Ok, So the list is: (all potentials) Bruce Dayton (Sacramento - actually Roseville) Shel Belinkoff (El Sobrante) Marnie Parker (Walnut Creek) John Francis (San Jose) Patsy Kong (San Francisco) John Mullan (Sonoma) Godfrey DiGiorgi (Cupertino)
The first meeting we had was at Muir Woods and Muir Beach. The second one was at Pt. Reyes. This will be the third meeting. The general format has been to meet mid-late morning, shoot for a while. Have lunch somewhere and then shoot some more. Head home in the evening - some of us have had a dinner together before heading home. The current discussion is revolving around shooting at one of the California missions. The one we know most about (San Juan Bautista) is the furthest away and so may not be a good choice. Those that are closer nobody knows whether they would be in good enough condition to warrant doing a shoot there. If there are other suggestions that would be more central and would be conducive to a group like that, please bring them up. We also like to bring equipment that each has to give everyone an opportunity to look/try things that they might have interest in, not to mention having a great time talking and sharing. It would be great if even a few more people in the area would speak up and join us. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, February 7, 2005, 10:14:56 PM, you wrote: SB> I'm in El Sobrante, if one wants to be specific ;-)) SB> Pat, Marnie, John Celio, Phantom Queen and I are all pretty close to one SB> another, roughly in the center of the area covered.
