I am so sorry that someone made those senseless comments to you. I know how difficult it must have made it after that to take pictures. Here you are doing something wonderful by taking pictures of others, and then not only is there not a thank you for doing such a kind act, but they made you feel like something was wrong with you and that you were bothering others. I'm so proud of you that you are going to start taking pictures again! Good for you! We cannot change the past, but we can definitely change the future! You’re welcome, Dorothy, and thank you for the kind words.

I had stopped my "obsession" as one person put it, with taking photos of every event and "bothering" everyone. Then I got sick and my memory of the past 15 years is pretty bad. Would have loved to have photos from the past decade or so to jog my memory! Ironically that person now takes tons of photos. I plan to start again!! Thank you for sharing your painful personal stories. My heart goes out to you. Hi Tammy,

I think the above is so true. My brother asked me to take a picure of him and his motorcycle and I didn't have film in my camera at the time..he died in a car accident just after that..I'll never forget it. Anyway, I like your blog & pictures- I really enjoyed this post and this site! I think the above is so true.
