qtluong Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I am pleased to announce that the new main moderator of the Forum will be Neil Poulsen. For several years, Neil has been very active in the LF community in this forum, as well as in the real world, having organized the Portland LF events. The forum will also be co-moderated by Rob Barker, from the UK, an experienced moderator and a workshop teacher. Thank you for all who volunteered. I have passed your names to the new moderators, should they need additional help. <p> With such a good team in place, I am stepping down for real from moderating the forum. If you've appreciated my efforts over the past five years, now I will ask you a favor: check out my personal photography site at <a href = "http://www.terragalleria.com/"> http://www.terragalleria.com</a>, and in particular the LF images that are for now at <a href = "http://www.terragalleria.com/parks/parks-lf.html"> http://www.terragalleria.com/parks/parks-lf.html</a>, and if you don't dislike too much what you see, please consider linking from your website. BTW anyone wanting a link to their LF photography site can add it at <a href = "http://www.largeformatphotography.info/"> http://www.largeformatphotography.info</a> (follow "Links to LF photographers"). <p> It's been a privilege to help build such a great community. Thanks to all for your participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sal_santamaura Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Tuan, thanks for your efforts in starting this forum and moderating it for many years. OK Neil and Rob, no honeymoon period. Your first task needs to be enforcing the selection of categories for new threads. It appears that virtually all recent threads went in as "uncategorized," wreaking havoc with the archive. First, instill discipline. Then, as time permits (ha!), please retroactively assign categories to threads started within the last year. Thanks to you both and good luck!

pemongillo Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thank you so much Tuan for your time here and especially at the original large format site. I am a much better photographer today because of your efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave b Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 without your work on this forum, I would have been lost many years ago. Thank YOU Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_ellis3 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I'd like to add my thanks and appreciation too Tuan. I discovered this site early on in my large format usage and it's been invaluable to me in choosing equipment, having a place to ask questions, and just making me feel a part of a community of like minded people who are so knowledgeable and generous with their time. I certainly wish you the best and will be happy to add a link to your pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann_m Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I also would like to express my gratitude and wish you well ..... Cheers Annie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_gagnon Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Tuan, I would also like to thank you for the groundwork you laid and attended to for longer than you had planned. This site, although not problem-free (that would be an impossibility!) had been a great resource for old pros and newbies alike. You are leaving two seemingly capable people at the helm. I wish you the best in your new endeavors. I welcome Neil and Rob, the new moderators to their new positions! DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_ryder5 Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Tuan, thank you. You and this site have made a big difference to me and my photography and, I believe, to the large format community in this country. Best of luck, you will be missed.

david_f._stein Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks. Thanks, Thanks. You are a learned man with common sense-a great combination. Please don't forget the main page!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychophoto Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 Thanks Tuan! Thanks everyone, really, but especially Tuan. The LF site was the only thing that got me interested in large format back when I was 15. That site and this forum are what got me this far with sheet film. Rock on.

scott_jones2 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Ah Tuan, you have planted many good seeds. What great work you have done and you are appreciated by so many of us. Thanks you for your unselfish gifts. Yes I will link you up! <p><a href="http://www.scottjonesphoto.com" target="_blank">ScottJonesPhoto.com</a></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_kennedy Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Tuan, as a new LF user, I've visited your site many times and will also add your link to my page. This forum and especially the largeformatphotography.info page have been invaluable in my getting comfortable with the format -- much greater resources than even Stroebel's or Simmons's books. Thanks for all the work. You and this community have inspired photographers who otherwise wouldn't have tried LF to give it a try and find out what they've been missing!

bruce_m._herman1 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thank you, Tuan. Your impact on large format photography through this web site is probably as great as any other contemporary teacher or photographer. Best wishes,Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex_hawley Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thanks Tuan! This forum and the excellent info on you site has been of invaluable help to me in my LF adventures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholas_f._jones Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Tuan, Thanks for everything. I came to this forum 146 posts ago wanting to learn to shoot 8x10 but with only a 35mm background. The forum you founded and moderated helped me along every step of the way. Now I am close to opening my first show (even if it's in my own home!), and however things turn out I've gotten immense satisfaction from LF photography. I couldn't have done it without the forum. All the best, Nicholas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_anton1 Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Tuan, thank you very much for all your efforts.

bob. Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 The largeformatphotography.info site continues to be a source of invaluable info to all: both beginner and experienced and the act of starting this forum way back when, has had a genuine impact on LF photography on the Web and off by providing a locus for the dissemination of ideas and knowledge - something truly to be proud of (and I don't say such things lightly...). Hats off, and 3 cheers to you. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_________1 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 A Big Thank You to you, Tuan, for making this possible. You have always had an invisible hand in moderating this forum which made it one of the nicest ones on the Web. An invaluable resource for its practitioners. And a Warm Welcome to Neil and Rob.
