Hi all. :) I just like to say a few words to everyone that have been nice to me since I've started to come around here. I enjoy it here immensly and have quickly become one of the bigtime caedes junkies around. ^_^ I have recently felt I no longer have the room in my life to spend as much time here as I've had the last couple of months.
It's not that I have to stop coming here but I will not have time to comment on so many of yours work as I would like to. I've still not begun to go through the galleries of those ahead of me in the authors list as I've planned... :/ Well I guess no one said I had to do that but I feel it would be proper to go through most of the work of those that have been so nice and comment to my work. I guess I have too high ambitions some times. :D
Well I'll just have to settle for that you now know I had the intention initially. I'll not be able to keep up with the pace here. It's too much for me atm. I have to give real life some more time and effort right now. I've had a great time here with you and I'll come back most likely every day but I'll still feel like I'm going cold turkey after the heavy caedes habit I have had. ^_^. Only one hour or two and a couple of comments is not enough juice for me I would guess but for my own sake it's better this way. :D
I guess I figured this out the last couple of blackout here. Caedes has become a too large part of my life. I still like to come here and share your company, just don't take it personally if I haven't got the time to comment like I usually does... ^_^ Photography is and hopefully will allways be an important part of my life so I'll post some in the future too. I hope you'll like some of my future work too.
*Putting on the nice and cozy white strait-jacket and biting the spoon.* This might get rough. :D Moderating an habit is much harder than kicking it completely. (I know this very well as an ex-smoker.) Lets see if I manage it nicely or how it goes. You never know what happens before you trie I allways tell myself.
well Klas what cna i say.. i'll miss ya comments.. but i know you'll still be here ..its just new Diet-Klas-Lite... less calorie filled comments... but the same great taste :D... i know what you mean about the black out... it kind of threw me off track too.. i still havent caught up...12 pages of new images to browse through... but i have the time to feed my habit... im virtually (pun intened) a man of leisure... a semi-farewell .....so long and thanks for all the fish ( erm.. and images and comments and all the coloaboration work and the random inane chatter inbetween)
Hey KLas Things must be getting better with your son alowing you to do more things. Every one must move on to new and better. I have been spending less time on the site latly my self. I wish you and yours a the best. Enjoy. Drop a wire once and awhile.
Klas-Lite™ ^_^ Good one Graeme. Maybe I shouldn't have gone on and about with all of this. I just felt like explaining. See you guys around. :) Thanks Clayton. My son is growing stronger and needs more attention. That feels great. It does give me less room for hanging around here though... But that's not the only thing. I got so much to do that I don't have the time for. Maybe it's just a temporary thing. I'll be around here rather much anyway I guess. ^_^
I certainly wish you well in whatever you must do, and hope you can come back every once and a while ^^;; You have a great photographic style, and I hope you will not give it up!
Best wishes,
Hunter
Easy to say Klas... harder to do! Maybe you should print out a few pages from caedes.net and when you are suffering from withdrawals you can take it out and look at it... kind of like a nicotine patch... Good luck! You're gonna need it... :-)
Thank you guys. :) lol Sam. I'm not trying to kill myself here. I couldn't be so crule to myself that I stopped coming here all together. I'm just trying to moderate my habits a bit. That's a big step for me as it is. It will probably mean that I won't post as much in the future.
Klas - I have sons and well remember how busy, tired and joyful this time must be for you. So, as a mum, I can say that sites like Caedes, and the sort of people who visit here, will always be around. As time goes on you will have more time again to spend on line. But the years start to really fly by - (in a few years my children will be out in the world) yet it just seems like 5 minutes ago they were babies. Enjoy your beautiful family now, take creative photos of/with them, then the time spent here is like also spending time documenting your family history! maybe that will make the reduction in time easier!
Enjoy being a dad. It only gets better! regards, Mum42.
As a father I find it difficult sometimes to spend the time online that I might like to. I have to give time to my family. What you are doing is a very positive thing.

Klas, i'm sorry to hear this, but i am also happy 4 u. good things come in small doses, if its too constant, it becomes a luxury that u'd take for granted & like urself during the last server down, i felt that it was drawing too much of my attention. moderation is indeed the key. Grim said it best,i will also miss ur comments & input,but we made up for it, with collaborations all around, & u did also win a competition, so all in all, wicked time, it was a pleasure & although i wont have any expectations I will look 4ward to ur future works, as they have inspired me, it has been a pleasure working with u, i still have a manip that i did that i didnt post but i was gonna email to u. do drop me a line from time to time, as i enjoyed the convos( & the rants :p ) that we had. best of luck Klas, & u r doing the right & wiser thing. hats off to ye : {D thanx Klas
Thank you Avi. I enjoyed the collaboration project with you immensely, I learnt very much from it and I had a ball. I'm afraid I didn't have enough talent to do so much out of the shots you sent me. I really liked a lot of them but they seemed to hard to work with. Please send me that edit by the way. :) I love watching what you do to my photos. :) I'm happy that I've helped to inspire you in some way. That is a big thing for me since I so much enjoy the stuff you do. I'll be around though. Just not all the time. ^_^ I'll still be watching your gallery though. I have a few select peoples galleries I'll keep bookmarked for quick access when I need my fix. :D
pah, not enuf talent? u gotto be joking rite? since starting late last year i dont think someone lacking in talent could end up in the first page of the much debated author list. but i guess u could be one of those folks who would stress so much about an exam but end up getting A's. :p & as for the difficult photos to work with,my only excuse is that i had an average digital camera,if u need anymore newer better stuff, i' would be happy to do so., i'm gonna tone down the amount as well hopefully, but not b4 i have a good blast at using the new camera....& getting some good results. i need to concentrate on tangible things around me. : ) but i'll be kicking about as well.
Sorry for expressing myself poorly. I don't deny I have some talent for shooting photos, but I'm far from a pro. Editing them is a whole another story... That's what I'm not so talented in. ^_^ It's great fun though. I'll get back to you if I should happen to have some spare time over for editing experiments. As it is right now it's not the right time to start new projects for me so you don't need to send me new shots. I'm looking forward seeing more photography posts from you by the way. :)
no problem, Klas, i didnt mean now about fresh exchange of work, if u r trying to ease up ,now is definitely not the time, what i meant was in the future sometime, as for the photography I shall endeavour to achieve the same quality as u have. : )
You know that I appreciate your photos and your talent. You uploaded many works with a big personality and I am certain that they will haunt caedes galleries for a long time...
You are going to miss me also for the niceness of your comments. I would like that you'll visit us from time to time....
But you are right! Life is made of choices. You make your choice with elegance, as you take your photos. Your wife and your son have a lot of chance.
Thank you Pierre and Lucy. I'll be around. Like GRiM said it's only a semi-farewell. :)
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your shots Avi. I saw your recent macros today. Very promising stuff! I'm sure you'll exceed my quality soon enough. :)
It's not that I have to stop coming here but I will not have time to comment on so many of yours work as I would like to.

I guess I figured this out the last couple of blackout here. Caedes has become a too large part of my life. I still like to come here and share your company, just don't take it personally if I haven't got the time to comment like I usually does... ^_^ Photography is and hopefully will allways be an important part of my life so I'll post some in the future too. I hope you'll like some of my future work too.
