Anyone using this site by chance? I’ve been on the site for numerous years and had no issues at all. Most recently weekly updates have been hit & miss, visitor stats works off & on, and more importantly I have not been able to upload any images for almost a week now.
Tech support emails are not being responded to but that maybe holiday related.
Let me know if you’re having any issues…thank you.

My friend Mel Greifinger, who has passed away, sorrowfully, used this site for years for private sales. I don't know how much success he had with it though. His life was as a commercial artist painting in oils and acrylics for book publishers, advertisers, etc.

Alan, I suspect your friend Mel had some fairly decent sales over time. His work is amazing. So sorry to hear about his passing.

Thanks. Mel was a great friend and a great guy. He had a terrific sense of humor. I bought one of his paintings linked below. That's me shooting the landscape. He inserted the goose posing for fun. I have the painting hanging on my wall.

Very cool, Alan. I'd seen that image when reviewing the site and wondered about the model / idea that gave him the inspiration. Now I know.

My dad as a young man was a part time model for Walter Baumhofer a well know illustrator on L.I. New York.
BAUMHOFER

Here was a photo of my dad for a cover on the Argosy Magazine.

Now you posted this, I remember that the two of you (i.e. @Alan Edward Klein) had more or less the same conversation nearly two years ago: https://www.photrio.com/forum/threads/argosy-magazine.197568/

You have an excellent recall. I'd remembered posting the info on my dad sometime ago, however, I did not recall it being tied to Alan's posting about that same artist. I had the feeling the reference to Mel Greifinger was something new this time.
Regardless, I'm still having major issues with F.A.A. and to date still unable to post images. Never had any issues with the site in the past and have been using them for numerous years.
