i miss brian sweeney

[jmilkins]

Farewell Brian, but hopefully not goodbye.

Wow - didn't know, he left the forum!
Surely it is a big loss for the forum, and I know, he might change his mind at one point, while I do understand, that sometimes, one has to make such decisions, as there is a life beside the internet.

I am very happy, Brian shared some invaluable information form his wealth of experience with me, without, I would have never started, to open up lenses and adjusted many LTM lenses for use on calibrated Leica M bodies.

Always, when I got stuck with something, Brian had just the right hint at hand, that moved me on, helping immensely!.

I hope, his leaving has no impact here on RFF on the old threads and especially his forum!
I hope, temporarily, moderation is managed by other mods, leaving the Brian Sweeney place at RFF alive and running, ready, to welcome Brian again, should he decide, to come home again ;-)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and family Brian!

he chats occasionally on purelight photography forum. seems to be getting his new computer kit up to snuff.

is keith unhappy with rff?

 

[paulfish4570]

Ah, life's ebbs and flows...................................

the net's ebbs and flows is more like it.

i have been here from the beginning and can't remember the people who have come and gone...for various reasons...always a little sad though.

 

[dave lackey]

No, Keith is just taking a break. No worries.🙂

 

[migtex]

Oh Man! No Brian! I'm gonna miss him a lot!
We all get more dumb without his knowledge!
This 2011 year has been bad, bad, bad... hope it ends quickly!

 

[jsrockit]

Wow, crazy.

Last time that I spoke to Keith he was snowed under with work I seem to recall.

Oh ,and as Paul says building the worlds biggest PC 🙂

The net is part of life.

This is disappointing. Brian inspired me try some interesting lens remounts and push the limits of my own capabilities.

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

I do hope he gets the calm and rest he seeks.

Sometimes we just need to step away and get some fresh air.

Also, there are times that the forums (fora?) really gets the best of you.

I will meet with Brian in the summer, so I hope that he will be rested from work, and that we can eat pizza and laugh together.
