Since I joined MM, I've thoroughly enjoyed the constant diet of interesting images in a variety of skill levels and styles.

Over time, I've come to appreciate something else--the opportunity to watch artists grow and develop over time. It's delightful to revisit a familiar portfolio only to find that a surprising creative or technical leap has been made. This insight into the minds of working artists is a treasure and I find it utterly fascinating.

So cheers to you, MM--you inspire me.

Exactly. Well put. I have learned so much coming here and viewing images by Bruce Talbot, Udor, and others. I can look at my images even since joining here and noticing a difference. I can't wait until my portfolio inspires people too.

When a person posts a message like this, we can see it’s sincere and the poster means what she said.

Thank you for such a thoughtful and meaningful post.

Not as good as surfing for a week but MM is fun.
Hard to make fun of Surfers,
Talk about clueless.
Plus it is hard to yell from a surfboard.
how is everyone?
I am tanned like a bad pair of shoes.

I think you actually think like a dog.  How do you do it?  I don't even have words for your thought process.

In all sincerity that is one of the nicest things I have ever read on MM.

As for Jack...I find him fascinating, because fascinating dogs like Jack do fascinating things that never cease to fascinate me!

I have often admired your beauty, your effortless grace... The mystery in your eyes... I cannot tell you what a true pleasure it was to see that this amazing creature was simply a reflection of an even more beautiful spirit, a heart that is true... That seeks to touch others with genuineness. You my dear se a rare and glorious thing, you have reminded me of everything that I love in the best of people. Thank you for taking the time to touch us. You have really made my day, hopefully one day we can work together and I van yet to capture that very beautiful heart of yours.
