I have been wondering where all the "regulars" have gone. I see many new people, which is fine, but where is everyone else? I miss them a lot...are they on vacation? or working more? or not taking as many photos "between seasons"? anyone got a clue about this? I've also noticed a "repeat performance" of many of the older photos people posted once already...in between all the newer ones...and where are the fractals?? I love them, I know there is a seperate gallery for them, but the fractal people used to post a LOT of them in the general gallery. I sure miss that also...anyone have any comments? would love to hear them...thanx.....
Well, thats sad..I mean, why run? cant we wait this out a bit aNd give it a chAnce? we cant really lose anything by waiting a bit. We can always change if we want to, at any time. But I sure miss the "regulars" a lot..whatever their reason is...
As far as the phoptographers are concerned, summer is a bad time for photography (at least hereabouts). The harsh sun directly overhead makes for very two-dimensional photography during most of the day with mornings and evenings being the only times when I can get decent shots.
I love the changes to the site. I can't imagine why someone would abandon the site due to minor adjustments in the GUI.
I don't know who you see regularly and who you are thinking about. I guess there is a natural fluctuation considering how many people post new pieces in different "styles". I've noticed little or no change lately really. I've had the pleasure of getting rid of the most obvious nuisance concerning attacks on me personally but that's all. (Thank you caedes for that!) The people I care for and enjoy being around are still here as far as I'm concerned at least...
I think a lot of it is the change of seasons...things feel different and there are different things to do..I go on many more roadtrips this time of year..there are no tourists..and prices are better..plus I think we all look forward to the Fall colours appearing too..then the sky is great and the foliage is too..I think people truly react strong to change..they always will. But we all need to not jump all over each other..lol....unless we are playing Leapfrog!!haha
Stop trying to figure out who's talented and who's not, and just take a shot at it, okay? Do some art. Tell anybody who asks that I said it was all right.

The changes in Caedes have killed my desire to post anything more than a random picture here and there. I'm also more involved with work and don't spend much time on the computer at home after working on them for 10-12 hours a day. I've enjoyed all the friends at Caedes but I'm with you Varena, they seem to be busy somewhere else.

I agree with sam, only he ment to say my skill:p
Or it might also be that members got sick of people constantly talking about the wonderful c-index and all the other mature conversations that have been going on. That could keep more members lurking rather then posting.
"A piece of toast with butter always lands butter side down, and a cat always lands on its feet. What happens if a piece of toast is tied butter side down to the back of falling cat? Does it hover above the ground in perpetual indecision?"
