Rob - you've said it so well and I can only add that my feelings are exactly the same. A belated heartfelt thanks to all who organised the whole book and show deal (mine has still not arrived!).

Yesterday I received my copy of the PDML Annual 2009, it's a hardcover ImageWrap version, ordered 23 April, curiously shipped from Sweden (Priority shipping option). I've just had a chance to cruise though it in a more leisurely fashion and I really enjoyed the book and its contents. A big congratulations to all the image contributors, there are so many great images to study and enjoy, huge thanks to Mark and the editorial team for putting in the time and care. The book design and execution is excellent and leaves little to be desired, the Blurb production quality is also very good. Very satisfying in all. The layout in the DANK-Haus gallery looked functional and attractive, what a huge effort, thanks Christine and team. The live video feed from the gallery was a terrific idea and provided the on-line participants a little of the feel of the evening. Of course it would have been great to have been there but the live chat became a fun little alternate forum for sporadic camaraderie and jest. I enjoyed Cotty's video production too, thanks again everyone involved. Finally the almost overwhelming stream of post Chicago GESO's and PESO's generated by the attendees during the evening at the gallery and later were all great to see. Very sad to have personally missed out on such a momentous PDML get together but very glad to have available so many fine and entertaining images documenting the event. I was there in spirit but would love to be there in person some day to share time and space with some of the talented crew that makes the PDML such an amazing little mail list, thanks Doug et al.! ;-) Cheers, -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
