Greetings from Kentucky.
I had two thoughts I wanted to state here. First, I just subscribed to this site, after several months of reading all the wonderful information you all provide.
I just graduated college, supposedly the worst time ever to graduate, as I have since been unemployed for about 4 months. It's hard times, but I still keep shooting. I chose the $6 Student/Financial Hardship option. As I only have about $50 cash in my pocket that my mother gave me this very morning. I had been thinking that I needed to subscribe, not just to gain the additional features, but mainly for support. Now, I know my $6 will not cover anything I.T. related, and I know Paypal will take a good $1.50 from my funds (cause they got's to get payed first), but, I still contributed.
This site is just the kind of support I need; when all my friends are convinced that film is dead and digital is the way to go. I still get "Awes" from them when I show them a still wet 8x10...
I love analogue photography, and don't really care for digital images. Now, I will admit that there are some truly breathtaking digital photos out there and they are much praise worthy... but to me, its just not the same. I have had many questions and arguments over this topic and one day decided to just quit. I shoot film, you shoot digi... but we both love what we do.
I just wanted to say, "Hi" and that I have supported this site both financially (ha... right), and mentally. I will continue to learn and contribute as long as this site exists. In the future, I will contribute more money when (if ever) I can find the means.
Keep up the good work APUG! Its good to be here.

(I've been there myself not too long ago). APUG is well worth that investment and we're glad to have you here.
hardship is a good thing because it gives you perspective over money.
