Kind-hearted and 'animated' Gather member Dan Tomkins (indyphotographer.gather.com) is the recipient of this week's:
'Spirit of Community' Member Award !
Dan is the recipient this week for his continually supportive, helpful, and fun presence in the community. From his trademark comments with amusing animated graphics, to his helpful and informative articles, Dan brightens the community with his knowledge, friendly personality, and eternally optimistic attitude. Each week Dan also highlights Gather Groups that share a special theme, and he passes along exceptional knowledge in photography through his Photo Tips (and Tricks) article series.
It is helpful and cheerful contributions like Dan's that help to make Gather such a special community.
You may view Dan's Photo Tips (and Tricks) here, and see all of his weekly Gather Group recommendations here.
Congratulations Dan, and thank you for everything you do!

About the 'Spirit of Community' Member Award
It takes more than exceptional content to create a vibrant, active community like Gather. It also needs the contributions of members that strengthen the Gather community and foster a welcoming, supportive and positive atmosphere for others.
Community building on Gather can be just as important as the content we publish, and merits acknowledgement, and a little applause from time to time.
Therefore, I identify one Gather member each week who symbolizes these characteristics, and acknowledge their community building efforts through the 'Spirit of Community' Member Award.
Awards are announced each Friday, and will appear as the featured article in the 'Spirit of Community' Member Awards Group.
Nominations are more than welcome. If you know of an individual member, like Dan's that exemplifies the spirit of our community here on Gather, please publish your nomination to the group, or send me a mail message.
