While just responding to a post, and uploading a certain mp3 for someone here, I sat for a minute or two actually thinking about what I was doing. Not the obvious stuff, but the sheer potential.
This is truly an incredible time we live where people from all over can come, share, chat, joke, work together, LEARN, and expand their knowledge.
I have a friend who plays in an Internet band. He plays guitar, and hooks up with people all over the globe for real time music making. Imagine playing bass with a drummer in Ireland, a keyboarder in Japan, and a six stringer in Nashville.
If you stop and think about what this place really is, and then stop and consider the POSSIBILITES of what we do and can do, it is almost overwhelming.
I have taught people some Photoshop skills, learned a ton about filming, learned stuff from kai about After Effects, MattC has chimed in helped me with photography, video and sound skills, NBCshooter has helped with both photography posts and donated pictures for the PS forum, and the stuff I learn from MattSTL, Yankee and Dave Fisk about the production side of audio has been great. Those are certainly not the only folks, just the ones that popped in my head.
Heck, there are even joint projects happening in the Herofest forum. People working together thousands of miles apart for the sheer fun of creating. And it all works well.
In fact, it works so well, most of us don't notice.
So, if you can, take the time to look at this board, and others like it, and the internet itself for the sheer creative and learning potential there is. It's power beyond words.
Great board, great time to be around.
Cheers to my many talented internet peeps, and to the folks behind the scenes that make it all possible!!
