Charlie Newman: Like you, I have had a lot of time to reflect on the past and think about moving forward in the "new normal". One of the highlights of the past year was making new friends in the FAR community. I truly have enjoyed the art you have shared, all of your comments, the suggestions you provided to help make me a better photographer and the kinship I have felt with you. While I am not putting my cameras aside, by necessity I will be dedicating much of my time to personal matters. As a result, I will have to say "farewell for now", but hoping to reconnect when circumstances change. Thank you again my friends.


Charlie Newman: Thank you to the FAR community for your constructive comments, your support and your votes. I am honored to have captured first place in the sunrise and sunset contest. Thanks again. Charlie
    Brady Nielson: Congratulations on your win! It is a beautiful one! -
    Shadow catcher: Big congrats,it?s a beautiful photo Charlie,and you didn?t have to worry about something trying to have you for breakfast-lol! :) LeeAnn -
    Jodi Kay: Well done Charlie! It is just gorgeous! -


Charlie Newman: Unfortunately, I have had a change in my personal circumstances and have to set the photo gear aside for some undetermined period of time. As I am going to have to focus my attention and time on other matters, I also will not be posting or reviewing on FAR for now.

I will very much miss viewing your photos and art each day. I also will miss the support, encouragement and advice I have received during the past 8 months. Hopefully, I will be back soon.

In the meantime, stay focused and have fun.

Charlie

Charlie Newman: Through photography I have learned to connect with the beauty of the world around me. I have learned to see the beauty of nature, not only with my eyes, but with my heart. As a nature lover I try to capture the magic surrounding us. Through my eyes, I will try to provide you with a new window to the world.

Gary Snyder, the "poet laureate of Deep Ecology", put it into perspective when he wrote, "Nature is not a place to visit. It is home."
