the mostly positive people and friends!!!I look forward to signing on!~To Me it's fun and relaxation!!! And I have learned tons on this site!!!!Thanks for the though provoking 'about'!!!
Again Teriffic collage of Your Great looking Guys!!!And You too!!!
(PROUD MOM!)My best!..............John

Fantastic collage Dottie & i totally agree on you'r about.
Cheers Al.


Rebecca Raybon   {K:26645} 8/9/2005
Beautiful work Dottie. I've been involved in may changes lately. I'm transfering to a different facility in Moneta, and working on a house that was destroyed by previous renters ( an old farm house), and preparing to move in the next few weeks. Busy, busy, busy. I"ll be close to Smith Mountain Lake, and hopefully will again get time to go out and search for the beauty, that I know is there. I agree with John. I have so many people on my list, it's very hard to keep up. I should be ashamed for my lack of comments lately. I"ll try to get better again when I get settled. Maybe someday you can show me how to do this collage :)


Dorothy Di Liddo   {K:13787} 8/9/2005
It would be with great pleasure for me to show you the "how to" and I do believe you are moving closer to me! Fall is coming, once you are settled, we should hike & shoot! :) Dottie


Carolyn Wiesbrock   {K:14051} 8/9/2005
A wonderful tribute and one to be proud of!
Very well presented!!


Margaret Sturgess   {K:49403} 8/9/2005
Great work Dottie, and it is so good that there are so many people who are willing to be supportive and helpful, many good friendships have been made on this site. Sometimes that makes it difficult - when I am behind with viewings and comments I can barely see my friends images and others tend to go by the wayside at such times.

Dotty wonderful collage of your heroes, I remember this one
About your about, I have to say that here I found a new family with brothers, Sisters and a lot of good people that help me in diferents ways with they advices and words, even one of our memmers Murat from Murat & Drica is like my blood brother and he come continue to my country and we have a lot of fun here together, Here I know a wonderful woman like Alison De Leo and she is like my sister too and others greats friends that teach me a lot like DAVID MC Clenaghan that enven send me from Australia like a 10x macro lens a gift that Is in the way to here and Peter Houtmeyers, you, Judi, kelly and all my dear friend from UF.
I dont understand why are some people that want to insult our UF Family instead of be one member more like another brother. Really I am very sad that this are happen in the place that I feel like my home. Greetings to all my UF brothers and God bless you all


Del Metheny   {K:25617} 8/10/2005
Excellent collage, Yes I remember the original and have took another look. Yes you have made a nice improvement but in this case it is as much the story you tell as the details of the collage. I enjoyed the first one also. Del.


Trish McCoy   {K:15897} 8/10/2005
big improvement. this is great. you did an amazing job here. love it. ;)


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 8/11/2005
Hey girl - I wanted you to know I am taking down my "friend list" and adding everyone to my Associates list - I think that long list has stopped me from seeing more photos. Im doing this to all of my list so don't be offended - I will check in on you for sure! I just don't have the time right now but I love your work so I will keep up on you.


Dorothy Di Liddo   {K:13787} 8/11/2005
Hey There, Thanks for the heads up. I totally understand... I feel bad because I'm about 50 behind on my friend's list now. (At least 50!)Does the Associate's list notify you less often? Just curious, as my assoc, list is quite long & I don't get nearly the numbers I do from my friends list. Any luck on the Neat Image info? I have the program, just can't get it into my CS2. :( Dottie


Cheryl Ogle   {K:24494} 8/11/2005
I don't get notified on any of my lists - I just see a "many by associates" in the top header when I come to UF. It frees me up to view the photos I want without the feeling of "having" to comment on images. :)


Patrick Ziegler   {K:21747} 8/12/2005
Semper Phi !

Seems you have really goten the hang of The college.

Dot, I have been away and I feel I have missed something... It seems so quiet in here... Like everbody is walking on egg shells, I feel I went away and came back to the twilight zone...

You have my email, If you have time, A heads up?


Liz Wallis   {K:26076} 8/13/2005
A beautiful collage indeed Dot, so much for you to be proud of in your life...and your right, there is definantly a difference between the two.
well done :)
Liz


Linda Bique   {K:73220} 8/13/2005
This is a wonderful collage and a lovely tribute...a shame to see what is happening...so very sad indeed...:):)Linda


Brenda Guiles   {K:6128} 8/14/2005
Your collage is superb, the content excellent!!! :)


Mary Brown   {K:69853} 8/29/2005
Wow, you sure have this collage making down now. This is wonderful. It is very classy.
I agree that it is a real shame that some people don't have manners or consideration. When someone leaves with hurt feelings, the whole site suffers. UF has been a great learning place for me. I feel I have friends from all over the world and really appreciate the suggestions and support. In terms of comments; my Friends and Associates lists have grown soo much, I have a very hard time keping up. It is almost impossible. There are so many wonderful posts, I know I am missing a lot, but one would have to be here all day and then some to view and comment. I make an effort to comment on at least a few new to me people each time. That's how my lists have got so long--when I see and enjoy someone's work, I add them to my Assosiates to keep track of their new posts--and the list just keeps getting longer.
Mary


Ahmed Ismail   {K:19853} 11/9/2005
Very nice collage and presentation. Beautiful shots Dorothy. Yes, I also agree its a great place here at UF. So many nice friends.


Howie Mudge   {K:27580} 12/7/2005
Nice and well said about the site Dotty. I've taken almost 12 months out of photography and glad to be back and hopefully make more of an effort to comment on everyones photos. This is a very nice collage anyhow and well created. well done.
