Celebrating with 2 Free Memberships

Nikon AF Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR DG IF-ED

I've been a member now for just over a year. I've grown so much because of all of you and your help. I've been able to quietly do a few things to give back to the community and it's given me alot of joy.

Now, I'm nearing some benchmark numbers in several areas: Comments (just passed 1000), Votes Received, Profile Views (just passed 5000), Favorite Photos & Favorite Photographer!

That's alot to celebrate. I'd like to give out 2 memberships. One to a registered member who would like to be a member, and one to a current member who's membership expires in the next three months and won't be able to renew without help.

Nominate someone you feel is deserving (including yourself), or PM me with a name and reason. I'll be giving out the memberships before Sunday night's rollover.

Life is good, isn't it!
Becky

Thank you Soup and TheStick. I'm not asking for anyone to add to those numbers - not complaining if they do. I just want to celebrate my blessings. :D

Becky

PS - Judi, thanks for the nomination - great work!

Good for you Becky!

eyewave is an excellent candidate from the registered user side Judi. He hasn't just used the site to post images without giving something back (many comments given).

On the member side I'd like to recommend ArpeggioAngel. I seem to remember a post from her awhile back about not being able to renew her membership when it expires. Not sure if someone donated one to her or not.

Nice one Becky :)

Just a thought, can you update your profile pics? they appear to be 20 odd years out of date!

Oh, you sweetie!!! Are you saying I look 31 in those pictures? If so, you have just made this "old lady" feel very young and springy. :D

Wow, you're going to make this hard! I've received the great nominations in this thread, plus a few PM's. All would make great members.

Terje - I'll gladly consider your cause as I receive income from my business. I've learned to give back a portion of the blessings ($$ and others) I receive. Life has been good to me.

I sponsor a little girl in Chile through a different agency, and it's definitely rewarding.

I'd like to nominate Kavey. I see her in the forums all the time and she seems to have a great attitude.

Besides some self nominees who chose to PM, so I'll keep the names private, Annah and Makka have been nominated.

I am so impressed with the kindness and consideration of the many who would nominated others.

My photo business doesn't even cover the equipment, yet. My day job has given me enough to share carefully, and DPC has given me a boost I thought would take years.

I'll add Fantasia to the "Possibles" list.

Catching up on reading this morning I noticed that dudephil and rjkstesch nominated me. I just want to thank you so much for your nomination. I was so tickled to see you think I should have one of these wonderful offers. I am not in need though. I just became a member for a year, so I am all set. It should go to someone who really can't afford it or who really needs to learn about their photography skills. I've been fortunate enough to take some classes in my time and have some odd photography jobs here and there, so I think I am ok. I just want to thank you again. This is what makes this site so wonderful!

I would like to nominate Cryingdragon. I am not sure how to highlight the name, and not sure if they have a membership or not, but they are a noob. I will have to look again to see if he is a member. Keep him in mind though. He's a wonderful person.

Edited: I think if I put in the link url to their profile it will work?

Cryingdragon

Auhhuh, there we go! It says member for I don't know for how long? If it's only a month, he would be a good candidate!

I've got some wonderful people nominated, but I don't want to miss anyone that might want a chance.
