    Talking Hey I think I see myself in one of your pics>>>

    Penny,

    The one you took from the water of the Colgate clock. The twin red brick towers to the right and behind them is my building. I don't know that I can count up to my 30th floor so maybe I am not in the picture afterall.

    I guess I was wondering what role you play here on the message boards. You seem to pop in at just the right time - like a guardian angel - and fix problems like you did here. You have that "ethereal glow" so I thought maybe you were like the Oracle in the Matrix.
    There is no spoon.

    You can still do me a big favor though. Tell Photo-John that he owes me a picture of me holding a tarantula. If his brain's not yet fried from running this website he'll know what I mean.

    ...

    Hey flattery will get you everywhere! Thanks for the compliments but remember: any camera is just a box holding film. You can create beautiful images using an old Brownie if you want to. To me it's all about the vision.

    Rock on, Super-Lara!

    Rick
    LOL Oh my goodness PJ's boss hahahahahaha no! John's the "Master of the House"
    I can pick on him for you, but it won't do any good

    I do what's called "quality control" dumb title huh? Anywho, there are several sites at Consumer Review, and If someone needs help or assistance, I'm there. Honestly, I didn't have to hang around Photography Review once I was able to guide the members with the ins and outs of new forums, but I just love it here! The people and the photography have me addicted to this site, and if I can still help with forum issues, I'm happy to do it.

    Steve has also encouraged me to stay interested in taking the plunge into the world of photography. Once I'm able to buy a decent camera, gulp, I might just post a couple of photos here. Who knows?

    Heh heh. Sounds like your an addict too ;p

    Yes I should be going to work right now but I am sitting here in front of this computer wasting away the day...

    ...sigh..

    Hey at least you're getting paid!

    Well, just becasue you're not John's boss I still think you should stick whoopie cushions under his chair and stuff. Just tell him Rick did it.

    Thanks for hanging around this site. I enjoy your presence here.

    p.s. We'll keep our eyes open for Super-Lara pics in the future ;)

    As I said, we Gathered again on Sunday with Paul and Michelle. We learned the ropes of shopping at B&H, we did Central Park and then we had lunch together. Do you think any of us thought to get a picture of the 4 of us -- nope! I guess we were having too much fun shooting birds, bums and botanical beauty. That's why there has got to be a "next time!"



    Pictures coming soon -- promise!

    Best to All,
    Penny & Gene

    PICS OF ME ARE A RARE SITING.....NONE ALOUD!!!!!!

    WE TOO had a fantabulous time with THE BOWHAYS .

    It was fun being you personal tripod rep at B&H

    It was fun walking through central park IDing every bird i heard or had seen

    It was great conversing with both of the BOWHAYS

    It was great powering done food.......

    BUT THAT RAIN WAS UNCALLED FOR!!!!!!!

    Dang.

    Shoulda snapped one off as I was standing there in BH with you

    Sounds like you guys carried on the photogathering in true fashion. I wanted to be there with you but I also wanted to get home.

    Yeah, it must've been in the 50's with rain and wind when I left. Nothing like Saturday!

    Glad to have (briefly) made your acquaintance there, friend.

    Wink Hi Rick.....glad you got it figured out.....

    Thanks for all the good posts......I really had a good time....here are some more pics.

    42nd St. Gang
    Times Square - Projectdance.com - from across the street. They were great!
    Skyline & sailboat

    the Queen Mary - cropped to see it closer. I think Joe Mags will have some closer shots as he used his awesome 300mm Sigma lens.

    Good ones Liz!

    Your Queen Mary shot is great. By chance, did you see the shots below by Jakkar of the QM2 and fireworks that night?

    Strange thing, NO ONE IN NY knew about the Queen Mary. I asked my 2 friends who live there and my mom who's been there a few weeks and no one knew about it. I had to explain it to them. And then they all wanted to go I heard about it all the way down here in VA. It was actually a pretty big story.

    Glad you got a chance to post some more!

    Smile QM2 & QE2.......History in the making...

    Seeing the Queen Mary 2 - even from a little distance was one of my high points on Saturday. I was also jealous of Jakkar's shots. Wow! He certainly had a prime spot. I just replied to his post actually. I'm sure you know it was the QM2's maiden voyage and the QE2's last voyage. Nice piece of history.

    Gene & Penny were hoping to go to the fireworks - sounds like they had a busy day. I'm sure we'll hear from them very soon.

    thanks for the nice comments.

    here's 1 quick edit from sunday

    I have a few nature oriented images too, but GENE took basicly the same images.

    I'll not take his fame..... yet

    the color cast was too much for my obsenely tired eyes, so AWAY IT WENT ;)

    this is the castle behind the museum? around 82nd(in central park)

    Hey P&G

    I too had the time of my life! Would that I could make all photogatherings that fun! ;)

    I left just as the weather was getting nasty. Hey, I only promised it would be nice while *I* was there ;)

    Anxiously awaiting more pics!

    Rick

    p.s. Hope your trip back was better than the one out

    Thanks guys!...

    I know you guys are sharing these with each other, but I just want you all to know how much the rest of us enjoy viewing the photos and reading the comments about the weekend.

    Seriously, it's almost like when I get family pics from my sister in Europe...

    It also reminds me how much I miss NY. I would really like to try to get up there for a visit this summer or early fall. Hopefully some of you up that way will have time to get together for a beer and a slice!

    Cool Steve....good idea....maybe a new plan

    Thanks for the comments Steve, and the kind words. I did wonder if other people not involved enjoyed reading the posts. I'm glad you're enjoying them .

    You know, your idea about another NY gathering, along with others mentioning more visits to NY made me think that it might be worth pursuing it further. Because NY is where a lot of people go for vacation, weekends, business, etc., and it's easily accessible - why couldn't we have more frequent gatherings - or just times when a few people could get together for fun. I know I would be there whenever possible, even change my schedule.

    We could put the word out - and even if it's only a few people (we had 6) so what? We certainly enjoyed it. Joe & I were only there Saturday, and Paul on Sunday, Rick 2 days, Penny & Gene 4-5 days including their looooonnng plane ride. I love NY and go into the city as often as I can. It's never boring.

    Just a thought. In answer to your original question - yes, I would love to meet anyone, anytime when they're in NY! I live 25 minutes by bus from NY and could offer a room or two for anyone interested.

    Just to add to your idea.

    Liz

    Well, that's really what I mean...

    Liz,

    I've learned the hard way not to use the "G" word if I can help it. If I come up for a visit, I'd let everyone know, and then whomever can get together gets together.

    At this point, whether it's called a Gathering or not makes little difference to me...

    Hey guys.

    I'll have to bow out of another NY gather - um - get together this year, especially around that time. I am planning a 2-week assault on the Southwest US in early fall and wouldn't be able to afford BOTH (I'll probably be working weekends to pay for it, too)

    BUT if anyone would like to consider a Las Vegas gathering in late September, I'll be there

    Rick

    p.s. Have fun in NY!

    My Two Cents

    Hello all. I'm glad this was put back up. I was wondering what happened to it. I just got my film back a few days ago, and have been too lazy to do the scanning. Let me say I had a great time and enjoyed meeting everyone. Thank god Penny and Gene are such nice honest people and didn't take Pauls advise to sell my speedlight for fifty bucks. I mean I would have at least tried to get a hundred! A love all the pics that have been posted so far, most especially the shot of Liz on the "L" platform that Rick took. Just outstanding! I wish I could have made the park on Sunday. Maybe next time. I really hope we do another meet later in the year.

    Take Care,
    Joe Mags
