My last picture for the 10 points a photo promotion. I just posted my very last photo for this promotion at 10:19 PM EDT. <a href=http://www.gather.com/viewImage.jsp?fileId=3096224744264109&memberId=75324>me at 40 <a/>
I published it to a whole bunch of groups , many of the 471 pictures that I have posted are just to family , some are just to a couple of groups, the last one I took time to publish to a ton of groups so I hope more people will see it . The crazy thought is running through my mind now is “gee Wendy 29 more photos and you’d have an even 500. “ Oh well I will pass, my neck hurts and I am exhausted from sitting here for so long. I sure hope all these posted photos have been worth my effort. I am kind of hoping that over the next month that many of you will click through and see the photos that you may have missed. I know I have missed so very many good photos that my connections and others have posted.
This past few weeks have been hectic , I started off the first week or two with a daily goal, and didn’t always make it , this time I pushed extra hard , can’t resist bonus offers, ,that cost nothing but my time. I have to say I did learn a few things. I have listed a few not in any particular order. 1) How to batch edit photos. Most every photo I have taken has to be resized to fit on Gather so that was a handy too, 2) that one can actually scan through a clear plastic photo page and have it come out almost as good as if you were looking at it in my home . Now I just figured that out yesterday- wished I had figured it out months ago – I have torn apart more than a few photo albums in the past year hunting down baby pictures to post on Gather and for other people as well. 3) I have learned that I really like to talk a lot – which slows me down – I am guessed I might have been able to post many more pictures if I had shut down my MSN. But I find that a total bore, and building friendships is more important than a few more points. Of course I think some of my friends may have shut their MSN down when they saw I was online too, LOL
4) That as many times as I walk around my yard, there is always something more to photograph, even it is only that the flowers have gone from seedlings to flowers, and all the trees are now in blossom. Taking pictures makes one slow down, and notice a lot more than you would other wise.
That helps me think about my blessings and be thankful for them. I found myself observing my pets more as well, looking to capture that special look or perfect shot as our dogs interact with each other and our cats.
5. I learned that “the more I learn the more I discover there is a lot more that I have to learn “about taking pictures. I am thankful for my digital camera that allows the quality of the ones I do take to be so much better than those I took with a 35mm and before that a 110. I am sure I have learned a few more things but my brain is foggy and that is about all that comes to mind right now.
I am curious as to who might have posted the most pictures since June 13th. It would fun if you’d take a count - it is easy 12 to a page X how many pages. (I used to count them one a time before I figured that out, LOL) And if there is something you learned over the past month that sticks out in your mind post that as well.
I am looking forward to time now to read articles from my many connections that I have missed out on. I am not on as many hours a day as I used to be for many reasons. I have found there are things I like to do besides live on Gather. Surprisingly with a decrease in physical well being, my mental health has improved so that I feel up to giving time to my other hobbies. If you have gotten this far, thanks for so much for reading.

I did the math and in total I posted 318 photos! Geez! It sure felt like a lot more! lmao
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh and out of deperation I tooooo learned how to batch resize photos hahahahaha. My hand was starting to go numb doing them all one by one myself! I had to find a way.
Now lets see if I actually get my points from last week!
Have a good night/morning!
As you can see, I posted an insane amount of photos. I didn't want to be rude and flood everyones pages with allllllllllll my stuff. That's why I asked. When Pam said yes, I let go of my restraint and started publishing away. All my photos last week with exception of a few I did before I got answered were published "Just Me".
My husband and my sister-in-law did the same thing. We're all waiting to hear back on what's going to happen to our points from last week.
Once we found out what went wrong last week, I made a private group for us to publish to. I don't know if you can see those on my pages or not? I'm guessing you should be able to.
Be forewarned though.. there are tonssssssssssss of pages of photos! Most of them are just "snapshots" ... I only published the ones that I was very proud of to my connections and other groups.
Keep up the good work!
"That was exactly his intent, to gloat aboat his point winning prowess while stepping on others. Those of you that haven't heard him talk like that, haven't been paying real attention to him. All of his comments try to make him seem like the victim while portraying others in a negative light. It is a shame that someone with his creative talents has to be such an arrogant, bitter ass all of the time. But dont worry, at the first sign of criticism he will pull his post like he always does. And no, I am not jealous of anything he has, so dont even use that, I dont need gathers money, I write for fun, and I only posted my usual one or two photos with a story. To those who did, I saw some very interesting photos, thank you"

My, my. Now, Jody, isn't it against Gather's TOS to be talking about another member like that? lol
