patricklavoie Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Patrick Lavoie / photo retoucher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertChura Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I don't want it for me but I would recommend Ton Mestrom [Frequent poster) . He is very active and gives honest critiques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15sunrises Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daved1 Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iangriffiths Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Hello Patrick, This is a very generous offer. Please could I be considered for the lucky dip? Many thanks Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathan_stiles Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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 ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikael_karlsson Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthew_kirchhoff Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krisheylen Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbidarra Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil ted Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Ooh, pick me, pick me. Come on membership come to daddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r_johnston Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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....

rmlewis Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 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. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dallalb Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 Hi Patrick, I never won anything in my life, but... Why don't try?

umesh_bhatt1 Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
