You beat me to it, Paul!😀
What a magnificent group of folks! With all the weather reports and such, we had a tremendous attendance with the longest (disputed?) distance RFF members coming from Houston, Texas and the second longest (disputed?) from Miami. And there were folks from Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and, of course, Georgia!🙂
We started out with breakfast at the Landmark Diner and they ran out of tables as we quickly filled up the back of the diner! After that, most headed to the Dogwood Festival as it was just cranking up, it was hugely attended later in the day, one of the largest in Atlanta all year.
The HCB exhibit at the High Museum has hundreds 😱 of HCB photos displayed, most of the full-frame prints, some enlarged, and was fantastic! Coupled with the video above, I have a much better understanding of the man and his work. My wife, a non-photographer, was elated and thoroughly enjoyed the High Museum, even all the European art, paintings and sculpture.
After that, the RFF mob headed to Little Five Points...the funkiest part of real estate in Georgia and then...ta da!...
David Dearborn and Lori hosted a huge dinner on the patio next to the equally huge cameras (Deardorf 8x10) and a Linhof Technika (4x5) in the backyard! Cool, windy and very warm people. Thanks, David! And, Lori, again, thank you for all of your hard work getting everything ready and cooking such a feast!🙂🙂🙂
