Well, here's the report....
Matt, Liam and I met at the Borders downtown, had a good ole time hearing Matt's stories about using a Toyo 4X5 camera, we got approached by a few fellows (one a gear head, the other two interested in our work; Matt and I pointed out that Liam is the pro) for a bit of a chat, and every body had a jolly good time! 🙂 Caffeine flowed freely, and so did HC-110 and Dektol, not to mention a touch of Ilford Rapid Fixer (later, when we went for a stroll and hit Central Camera). We later disbanded in front of the Art Institute, where my wife was waiting for me to see the Winslow Homer-Edward Hopper exhibit.
So, it was a lot of fun! 🙂 Of course, we got to play with each other's toys too! 😉
EDIT: the weather got nice enough at around 11 AM, when it was even warm. Go figure...
