Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but Roger this week specifically praised RFF and its members in his weekly piece in Amateur Photographer, the British weekly photo mag.

He mentioned that RFF is such friendly place because most of us "have a life" outside photography geekdom. Thank you Roger, I personally was beginning to have my doubts!

Life is what happens when you run out of film, I read...

It's true.

That's why I bought another fridge ......for film ;)
 
not to hijack the thread but i'd like to second the thanks....i was recently reading through some photo books that i had picked up in a whirlwind of free book shopping at my university library and i was half through a great book on lighting before i noticed who the author was ... needless to say thanks Roger for the insight
 
Yes indeed. Thanks, though I have to admit I've never read Amateur Photog.

I have read 'Rangefinders: Equipment, History and Techniques' and liked it very much too. I'm not sure if I got the title correct though.
 
RFF is what I do to escape from my life, happily of course.

It is quite interesting and an honor to have Roger among us too. It is not often that us common folk get an opportunity to share thoughts with or bend the ear of a widely popular journalist/columnist about any topic. We happen to enjoy that here speaking to Roger about our shared common interests of photography on an equal and open footing.

Do you suppose that's why the site has been so slow the past couple of days? Throngs of AP readers checking us out?
 
Hopefully, but the articles Roger writes (always excelent BTW ) do bring some very strange creatures out of the woodwork on the letters page. I'm surprised they are allowed paper and sharp objects like pens in some of the places they obviously inhabit!! I hope we don't attract too many of them! :rolleyes:
 
OK, I'm confused. I've never read Amateur Photographer. If that's a requirement here, then I'm in deep doo-doo. Next, I'm supposed to have a life? OMG, ROTFLMAO!!! Between RFF, APUG, searching oBoy for bargoons, and the OM list, I barely have time to go to work. Why the hell am I not paid for the important things, like RFF, APUG, oBoy and the OM list?

Seriously, I add my sincere thanks to Roger for his contributions to the photographic community. And I will SOON be unsubscribing to the OM list to free up time for actually making pictures, darkroom work, etc. Not that I don't love that list (it's the equivalent of the RFF community in the email world,) but I just need the time. APUG for me will become history for at least a pretty long time (they have too many digital flame wars,) and I will onlhy keep RFF though I will cut back on the time spent.

I think there might be...I'm a sort of systems admin; looking for something else, though. I would like to have a life...

Hmmm. Another one here -- and I've been troubleshooting for the past 48 hrs and have barely had a chance to drop in. Life? I've heard rumours ...
