The November 2011 Corner Newsletter should be arriving at “inboxes near you” later today, and before we send out each newsletter we always make sure to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). This month we have 3 folks who joined the Corner in April (of 2011) and are each already receiving Bronze Commitment Awards (all 3 averaging almost 5 posts per day!): anjin_nav, WHolmes and Sasquatch. Booyah!

Usually a couple of days before each Corner Newsletter goes out (in this case, the newsletter should be going out later today), we take a couple of minutes to recognize and award members of the Corner who have hit posting milestones over the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). We have one member receiving an award this month: jaharris1001. Not only has Jim won several PotM’s and reached the 2,000 post mark, but he also played a big role in “recruiting” a bunch of our newest active members from “another forum which must not be named.” Thanks for your dedication and commitment to making PhotographyCorner an awesome online destination for photographers!

The November 2010 Corner Newsletter is due out later today (YIKES!!!), and before we send out each newsletter we always make sure to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month.

This month we have 1 person receiving a Bronze Commitment Award: erkie (aka Eric).

I’m in the middle of preparing to send out the Corner Newsletter and almost forgot to hand out the Commitment Awards earned in the past month! We have only 1 award to hand out this month: a Gold Commitment Award to chellezfotoz. Commitment Awards are awarded to those who reach certain post milestones (10,000 posts for a platinum award, 5,000 posts for a gold award, 2,000 posts for a silver award, and 1,000 posts for a bronze award) and have shown dedication and commitment to the Corner. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and a special thank-you to Michelle - a fantastic moderator, and all-around great person to have in the PhotographyCorner family. Without her help, the Photograph of the Month contests would start late every month!

The final Corner Newsletter of 2009 is due out in a couple of days (I’d better hurry, too, as 2009 is over in less than 2 days!).

Every month, usually a couple of days before the Corner Newsletter comes out, we congratulate members of the Corner that have reached certain milestones around the Corner, earning them a Commitment Award. This month, while we only have 1 award recepient, the Gold Commitment award goes to one of the key members of the Corner - he basically runs the Premiere Member Projects - none other than Nikon_Mario!!

The July 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter is due out tomorrow, which means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month.

The June 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter is set to go out in a couple of days (hopefully before the weekend, as I’m planning to be camping all weekend) and, as always, that means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). This month, 2 members are receiving awards, and the both happen to be moderators. So a DOUBLE thanks to chellezfotoz and Musteno802 for your dedication and commitment to making PhotographyCorner an awesome online destination for photographers!

The May 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter is due out in a couple of days and, as always, that means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). This month, like in April we only have 1 person receiving an award this month.

The April 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter is due out in a couple of days and, as always, that means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). This month, like in March we only have 1 person receiving an award this month. There are a bunch of people on the cusp of receiving awards, however - just a few more posts, and we’ll have a bunch of people receiving Commitment Awards next month.

If all goes according to plan, I should get the March 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter out while I’m still on vacation (forcast says there might be some rain coming in a couple of days). As always, that means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). While last month we awarded 6 people with Commitment Awards, this month we have only one. There are several people right on the cusp of receiving awards, though, so I anticipate a bunch of people receiving awards next month.

The February 2009 edition of the Corner Newsletter is set to go out in a couple of days and, as always, that means it’s time to hand out Commitment Awards to those that have reached milestones with regards to their post-count in the past month. Commitment Awards are handed out to those who have shown great community dedication & commitment, and have reached a specific post-count milestone (1k, 2k, 5k and 10k). You may have noticed that there were no awards given out in December 2008 or January 2009 - that’s not because I forgot to do them, but because no one hit a post-count milestone in either of the past 2 months. This month, however, we have six members receiving awards. Thanks for your dedication and commitment to making PhotographyCorner an awesome online destination for photographers!

We always hand out the bling in the middle of the month before the Corner Newsletter goes out, and this month is no different. Again we have only 1 member hitting a major commitment milestone (celebrated at 1,000 posts, 2,000 posts, 5,000 posts and 10,000 posts): digital2006. Thanks for all your hard work and contributions to the Corner, Marty!!

While I’m still technically on vacation, I’m now back from my week of internet exhile (I was on Mayne Island off the coast of British Columbia, Canada - no internet access). I promised my wife (and myself) that I wouldn’t work too much while on vacation, so I’m trying to get the essentials done, and I’ll start on the catch-up process when I get back to the office at the beginning of August. This, however, couldn’t wait. I always hand out the bling in the middle of the month before the Corner Newsletter goes out. This month, the newsletter will be late going out (in case you hadn’t noticed), so the bling is late too. There’s only 1 person receiving bling this month, and it’s none other than our Contest Corner Challenge machine: Spicoli, reaching the 5,000 post milestone with a grand total of NINE Contest Corner Challenge wins… Wow. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to Carl who is receiving the award below.

It’s the middle of the month, and I’m preparing to send out the Corner Newsletter which means it’s time to hand out awards around the Corner. We have 5 awards to had out this month, including a Platinum Commitment Award to ohenry (only the fifth Platinum Award handed out to date). Now, these commitment awards are awarded to those who reach certain post milestones (10,000 posts for a platinum award, 5,000 posts for a gold award, 2,000 posts for a silver award, and 1,000 posts for a bronze award), but this one for Carl (aka ohenry) is much more than the 10,000+ posts he’s added to the Corner over the past 4+ years (yes, Carl has been around the Corner for over 4 years), but it’s a HUGE thank-you on my part for all the stuff Carl does around the Corner. Not only are all of his posts valuable to anyone that reads them (in fact, he wrote the article on how to critique a photograph), but Carl also pretty much runs the Premiere Corner and the Premiere Projects (and all he gets is, well, nothing). While I run and manage the Corner more or less by myself, without the help of a select few people like Carl, PhotographyCorner would not be the site that it is. Thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below.

Like clockwork, just before the Corner Newsletter goes out, we take a couple of minutes to see who’s reached posting milestones here around the Corner. We’ve got three this month - thanks to everyone who continues to contribute to the Corner, and congratulations to those who are receiving the awards below!
