Hey everyone ... what an absolutely stellar day we had! Yes, this was one of the nicest groups of folks to gather in my memory. The weather was perfect, and I loved being outside. My attention kept being pulled from the table in front of me, to the cameras hanging from necks and shoulders, to people-watching in the plaza, to the dog jumping for a chew toy repeatedly thrown by its master.
As Dave noted, there were lots of folks who came over to admire the cameras, one gentleman even wrote down the URL for RFF on his hand.
Aside from meeting some community members face-to-face, this was my first opportunity to meet with GeneW. We had chatted about the possibility for quite some time, starting when Gene and I were both on the OM list. Well, we finally made it happen! But with the crowd of people, we decided I need to make another trip up so just the two of us can knock around and get to know each other.
Being all my shots are film and I am not exactly fast on processing turnaround, I'll post whenever I get stuff processed and GIMPed or PSed.
One other item ... I couldn't very well go by Trius face-to-face, eh, so I had to "reveal" my true identity. When I joined here at RFF, the forum was somewhat unkown to me. I decided to stay quite private because of the fear of posts going OT and potential unpleasantness. Of course, I needn't have been worried, but after awhile it became just a bit of fun to keep up the intrigue ... except for Gene, of course, who knew me from before.
Anyway, I'm outted now! I go under my own name on APUG and the OM list (not currently subscribed) and as canoeman on DPREVIEW, though I seldom visit there.
Trius
