Photo.net membership for FREE

[patricklavoie]

Ha, i know people will read it..so curious : )

 

I come to Photo Net for the past 6 years. I enjoy it and i like the way it is. I became a member couple years ago

and i think, by paying my subscription i would help Photo Net staying alive (maybe they dont need my help?! but i

like to think they do) for many years. That say, work (and life) as been good for me this year, and i want to

share some of my gain with PN user. So i decide to offer 4 one year subsription as a gift to people who dont have

one. For those of you who came here, ask questions...and are not paying yours for whatever reasons ;)

 

I will pick 4 random name from this post Tueasday Sept 3 2008. Simply put your name in this post, no reason ask,

pure chance if you got picked.

 

Thats 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!

 

*before someone ask *but why dont you offer your money to other more important cause instead?* let say that i do

; ) im also on the board of a non profit organization to promote photography call Montreal Passion Photo, i also

give some of my time to another non profit orgaization call Fondation pour la recherche sur la moelle épiniere

(dont know how to describe it in english) its a organization that help research & people who suffer from a spinal

cord injurie after a accident, specially children.

 

Dont cry : ) That says, i like to offer 4 subscription just because im sure that when you give back, life is

better...at least i feel better.

 

 

So just enter your name here, i will pick 4 lucky one ramdomly.

I don't want it for me but I would recommend Ton Mestrom [Frequent poster) . He is very active and gives honest critiques.

Well, with the hundreds of posts that can be expected in this thread, I have to think that being one of the first will help my chances... Right? And how could you possibly say no to Lily?<div></div>

Patrick,

You need not include me, I'd just like commend you for doing something nice. A nice reversal of the me, me, me syndrome we tend to see so much of nowadays.

[iangriffiths]

Hello Patrick,

 

This is a very generous offer.

 

Please could I be considered for the lucky dip?

 

Many thanks

 

Ian

I'll put my hat in the ring-- I was planning on getting an account anyway, but a free one at this time would be nice. Hopefully the next few years will be good to me ;-)

Patrick:

 

No need to include me either, just wanted to echo Dave DeJoode's words. Nice to see someone else doing something nice

to people for a change.

[matthew_kirchhoff]

I'm looking to transition from photography as a hobby to a career, and have thought about buying a membership, but money's been tight. I'll throw my hat into the ring as well! :-)

[JTG1]

Patric, I too would like to be considered for sponsorship.

 

Thanks,

Jack

Howard Owen likes free things... especially when they're related to photography.

Fred Amico - I'm in, and thank you for doing this.

[silverdae]

When my bills are caught up, I'll pay my way. Until then, tuition calls. I would love to be considered.

[krisheylen]

You are too good. Actually I'm ashamed that I'm not even a paying member after all the stuff I've learned here. Thanks for doing this, and for everything you do here.

[chris_rowe1]

I would love if you picked me.

[rudy_tolentino]

i do really need a subcription. i'll appreciate it very much if i will be one of the four.

[jbidarra]

I don't needed for me but I will second Robert Chura idea. Ton Mestrom his one of the most prolific posters and a very good

Photo critique.

[evil ted]

Ooh, pick me, pick me. Come on membership come to daddy.

[r_johnston]

I'd appreciate if if you could pick me.

Used to have a membership, but it was one of the things that Ive had to give up since I retired. Social Security does in no way cover more than the basics, and with the increased costs the last year, could not renew it, or any of my photography subscriptions....

 

Understand where you are coming from, as Ive spent years teaching 4H Clubs Scouts Photography, and working with the Salvation Army to give back, over the past six decades....

[jay_chadney]

Pay it forward. I am tossing my name in the hat.

[mesquita]

I'm in. Thanks Patrick - you're too kind.

Hi Patrick

 

Montreal Passion Photo sounds like an interesting organisation. Can you tell us more about it?

 

I think it sounds like something I would like to promote in my own city.

Hi Patrick, I never won anything in my life, but... Why don't try?

Thank you very much for your gift: I really appreciate your work and your contribute to Photo.net Forums.

Regards, Alberto.

Your offer should consider a lot of photographers in countries that are not exactly "developed" in a non photographic sense. They would surely be honored to have been awarded your prize.

[kckong]

That is so nice of you Patrick! God bless.
