Ray Prevost |
 A post by long time DWF Pro Member Ray Prevost is on of the most sought after replies when a member asks a "What would you do?" question on the DWF forums. What some of you may not know is that beyond being a whiz with words Ray is also a damn fine photographer and a Photoshop master.
In our Featured Member interview Ray offers the following advise, "Don’t be afraid to fail. Don’t worry what others think. Easily said, harder to do. But there is no forward movement, no growth, if you are content with where you are now."
