Split Meeting Week

We are going to have the first ever "Split Meeting Week".... So "What is a Split Meeting Week" you ask? 

As you can see I'm slow on getting things together.... AND as usual it is just about impossible to co-ordinate everyone. SO..... We'll have to do the food thing tomorrow (Friday) night for a couple of reasons, but I'll also be here for anyone that would like to come over tonight especially if you can't make it Friday.  I'll be here at 6pm, so bring your toy.. ah..... your camera! If you couldn't make the Lightroom night last week then we can do that too.

I don't care if just one of you that comes that can't make it Friday.. that would be great and you can get some one on one!  You know me, I'm always open to talking and playing with cameras, especially a different makes or model!

Why grill Friday night... time... the office is up in the air with software changes and I want to give Eva a chance to be here. She needs it and it has been raining and I have some grass to trim around the house. Plus I need to prepare the food a good 4 to 5 hours a head of time and "I ain't got no time" today.. if you know what I mean.

Lauri talked about bringing a salad... which is really cool... and if you bring your drink... soda and/or beer... we will be set. I've got one burner blown out of my grill of the four but they have been working great and we should be able to get things done just fine.

The grilling will be Friday at 6pm to be clear.

Last Month's Challenge

Click to Enlarge - East Presque Isle Road - Photograph by Kate

In all the running around and outside activities we have forgotten to review Last Month Challenge which was 'Water'.

I see shots from Dave Allen with this new 5DMkIII of Watson... fun as always from Dave. Terry's has been up for a while, when it was nice to see warm weather. Dave M. got his up of the river both fast and slow shots. Bruce has some very nice B&Ws, something he seems to be into lately.... And Kate has several up but with no ID (hint... hint... LOL) I'm not exactly sure how many unless I look at the files names.... There is a shot there noted as "East Presque Isle Rd. - Near a potato house"...  (shown here) a B&W....  Great job Kate a real keeper!!!
