Regrets I missed this one guys, couldn't get away. Good to see some old (and new faces)....
Thanks to Frank for giving me the heads up on this meeting. Come hell or high water, 'll make the spring meeting.
Just as an opening bid, Hamilton has an emerging art scene on James St. North, pretty dilapidated part of town, cheap rents for the artists I guess. There are dozens of studios featuring all kinds of avant garde art, and the first Friday eve of every month there's an "art crawl", where literally hundreds of people flood the area going from studio to studio, having a glass of wine and checking out the art. I think you guys would like it; some pretty weird stuff going on and a great opportunity for low light street/art/architectural photography. Some pretty interesting people show up......a Bohemian atmosphere, fringe bands, and cheap beer.
Looking forward to more pics from your meeting,
Cheers,
Mike
