Re: Introduction With Some Photos
Hi Thomas: Welcome to the list. There's a tradition of PESOs and GESOs on this list. PESO stands for Picture Every So Often. It is one photo that you'd like to share with the list and maybe, if you want, solicit comments and critiques from list members, but PDML members are not obligated to comment, but often you'll get a few comments and some feedback. PESO is often put in the subject line along with the title of your photo to identify your post as a PESO. GESO stands for Gallery Every So Often, and this is a group of photos. Like PESO, GESO is often put in the subject line to identify it as such along with the name of your group of shots. I agree with Ken's comments about the moon and train shot.

RE: OT: How thick should your chickens' stockings be?
True enough. I think that trying to raise chickens humanely is somewhat akin to trying to grow tomatoes humanely. They're both living things, but tomatoes are smarter. It shouldn't be an issue, IMHO. Paul Member in good standing of MEATA (Men Eating All The Animals) Organic tomatoes grown in real dirt (which I suppose is the nearest they'll get to free range) taste a whole lot better than the chemically-blasted hydroponic rubbish that's mostly sold.

It's been too long since I actually had fresh chicken, but I don't clearly remember there being much difference in taste. Not like freshwater fish, where the taste drops off quite obviously the longer it goes between pond/river and dining table. And the plucking is definitely the worst part of dealing with fresh chicken.

RE: FW: OT: How thick should your chickens' stockings be?
Maybe you should try it yourself rather than relying on the word of others. When we lived in Singapore in the 60s my mother bought the chickens live from a push cart. The guy would chop their heads feet off and give us the legs to play with, pulling the tendons. Bob Bob W, My long departed grandmother talked occasionally about fresh chicken. You know, the kind where you twisted the necks or cut the heads off, and then plucked the feathers. She always favored store bought chicken, the kind that came in packages in the grocery. I don't think she minded the killing so much as the plucking (her job as a little girl on the farm). And she never told me that the fresh chicken was more tasty.

PDML Oxford Today
We had a meet today in Oxford. I turned up a little late at the King's Arms to find Rick Womer and Mike Wilson (along with Kathy and Katy) sitting outside in the warm summer sunshine. Very soon after, world traveller and entrepreneur Bob Walkden arrived and we went inside for lunch. Well, they had lunch and I had a cup of coffee - spent all day yesterday digging some foundations for a garden shed and I think every bone and muscle in my body was complaining - and to add insult to injury I was badly hung-over We squeezed into one of the small ante-rooms of the King's Arms, a pub I used to frequent in the late 1980's and haven't been in since - quite a weird sensation sitting by chance in the same place I used to all those years ago! I sipped my latte and listened intently to conversation while glancing nonchalantly at the gorgeous butt attached to a waitress. We headed slowly over to the botanical gardens near the river by way of Radliffe Square (and the famous Radcliffe Camera - the big round building seen in many tourist pics of Oxford although it is not a camera obscura as is sometimes believed, rather a big round building housing reading rooms for the Bodleian Library). At the gardens I got a call from Chris Mitchell who I had completely forgotten about! He managed to catch up and we were finally quorate. I only had one of my video cameras along for the ride, I figured I would grab a few shots of folk enjoying some photography out and about in Oxford to show the international nature of the list. I wasn't feeling very inspired but managed to catch a few bits and bobs of Rick's and Bob's. And a bit of that and this from Mike and Chris ;-) Rick and Chris had their K20D cameras and various zooms aboard. Mike Wilson was toting an LX and 20-35mm, and an *ist DL2, along with a rather sinister police baton that he insisted was a monopod-cum-walking stick. I reckon it would give a good back scratch as well, and I kept my eye on it for the duration. Bob had his lovely Leica M8 and would not be separated from it, his hand popping up every now and again to snap with consummate dexterity a passing tableau (see I can talk like what you do mate). He really is a cross between Cartier-Bresson and a cat. My car parking was running out and just as I was off to tend to that, my Mrs rang and said she was in Oxford (hey - **you** try keeping track of her - I haven't been able to in over 20 years!!) and where were we? 45 minutes later and cars sorted, we met with the team as they headed back to the centre of town for afternoon tea. BTW here is a message from Alma before I forget: Hi Mike, Cathy, Katey, Bob, Chris and Rick Really good to see you all again this afternoon albeit, short sweet! :-) Hope to see you all again real soon! Love and best wishes, Alma XX We spent an hour at St Mary's, The Crypt - PDMLers will remember this venue from a meet in 2006 when a similar path was trod - and although I have *no* still pics from today ( I suppose I could do some still grabs from the video - will have a go tomorrow) here is the meet in 2006: http://www.cottysnaps.com/snaps/photoessays/essays/oxford.html Don't tell me the mono pics are all washed out - I know they are and they need resampling or something - I'll get there, gimme time! I'm sure there will be some galleries up shortly. It was a lovely day and great to see friends from the list as always. We're going to organise something up in the wilds of the northeast later in the summer - a coast visit somewhere between Newcastle and Berwick so watch this space. One final thing - Mike, here is that URL for the Manfrotto gear: http://www.morrisphoto.co.uk/ You'll see 'Manfrotto' at right, click on that and enjoy - give the bloke a call, he's very helpful with fiddly bits :-) -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- 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.
