PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS FOR EMAIL. I WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY NOT SEE IT...

Due to the high readership of the main site (Strobist.com) it is not possible for me to answer one-on-one questions via Flickrmail or email. If you have an issue with the Strobist group on Flickr, you can always post a thread on that discussion board about your concern.

But please consider just taking a breath and adopting a live-and-let-live approach. It is a very large and public group and there are sure to be people in the group with sensitivities different than your own.

If you have a gear, technical or how-to question, please ask it in the Strobist Flickr group, where you'll get faster, better and more diverse answers. Again, due to the traffic volume of the site, I can no longer do one-on-one lighting/photo/portfolio/etc. questions via email.

If I did, I would be emailing all night, every night, instead of seeing my family. As it is I spend about way too many hours a day *just* on email. I am trying to reduce that time. Thanks for understanding.

One last thing. Given that my photos garner lots of views (because of the site, not 'cause they are anything special) many people use this as an opportunity to invite pretty much everything I shoot to some group. In most cases it is an attempt to raise a particular group's visibility.

I used to spend a lot of time declining and deleting all of the invites but now I just block those people to maintain my sanity. If you got caught up in this, sorry. But it has been a tremendous help to me in the "repeat offender" category.
