I am done with the LF business..

[walter23]

Happy trails.

[D. Bryant]

Sorry folks, with the attitude that is going on in the Large Format business, the last few months and the various health problems I have had, I no longer have it in me, to pursue this any longer, I will fill every single order that I have taken, but I will no longer take any more orders.

I am still recovering from a 6 week stint in the hospital that required surgery to repair my back, and now it looks like something else may be going on, again, I am sorry, I will drop in once in a while to see what is going on...but can't keep up with the way the business is going..

People have become vindictive and want to hurt others...so my time has passed...

I thank everybody who has supported us over the last few years, I have really enjoyed the times we have had together, but at this point, my health is more important, I have a new grandchild on the way, and I want to make sure, I am here to see that child born.


Thanks again for everything, it has indeed been a wild ride!

What's going on in the LF community? First we lose Carol from Flutot's camera and now Dave as reliable LF suppliers. Where will I go for new GG and shutter CLAs? Are we burning all our best resources?

Dave, your health is certainly way more important than anything else. It's also obvious from your post that some people have abused your generosity - I am really sorry for that. The LF community is certainly worse off without you - I know I am!

Hope all the best for you and yours, Dave. Hope you will stop by here and keep us posted on how things are going. I'm sorry to see the loss of a great product; you were an asset to the LF community and many here will miss being able to get your glass.

Dave, I only know you from this forum, and for the praise often given your product.

No doubt the recent circumstances regarding your family have played a big part in your decision, along with your own health. In both cases, my best thoughts continue to be with you.

You have not retired, but have just started the next chapter of your life. That grandchild will keep you focused on more important things than large format photography!

Best regards.

Dave,
Thanks for the glass and your hard work.
All the best to you,
Tom

[David Karp]

Best to you Dave. Be well and enjoy your family.

And, thanks for the nice GG.

Dave,

As a customer of yours, I wish you the best! You will be missed.

Good luck to you Dave. I wish you the very best in wherever your path may lead.

Dave, that's really sad news. As said above, your health and family take priority and I hope the best for you.

As for forums and LF, take time off but don't just leave us. You are far more than just a business and LF parts supplier. You're a wealth of information, a great person and good friend to many. I hope to see you around after you recover!

Rich...
