Welcome back!
I'm sorry I can't say I noticed your absence, but 1: I'm not the most observant, and 2: I don't keep track of all the people on DPC. On a personal note, I'm back as well, after not entering two challenges (lol), because my camera was broken. But it is fixed now, and I'm back in the running.
Ha a move of house, much work, and no time for pictures. I have always said that DPC is great if not only for the fact that it makes me take photographs - well I have only taken 3 in the last month (compared to around 900 before)
However, after a submission to the opposites challenge, my bug is back!
No pro gigs ;) but I did spend 2 days / nights with a paparazzi and an OK! Magazine photographer on a shoot which was interesting.
