ƒ/D

[kier]

Hi Everyone,
For an all-too-brief while, I launched and maintained ƒ/D (www.fslashd.com) and in that short time was able to publish some good content, get some good exposure for some great artists, and foster some good conversation. Unfortunately, life has unexpectedly gotten too busy for me to continue publishing it.

I'd hate to see it die on the vine just because of my own schedule.

If you're interested in taking over the publishing of the site, please message me and tell me something about what you're plan would be. I'll choose the best from the proposals. If you're concerned about the cost of taking over such a huge endeavor, it's $6/mo in hosting and $12/year in domain name registration. I'm not selling the site, but rather looking to pass the torch to a good soul who's committed to giving something to the community.

Hi Kier, I just discovered f/D a couple months ago and have really enjoyed it. I hope someone does take it on and continue your good work. Thanks!

I, too, hope that someone a dedicated as yourself will stp forard and continue f/D. I've enjoyed the site immensely.

I can't keep up with my current obligations, but I concur with the others and I hope someone will step up. Especially since f295 is going away, there's a need...

Thanks guys. Have faith! And NedL, I hadn't heard that Tom was shutting f295 down... I was under the impression that he was shifting focus more towards the symposium and physical space. Did I miss an announcement?

Yes I'm afraid it's true. I sent you a PM.

Thank you for the wonderful site f/D. It's a pleasure to read. I hate to see it go but I can understand how life can go in an other direction sometimes. I hope you'll find a decent successor. I agree with NedL: there is a need.
So please let us know how the transition is working out. Maybe a group of pinhole photographers can take over together to share the "burden"

I do hope the forum remains available as at least an archive resource, even if it is closed for posting and membership.

and Kier - good luck with whatever you do. You must deserve good things as you had the exquisite taste and discernment to feature one of my photographs on f/D

I'm dumbstruck. f295 is a huge loss.
