Well here I am again...

Maybe I've realised what actually happened a couple of years ago...
Maybe I've realised the value of a community...
Maybe I'm just eager for an audience...

Either way... I'm back and want to share my photos / art from the last 2 years...

Here's a couple of images from the last few days to get you going...

Cheers,
John

Lote Tuqiri in Chatswood this afternoon...

Welcome back John! You have been sorely missed by a large number of the older members and it's great to have you on board again. Seems like your photo skills have improved so your absence was not in vain.

John,

Welcome back

I'm back and want to share my photos / art from the last 2 years...

That is what it's about. These are great, and I'm looking forward to not simply seeing what you've been up to over the last couple of years, but also catching up with you and your family once again.

[leek]

Thanks Matt... I've missed you too...

I always knew that the Leek had a touch of boomerang, thank God. It’s so good to have you back my friend.

Thanks very much Gary... Plenty more to share I promise...

Excuse me for not catching up on the rules, but do you have any NSFW rules here? Much of my work over the last couple of years has been Artistic Nude... I'm keen to share if that's allowed, but i'm sure I can find some other works if needs be...

Just in case... here are a few more reasonably safe images...

Cupcakes with a Twist


Power in Perspective


Red Hot


Silhouettes

Me too... What have you been up to? I'm probably going to have to read some of those 52000 posts that have occurred since I was last here...

Every single one of them, John. You should be able to have that done by, oh .... 11 tonight?

Regarding NSFW, (thanx for asking) we have no real issues wrt posting those images - obviously, an appropriate warning in the subject line should be included. The usual basic guidelines apply: four images per post/thread as the general rule, (five is ok every now and then, and more is always ok if you're demonstrating a technique or the use of a tool. If you feel a need to post more, just ask any of the mods.

No more than 800 px on the largest side, and try to keep the file sizes down for those who are on small plans or dial-up.

You might also want to look at our Photographic Journies section: given the length of your absence and what I expect we may be about to see, perhaps that may be a more appropriate section for a good catch-up thread: no image count limits ... just post your images and tell your story. As a general rule, there's little critique of images posted in that section, but I don't expect that to be a problem for you within this context.

That should probably be enough to get you restarted.

Welcome back John, I've enjoyed following your work on RB but its good to see you back here and with plenty of great images to share!

Hi John. Nice to see you you back here. I've been watching your images on Redbubble and I have enjoyed looking at all of them and how your style has changed in that time.
