New York Coming to NY Late May

[kdemas]

Hey everyone! I'll be coming to NY in late May and I hope to be able to meet many of you while I'm there! I'll pop up the details of my trip when they're finalized in the next 48 hours so hopefully we can have a little East Coast/West Coast meetup.

This is primarily a photo trip for me so it will be even more fun than usual to put some faces to names from the NY RFF crew.

Details to follow...

Hi,

I had the chance to meet Kent & his Bay area friends last year. Great Fun!
it is always fun to meet and put real personas to the online personality.
Hope you make it to Boston sometime.

Ciao

Joerg,

It was great to meet you as well! I may be in Boston later this summer. I'll definitely let you know if plans come together.

Yay, Kent is going to be gone for awhile!

Many NYC-ers willing to go out and photograph with anyone. Let us know and I'm sure someone will want to go out.

We always schedule to accomodate guests. Let us know your itinerary and then we'll schedule the May Meet-Up.

Always shooting. John above and I shoot together all the time.

I thought the New Yorkers to be more discriminating.....😛
The times they are changing

We are rather tolerant. We mostly make fun of ourselves and laugh a lot. I even bring my Nikon SLR's to the meet-ups regularly. Generally I don't get beat up so bad.

John above calls my cameras "monsters" BTW because I really know how to pimp out a camera. LOL.

They're monsters because of their size. Cal showed us the size discrepancy in muscle mass between his his right and left arms at the meet up at Puck Fair on Sunday. Carrying the F3P with Noct Nikkor and whatever else he has attached to it is like carrying one right-hand specific 8lb barbell!

I also am deformed. My right arm is almost an inch longer possibly due to the effects of gravity.

Also Phil knows how heavy those old Fuji's are that shoot 120 and have interchangable lenses. I only have three of them. LOL.

Seriously I'm not a big guy like John above and weigh only 155 pounds. Although I'm 54 years old I can say that I'm an old man trapped in a 30 year old body.

So when is the may meetup? I've never been to one (some how missed everyone b/c of something or another) and would like to come.

The culture is that guests who are coming suggest the date that is convenient for them to attend. Also generally Sundays are better than Saturdays, but you suggest the date.

The location is Puck Fair and the time generally is 1:00 PM.

So, which day is the May meet-up?

 

[Calzone]

I guess by the title of this thread sometime late in May so perhaps some guests can visit.

I already know that Saturday May 19th is no good for me as I already have plans. Perhaps Sunday May 20th or Sunday May 27th should be favored.

Hopefully someone chimes in soon to narrow it down further.

20th or 27th works for me.

Helen,

I'll bring my Plaubel to show you, because I consider you the Queen of the 21mm FOV, but this camera makes a 6x9 negative. Also know its a Super Augulon.

[mervynyan]

so what is the date?

 

[Lauffray]

hey that's cool, I might be in NYC from 18-25 May

 

[kdemas]

I was hoping to meet you guys this month but my trip is on hold. At the worst I'll be there in August.
