... to get your wonderful blog back?
;O)
This is a very dark, but very beautiful picture...
merci, lady Clo!
It is much better blown up bigger than the screen will allow. those white things on the hill are poofy dandelions, quite lovely at night.
I just read your comment on the post of Lulu explaining your reasons.
I think I get it.
Many things happen on blogger's world. Some a good, some are not. Everything go fast today. We want too much, and we want it now! But we forget that sometimes, taking the time is a good option. So, Sir Chris, take your time, summer is the season...
... to get drunk !!!
nice pic chris!!
I love deconstructing pics. You are an artist young man and this one is like a charcoal drawing...(Sorry its the painter in me) :) Yes, like my sis told. Take your time... But NOT TO MUCH! DUH!
Chris,
I deleted my blog too, although mine won't be missed like yours. YOU have real talent! I just don't have time. I'm on the internet when I need to be doing other things.
I might still post here, and then again, I might just comment here.
Just for everyone to know, I have OCD, and it effects my life. That's really personal, and can't believe I am putting that out there.
Love this, btw, it looks like a drawing, a really good drawing.
Oh no! Not you too Pinkie. You will so be missed.
Sorry about your OCD that's a toughy.
Certainly wouldn't think less of you for it.
Be well.

Pinky you are kidding right !!?
are still going visite my WWT Blog ?
Anyone else deleting their blogs in the near future?
I've got to go pick two dead links out of my template now because of foolishness.
That is kind of insulting. we are all grownups here. we all have reasons for doing what we do; and it seems to me that i am worthy of a respect that consists in trusting that my reasoning for removal was not frivolous [indeed it is more complex than i have layed out to anyone]. i am not a 17yo urinating on his mountain of crayon drawings because my mom wouldn't buy me a wawipop. i assure you.
i'm still here. i'll still post here. but it makes more sense to me right now that other offerings have as their reason for being, other human beings, and not the blog per se.
You failed to take into consideration it's impact on others.
Honestly Christopher at this point I care not if you post here again.
You are pissing on crayons.
Heatherpink! I'm a pharmacist, (before being an artist) and I understand you. OCD is very difficult. And time is what I miss too! That's one of the reasons why I'm not posting and chatting as much as I would like too. I love your pics, Pinkie! And you are important to this group! Your blog will be missed but you can always make another one when you will feel like it. Take care of yourself! And you are welcome anytime! I will be glad to see your artistic evolution! Same for Christopher. I'm an old photograph but I'm still learning things from youngster like you both! Don't hesitate to post again! I will love that! :)
Whoahhhh
Ok, what to say about all this?
We do have reasons for doing what we do. Well said, Chris.
I would rather post my pictures here. I get a better response here than on my stupid blog anyway. I will still be posting here, and commenting here and on your blogs.
I have a LOT on my plate right now, guys. This just makes my life easier. I still care about you all very much, and I'm not gone.
And, Chris, I still want you to post here. I'm waiting for that photo challenge. I guess I did give you a real tough one.
MP's commment wasn't there when I started my comment.
So I wanted to say thank you for your understanding and thoughtfulness, MP. You are very kind.
My point is Chris focused on his own feeligs, and his only.
Not considerate of his friends.
Please allow me mine in being mad at him.
Okay, everyone settle down. No, I'm not removing my blogs. All 87 of them are staying right where they are.
My blogs are addictive for me but at the same time I know they are beneficial at least to myself. If anyone else gleans something from them it makes me very happy.
Blogging is a very personal decision.
I often find myself with very repetitive thought patterns and as I noted early on in my first blog, I need some place to keep them.
Everyone else is not me. We all have diferent needs and commitments.
We can't allow other's needs to hurt our feelings.
Putting ourselves out there is a brave and frightening thing to do.
Fear amongst any one of us may cause us to feel the repercussion of fear as well.
When I was a little voice all alone
in the blogosphere in 2005, Henri found me. He invited me here to this wonderful blog that he considers to be his child. I know for a fact he's not kidding when he calls us his Web-Pix family.
Knowing him and forging a friendship with him has been one of the most wonderful and enriching experiences in my life so far. It has brought me to all of you, my brothers and sisters.
Thank you Henri.
As a side note, putting yourself in the blogosphere opens the door for good and bad. It's our 15 minutes of fame that Andy Warhol promised us. So we can't let anyone else take control.
I was blog bashed one time by someone and it was a terrible feeling. Here I am still though. That's the chance I conciously take.
Also, if anyone wants to read a very interesting commentary on blog relationships I would refer you to chicybabe's blog. www.chickybaberules.blogspot.com
Peace everybody.
No fighting please. Settle down people
Not fighting (well maybe a little) but Christo's stuff was important to me.
I think it was important to all of us.
If he erases it, that's his choice, but lets not pretend that we are not hurt or affected by the loss.
Heather: I understand, you too take the time you'll need. Hopefully, we'll see you here. :O)
Paul: You have the right to be mad, but not to insult people. In my dictionary, "foolishness" is not a compliment, and a very inappropriate jugment about something you don't know anything about, and is none of our business anyway. I think you should apologise for that!
And Jozee, I love what you said, and the way you said it. Mama! ;O) And I'll go visit that reference you gave, sounds interresting...
AND PAUL AGAIN: I just saw your last comment, and: OMG Paul! Why didn't you say that in the first place? That comment show your feelings and is much more acceptable!
(But I still think you should apologise...)
I think I shall leave this group
Brave of you Jenn!
foolish was a word sent to me by Christopher himself concerning this, before I made my post - I will not appologize for using his own words concerning it.
Henri, take me off Web-Pix
What I think is hiliarious is that it's no biggie that mine is gone.
Fing hilarious!
You should feel loved Chris.
i have reasons for removing my blog that should not challenge anyone else's reasons for having theirs. let not my move be some nihilistic first domino. I am not a selfish fellow. i am fairly intelligent; and i do not make swift moves. if i make a move then it was likely pondered for weeks before the body responded. Something will happen in lieu of having a blog. it seems to me that this will involve a more direct intercourse with people, including people at webpix [especially them]. In addition to this i will continue to post here. but i will not post here merely to please other people. i will not keep a blog merely to please other people. i don't know how any of you view art or view life, but i see it thusly:
i live. this is represented by my walking about in the sand. yes, my walking about naturally happens to form footprints. i turn about to see them and exclaim, 'hmm, that is rather interesting'; and then i capture it. working in the blog, it felt like i was suddenly altering my gait rather unnaturally for the PURPOSE of forming footprints. this seems to me, to place an emphasis that i do not want to live with. this is why i say i am not an artist. i do not see art as something i deliberately set out to make. i do not see photography as an interest any more than toothbrushes are an interest. sure, i like brushing my teeth and i do so; but the toothbrush is instrumental in this; i cannot say that it particularly interests me.
oh crap, i'm not in my journal, am i...
oups.
Heather, the removal of yours was part of the foolishness I was referencing.
I honestly want nothing further to do with this foolishness in total and no, I wan't be badgered by anyone into making an apollogy for stating the truth and my feelings.
I checked the dictionary and these actions qualify as foolish.
No it's not a compliment, I complimented the blogs, I cannot compliment their removal.
Henri!!! Remove me from this group!
I was a little voice in 2002 when I first signed up on blogger.
I learned in those alone days that groups rise and fall but the individual voice counts as the real center of blogging.
My photoblog is gone for a time (not deleted as HP CSB have done).
I have gone to cool off and once again, be me.
Me am good, me am not selfish, me shares.
I've been through every kind of battle the blogsphere and internet have to offer (I help in developing ethernet before the internet was public), I've had death threats by email and the insane hunt me down and call people close to me on the phone.
No I do not fear, but I feel no need to be part of a group, just for the sake of being part of a group.
Henri has tried to do a good thing hre, and I wish him (most of all) well.
But if members of a group cease being individuals, then there is no purpose in being a group.
My blog will be back after a cooling off period.
CSB and Heather, we all love you. Whether or not you have your own blogs or not.
Once you are part of a family, whether in real world or virtual, your individual decisions need to be respected by other people, right or wrong. That is what being part of a group/family is all about.
So respecting that, let us all live happily.
If Paul doesn't like this, he has a right to be upset as well as show his anger to an extent, but not by berating fellow web-pixers, and that is where I differ from you Paul.
I hope we continue to grow as a family, and continue to respect each other with each passing day.
I'll shut up now.
TFD
Way too much has been made of what I said and you've said way too much yourself.
But go all hollier than thou if you want.
THIS IS BULLSHIT IF YOU THINK THAT THE WAY I'VE BEEN TREATED SHOWS ANY SEMBLENCE OF RESPECT
Paul, you are the one who made a blatantly rude and offensive remark by being too judgemental and calling CSB/Heather 'selfish' and foolish etc.
I think you are the one who needs to grow up. And maybe taking some time off from Web-Pix will do you good.
Hollier than thou certainly, Paul, Sir.
Yeah Paul. Seems like you leaving would make things much better for webpix.
I think you should take a small break and then come back to this blog.
Heather Email me i have a question about ocd
TFD, Clo, CSB, Assish...
"Paul, you are the one who made a blatantly rude and offensive remark by being too judgemental and calling CSB/Heather 'selfish' and foolish etc."
Copy and paste what I wrote into a comment.
Then read it.
Then tell me who did the berating here.
I'm clean.
