I've just run some prints off on my little Canon Vincent.

Looking forward to seeing your 'Texas Leica'!

Not bringing your pair of M6's?

 

[vincentbenoit]

Not the pair, but one of them. With the 35mm 'cron.

 

[Bobfrance]

Looks like I'll be there tomorrow as well. Will take beloved Contax G2 along with some Legacy film to try on and wind/water proof jacket.

Just had a quick look at your blog Mauros - some really nice shots there.

See you tomorrow!

 

[Michael Markey]

All set.
I`ll prob get there at nine and have a wander around the northern quarter and meet you upstairs at the station at ten.

Bring some sunshine from the coast Mike.

 

[Michael Markey]

Sunshine a bit thin here , Paul.

 

[Bobfrance]

Great day guys. Thanks to all for attending!

Sorry about the weather (I'll try and do better next time). However I did deliver on the 'Woman under a giant knitted boulder' and you can't ask for more than that! 😉

I'll try and get some pics up later on today, after I have finished my domestic chores (groan!). I look forward to seeing everybody else's.

Bob. 🙂

I've set up a flickr group, so anyone who wants to can pool their shots here. http://www.flickr.com/groups/1455090@N20/

Here's some of mine (more on my flickr)

*Drum roll*

The woman crushed under a knitted boulder.

Some of our merry band

Another of Hazard's performance artists (diptych)

I think after a while people grew wary of all the photographers hanging around. 😉

But it wasn't all one sided.

Despite the early rain it turned out to be a very pleasant day.

C'mon you film people - get souping those negs! 😀

Bob.

The Ginger haired girl (rachel) with the florescent jacket on is a friend lol. Was out having a drink with her and our mates last night as a matter of fact. Small world

 

[Bobfrance]

Small world indeed Chris!
I had a brief chat with Rachael. I think she is very courageous to do performance art, especially in the pouring rain in Manchester. I thought a diptych would be a more effective way of representing what she was doing. If she want's any shots for her own use just tell her to drop me a line, I have a few others.

Here's of one of the organisers - the delightful Sam.

You should join us and do some shooting next time!

Bob.

 

[Bobfrance]

Come On Guys!!

Come On Guys!!

Post some images up!

Prove to the world that we didn't sit in the pub all day. 😉

 

[Michael Markey]

Well there wasa lot of coffee drunk by Alan ,Sparrow and yourself.And I got to handle the famous dinged M2 ,which hasn`t so much as a blemish on it now.I handed it back quickly for fear of dropping it and starting another thread .

Cooool to Meet the Manchester Crowd....Fun pixs
Cheers to Beer & Coffee & a Click !

 

[Michael Markey]

Thanks Helen and yes , beer was involved but also some street shots.

 

[Sparrow]

All well and good, but the world needs to see the truth, nay it's its right, its inalienable right ... Where are the 100 Dorothies, we need to know!!

 

[Bobfrance]

Was it all just a myth - I don't know.

However something equally amazing.

Vincent, shortly after being the first man to ever leave the Leica shop with more money than he went in with! A story that will surely become legend.

🙂

 

[Sparrow]

Sorry, you'll have to run that by me again

ps distraught at the dorothy situation btw

 

[Michael Markey]

We missed them .
However we were asked to be official photogs for the event ,which runs twice a year, so maybe next time.
We did all go to see Bob`s picture though at the City photo exhibition. Someones got a shot of it...Bob is too modest to post.
