About With some screaming guitars of The Subways I say Good Bye to UF for 2005 and also to my "active role" here. The way the upgrade has been handled -like keeping everybody in the dark- didn't meet my expectations. I also asked a question which required a simple answer after the upgrade and was successfully ignored for quite some time now.
I also dislike the way awards has been given. For me it looks like that they just reflect the personal taste of just a few individuals if not even one. I see some really great talents totally unrecognized to avoid the term ignored.
But what bugs me the most is the censorship, the removal of critical comments without any statement about the reasons. That doesn't go along with my personal philosophy.
It has been a pleasure to meet all you wonderful people here and I hope I can stay in touch with some of you. I will however check in from time to time and see how things going.

I wish you all a Merry x-mas and a happy new year!!!
CB

hey CB
have just seen this and am sorry to read that...probably because of my active participation to uf being very limited, i also feel distant enough not to be affected by your reasons for leaving. but you got your point across...we will stay in touch, have no doubts about that.

Oh man, this is not good. One of the stalwarts leaves and what happens to the rest of us, where do we get our C.B. fix? Yeah I know there's the website but honestly where can we see those beautifully gritty urbanscapes filtered through your unique vision? I miss you already man.

This image is full of such energy and joy that it is utterly ironic that it may well be the last one of yours ever posted. As always the deep shadow threatens to but never quite engulfs the players and pushes them where they belong... front and centre. The angle adds the extra dynamism I've come to expect from your stage work. As usual the shot rocks. All the best my friend, please keep in touch.
cheers
Russ

Hey Carlheinz, I had to take some distance from UF and photography because of problems of work and health. I felt something strange happening here and I don't feel so happy anylonger. Could you please indicate me another site where you show your works and feel more happy, if you accept me to go in your steps, it will be a pleasure to keep in touch... Please email me at
mc_lopez@hotmail.fr Thanks and happy new year to you. mc

Hey big bro,

so you're leaving UF... it's like the teacher leaving the class. You brought me here and now I stay here for myself with lots of questions marks surrounding me. Maybe that's the reason I won't pull the plug now. It's always easy to leave when things are getting difficult. I guess many guys think about leaving now - most of them sitting around and carefully watching what's going on. At least the guys from my friend's list are very "idle" at the moment. Just a few new pictures the last days.

I respect your decision though and I see the point. Go on rocking the rock'n'roll business.

T-Bro

Leaving with a smile...is there any other way to go? I can understand your frustrations. The only reason I choose to stay is because of the friendships that I have made through usefilm. And even though I don't agree with everything that goes on, it truly is the best site for photography I have ever found on the web, and I've been through my fair share of them. I couldn't imagine the huge responsibility of having to run a site like this and to try and please everyone and answer everyone's questions-I'm sure its not easy, and that none of it is truly intended. I am in no way sticking up for Usefilm, I just hate to see anyone whose images I admire so much leaving. You are quite literally the best of the best when it comes to doing concert images. There always great emotions in each peice of work that you display, just like the many wonderful songs that have been written. If you must depart, I bid thee a sorrowful farewell, and wish you much happiness...

I've decided sometimes things look worse than they are. Having misinterpretted events totally in the past I know this. I suspect the selectors of the front page have lifted their game.
Still beyond reasons stated I'm sure moving on will serve you Carlheinz.
Your going means I'll miss the chance to rub shoulders with greatness. It has been a great priviledge.
Discovering u.f. was like stumbling through the back door to one of the most chic gallery openings in town. I've been critiquing away waiting for somebody to notice that I don't know anything at all and getting kicked out. Maybe people just think I'm on something or derranged in an artistic way so I've survived. :)
Your ehibit here has been one of the main events, carelessly unpromoted.
Any way, enough about me.
This is a joy.
Very appropriate seasons greetings/seasons farewells.
The camera means a lot to me. I'll miss your showing me how to use it with spirit..

Hi CB,

I hear you, and respect your decision, although I hate to see you go; I always find your images intriguing as well as inspiring, and I'll miss that.

Take care, good luck in the music photography business, and a very merry X-mas to you too, and the best wishes for 2006.

Cheers,

hugo

Well, I shall certainly miss your talent and comments, and I may not be far behind you, sir.

It's unfortunate; there's a feeling the wheels have come off. Please add me to your e-mail list plara@newtek.com

Go in peace, and stay observant to the life around you, with your camera snugly in hand, sir.

You can leave if you want but with all the site updates going on you may be leaving due to a site bug. Reasons for removal are provided in private and can be as simple as there is another thread on the the same topic elsewhere or the conversation has been taken to private email.
