To a special person who took noticed and quietly shared....Thank you all for your kindness and generosity! For all of the Addicts who have been so generous....thank you!
Now...there is another element that goes along with all of this. Forum Photographers: We have some folks who are very good at photography. I am currently working on a project for an additional two of our forum member's wives who face challenges. Would like to send series of DVDs with about 30 minutes of photos cut to mellow and soothing music. I have been sending some out and they seem to have been well received. The ones I am sending are simply photos I have taken of things I find pleasing. I've been sending them to Sherry all along. There are nothing special....my animal and bird pics...landscapes.. our horses and draft horses, fishing and fish and wildlife from our ranch. I just put them together in IPHOTO...IMOVIE and IDVD and ship them off. The forum is currently raising money to donate some portable dvd players for the onocology unit at the hospital where Sherry was treated so other patients can view those restful videos or whatever they wished to watch during the hours of infusion.
I am asking members of the forum who are photographers if you would be willing to add to the mix. Even your culls would be better then my best efforts. They would never be published other then in the 3 dvds we are providing to our forum members wives. I currently use 250-300 photos per dvd at about 3-4 seconds screen time with simple dissolves in between and some incredible instrumental music with opening and closing titles and credits. If you wish and have the time....I would be happy to have you send me a Quicktime movies with your music embedded. When we mentioned this to Doug and he told his wife, she said she loves the photos she sees here on the forum and said she would love to see our photos.
I realize this is quite a request and also understand that most of you are a busy with family, work and fishing. If you would be willing to take an hour or so and select some photos....I am sure willing to spend the time to put them together....along with everyone else's and get them out. I would appreciate you thinking about sharing some of your stuff with these remarkable families and we really would like to send a compilation from all the forum members.
Feel free to call me at 760 218 4316 anytime soon if you have questions.
Thanks for your consideration.
