That is one thing that I like in PDML: I am always learning something new about life and people. When starting in this list I read all about Pentax gear and I spent very much money on getting a better quality level of my equipment (I had been warned ... <sigh>) Now I am switching more and more to read threads like camping in Scotland (very nice - must have been fun).

There are two Photography events there each year, "Nature Photo Weekend" which is a nature photo workshop, and "Camera Clinic" a photojournalism seminar. Both events are attended by several list members on a regular basis. You are almost guaranteed to meet the list guy, Doug Brewer, and Bill Owen (and his lovely wife Phyllis) who sometimes seems to live there in his camper. As a bonus, the Event Director for these programs is also the South East US Pentax Rep, so neat things show up for list members to fondle. There will probably will be at least one *istD, maybe several at the Camera Clinic next month. RV? There is someone in the world who does not know what RV means? I'm amazed. RV is short for "Recreational Vehicle", anything from Bill's tent trailer to a multi-million dollar converted over the road bus. That includes what Europeans' call caravans (we call them travel trailers), and the ubiquitous VW Camper Bus. Ciao, Graywolf http://pages.prodigy.net/graywolfphoto
