Fist let me say I'm sorry for all the inconvenience and how long it has taken to post the 2012 FSM Results.
I have done everything I could do to insure accuracy in the final results. Please take a moment to look over the results to see if you see anything that maybe incorrect.
I'm posting the preliminary results today for all participants to view. If no discrepancies are found by Monday February 11, 2013 then the results posted on the site will be considered final and accurate.
At which time I will PM the Top-3 concerning their gift cards.
Ha, looks like i'm third in this thing, what's this gift card thing about? whatever, if i do get a gift card, i would like you to keep it Scott, you do a great job and it's much appreciated so don't PM me, just keep it.
Please PM me so I can order you gift-cards. Please provide me with your address. I will pay for the gift cards online and have them sent to you address. If you have any questions or concerns please post in thread or contact me by PM.
Thanks Scott for all your hard work that you do for the DPC community.
I agree with John that I'd rather you have the gift card instead. Competitions like these are really what motivate me to get out there to shoot and improve and that's more than enough for me.
Once again a wonderful year of photography...Thank you so much Scott and to the winners..."Hats off to you"...This is why I love this community sooo much....good people, good times and great photography!!!
Thanks again Scott! you have been great at running these marathons and motivating us to do our best year after year.
I am with John and Mark on the gift card, please accept that as a thank you for all your hard work.
Congrats Mark and John on the great finishes. I am honored to be in the company of two of my favorite photographers on Dpc.
Everyone one is thanking me, it is I that should be thanking everyone of you. When I found DPC over 8 years ago I didn't know what it was going to be like. I can truly tell you I had no idea that a community of people could have so much compassion.
Mark, Vikas, and John - thank you for you kindness. And to everyone, thank you! I love this community so much. It has strengthened me and help me and my family though some hard time with love and support. For that, I am blessed.
Keep entering the free study challenges. I will try to, when time permits, set up the 2013 fSM. My wife has two surgeries coming up but I want to continue the FSM. So keep entering and as soon as I can I will post result. It will be retroactive from January.
WD Scott and all the best for your own family "challenges" ahead. Hats off to the Mark and Vikas for their generosity back to Scott with the prize money. If you do manage it I am looking forward to this years FSM, whatever happens.
