[mou] Closing Website

[Ron Green]

This is to let everyone know that within the next few days I will be 
shutting my website (http://www.greensphotoimages.com) down. The primary 
reason is due to a medical issue with my hands. Without boring you with 
all the details, it is a degenerative nerve condition that Mayo and 
other specialists admittedly cannot do anything about other than use 
medication to help manage the pain. So, after much wrestling and 
waffling. I decided to eliminate the website because it was the most 
demanding and the least necessary. In conclusion, and in brief, I would 
like to share with you the following reasons for sending this email:

1) As a courtesy and to avoid unnecessary confusion for anyone 
attempting to visit my site. Since I receive many emails from MOU and 
MNBIRD members after each posting of images, I thought it would be 
appropriate to let you know, that is those interested.

2) Even though I will not be maintaining a website, I will be actively 
and frequently pursuing  my love of bird photography. I will also 
continue to share my images at no charge to non profit organizations 
(e.g. MOU, etc.) for educational purposes. For inquiries, please email 
me (see address provided below).

3) I will be sending out a small sampling of the best images from each 
new batch that I process. I will keep the lot size to around 4 or 5 
images and sized appropriately for email. The file overhead should be 
manageable by most ISP's. So, if you are interested in being on the 
distribution list, send me your email address.

4) I want to thank all of you who have visited my site and provided 
great feedback and encouragement via email. Many thanks go to those 
especially who have helped me with Id'ing various birds and wildlife 
prior to posting, as well as recommended corrections after.

Again, thanks to everyone who has visited my site.
