A WAY OF SAYING THANK... 2011 edition ; )

<p>I come to Photo Net for the past 11-12 years. I enjoy it and i like the way it is. I became a member 10 years ago and i think, by paying my subscription i would help Photo Net get better, add new features and stay alive (maybe they don't need my help?! but i like to think they do) for many years. And becoming a member have its advantage of course.. so why not!<br>

<br /> That say, for this Holiday <strong>i would like to offer 4 one year subscription as a gift</strong> to people who don't have one. For those of you who come here, ask questions...and are not paying yours for whatever reasons ; )<br>

<br /> + this year, Photo.Net is offering a 1 year membership to Popular Photography magazine (hopefully this deal will still be avaible on december 25th?)<br>

<br /><br /><strong>I will pick 4 random name from this post December 25 2010</strong>. Simply put your name in this post, no questions ask, pure chance if you got picked.<br /><br />That's my way of showing my appreciation to this forum, and to make my world a better one...imagine if you had the chance to offer something to a perfect stranger, how happier would you feel after! pay it forward....<br /><br />Merry Xmas, Hanuka, Noel, Feliz Navidad and any other celebration you might celebrate to all of you :)<br /> <em><br /></em><br /> <em>* if you can post image that will make this post even more interesting to look at.. nothing to do with who will get picked, but since its a photo forum.. why not make a effort ; )</em><br /> <em><br /></em><br /> PATRICK LAVOIE<br />RETOUCHEUR PHOTO / PHOTO RETOUCHER</p>

 

<blockquote><h2>ADMIN EDIT</h2>

 

<p>In addition to Patrick's offer, two more subscriptions have been offered anonymously by photo.net users. I also will chip in two more subscriptions, bringing the total to 8 that Patrick will give away. -Josh</p></blockquote>

 

 

<blockquote><h2>ADMIN EDIT #2</h2>

 

<p>Another 4 subscriptions have been donated anonymously. This brings the total to 12 people that Patrick will be selecting. -Josh</p></blockquote><div></div>

<p>I have (had) an account at Flickr. I like this site better. I like your idea. Very generous of you.</p>

<p>Patrick,<br>

Many thanks for your generous offer, and a <strong>MERRY CHRISTMAS</strong> to you.</p><div></div>

<p>Patrick, I don't need a subscription. I just wanted to say thanks for your kind generosity for this offer and all the help your provide here on photo.net. Happy Holidays to you and yours!</p>

<p>Very generous as always, Patrick. I've been here for 12 years now specifically for the discussion forums, but have never been a member.</p><div></div>

<p>Patrick, count me in again for #5...</p><div></div>

<p>Like Louis, I don't need the subscription but it's wonderful of you to do this.</p>

<p>Merry Xmas, though I am of the God Jul sort myself.:)</p>

<p>Joyeux Noel, Patrick, and warm wishes to you and yours this holiday season! The years do slip by, don't they!</p><div></div>

<p>First impression, Montreal was quite nice, possibly in my top 5 in the whole western hemisphere. I was there less than a week...I took this snap while taking a quick afternoon scroll via the metro. It was the apex of my time in Montreal...<img src="http://static.zooomr.com/images/10126644_8017f54627_o.jpg" alt="" width="700" height="467" />. <br>

...back lit flare and all. </p>

<p>Patrick, I also do not need the subscription. I will gladly renew and pay my own. I just want to say, thank you for your participation and what you are offering here. I hope those that are picked are worthy of it.</p>

<p>Patrick<br>

That is a very generous offer you have made. I also don't need the subscription as I plan on renewing anyway. I hope that some that need the help receive your gift.</p><div></div>

<p>I will appreciate having a subscription for the best photo site in the world. Right now, I am on flickr:<br>

Thanks Patrick...Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to all.</p>

<p>Patrick,</p>

<p>Don't have one, not necessarily looking to get one , however I think it is a terrific tradition which you carry on with this annual offer. Although I only lurk on this forum, I've been doing so for years. Thanks to your ongoing generosity with sharing your time, your knowledge and your experience, I have learned a lot from reading your posts. Thanks and Happy Holidays.</p>

<p> </p><div></div>

<p>Thanks a ton! Great gesture during the holiday season!</p><div></div>

Count me in... sorry I can't post an image... I'm on an iPad now... Mac is downstairs, and I'm feeling lazy.

<p>Patrick, this is a very nice offering. I have learnt so much from you and other members, and I have tried to answer a few questions myself - however my knowledge is quite limited to the vast expertise here. Please count me in (I am at the office now - can't post an image)</p>

<p>Count me in :)</p>

<p>Merry Xmas, Patrick!<br>

What a great idea and very generous offer! I don't need a subscription too.</p>

<div></div>

<p>Some nice pictures in this thread. Sorry I don't have a nice one on hand to post.</p>

<p>Patrick,<br>

Very generous of you. I would greatly appreciate it if I won. :)</p>

<p>patrick, how very generous and supportive you are on this site, thank you, virginia</p>

<p>Patrick - this is a very generous offer. Thank you and count me in for your offer. Just saw it and I am on my smartphone... so no image to post. Sorry.<br>

Merry Christmas everyone!<br>

Love,<br>

A.</p>

 

<p>Patrick,<br>

Thank you very much for your generosity. Merry Christmas to you and your family.</p>

<p>Patrick, Count me in! Thank you for being so generous.</p><div></div>

<p>Such a wonderful idea. I purchased my subscription just a few weeks ago but applaud your spirit of goodwill.</p>

<p>I'd happily accept a subscription.<br>
