Another chapter ends for us

Some of you would know we’ve taken photos at horse endurance rides for some years now. We have a website and all the photos are uploaded to that and people can purchase any photos they want from it. The website and supporting software is quite expensive but paid for itself with sales. However, we have now stopped taking photos at the rides and are closing the website because of the expense. We offered a discount until the end of this month but then it will be no more. It’s sad in one way but everything comes to an end. We’ve had some great times taking photos of the riders and they have appreciated our input. However, we might need to find something new to do. The photo was taken by me at one of the rides.

We still have copies of them all. The riders have had plenty of chances to get copies.

Thanks. I think the chapters are getting shorter and maybe not quite so much fun but you never know.

It was such a cool, unique hobby for such a long time. It must have brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.

I guess you do have to find something else to do. You and Vince do not strike me as the kind of folks to sit on the couch, doing nothing. I’m thankful you’ve shared so many of those photos with us, too!

It is always sad to have to make a change, but leaving it up would be a drain on you. Still, it has lead to some great memories and people will be able to keep them

It's a pity your website with so many great photos will end. Hope you find something interesting to do.

I think that many of us have enjoyed your hobby, along with those that purchase your photos, just as much as you have. I can understand trying your hand at something else. I hope that those that would like photos are able to log on and get what they can while they are there.
