Are you in charge of this site?

I think that there is a big problem with communication. This is my third attempt at reaching the person who is in charge of this site.

I am really upset that I paid for a membership that is not recognized.

Received another email:

Donor Status Expiration in 2 weeks: 12/7/2008 4:11:56 PM
To: andree lerat

Date: 11/24/2008 8:15:54 AM

Hello, this is just a reminder to let you know that your Usefilm.com donor status will expire in approximately 2 weeks on 12/7/2008 4:11:56 PM.To avoid loss of donor privileges please consider renewing your donor status for another year.

I have renewed my membership. If it has been rejected by the site, then I would like to receive a refund.

Thank you.

Nice shot Al.

I really feel uncomfortable posting this under your image but I don't know how else to get in touch with you. I posted under donor status without result. Please go there and read my message.

Thank you

Hi Al,
I don't mean to bother you by getting in touch with you through one of your images.
But I have a little problem again concerning my yearly Donation. You would have recieved an American Money order for $25.00 by now. I sent it over six weeks ago.
My Usefilm member status is now invalid.
Can you help me get reinstated???
Sorry to bother you, but this is the THIRD time that Usefilm has been late recognizing my member status.

Geeez al it's been years. How the heck are you? well now that your site is so successful I see you don't have time to post your own images. How ironic! It was great to return after travelling around the USA for so long to see just how much Usefilm has grown. Congratulations on a job well done.

I have been popping into the chat room as time and internet connection allows and I finally tracked down your profile and this is the only way I know how to say hi as I don't have an email addy for you. You're no doubt too busy and receive too much "fan" mail now so better my message doesn't go that route anyway.

I still remember the handful of originals who you herded over to join here years ago and some of us are still here al.

Take care and don't work too hard.

Oh...by the way....nice photo. :)

Cheers - Ann :)

Al, I have opend a thread in the donor's forum I wish to be removed. It was made in the heat of the moment. I think you will understand once you read it. Also, If my comments containing what some may think is inapropriate language could also be removed, that would be much appreciated...

I like the composition.. Like 2 siblings.. but one was the favorite and gets to be in focus.. and the other one behind in the shadow.. and out of focus! :) Great colors and use of natural light (i presume?).

Thanks alot for the Staff award! =)

Cheers and keep up your good work.. both as a photographer and site admin! =)

Al,

It may not become a major seller in your inventory of images, but it is quite simplistic in it's nature and that is what makes it basically attractive. On behalf of Philip and you ... 'I had the time' per the attached with a 50% crop if you don't mind ... Okay?

Thanks for sharing and Best of Regards!

P.S. I think Roby was a bit too generous with his '7', so please forgive me for my '5'!

Hi Al..
I see in this close-up one beautiful simmetrie and therefore one little various photo from the usuals of macro flowers! the two flowers the two friends play to you on the DOF create geometry.
who run after themselves!
nice one again...

Prefer this to the other version, like Marillia I personally have a special dislike for colour magenta.

Orange & square are the new black this season:) The chosen dof give this image a muted painting-like effect. The background leaves, the touch of blue give perfect balance to this centered composition.

If this was not directly in the middle I would love it. It just goes to prove that you can make a snap work just as well as a SLR produced photo. I do not want to hear "It's just a snap from you again!!!"
