Love the angle on him - he looks very high church in that pose... ready 
to sermonize.. so clear why he is named Cardinal

What an amazing gallery. Thanks, Brian. I obviously missed a lot in those 
first 16 years.


If I scan a PUG a day it will only take 192 days to catch up.

Subject: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

G'day all,

Well, we ended up with 70 submissions - well done all!  A fine way to
celebrate 20 years.

It was great to hear from a number of past members - maybe some of you
will stick around for a while. :-)

The submissions are wide ranging in scope so no point in trying to pick
favourites.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

+

So, onwards for the next 20 years...

Next up for May: 'Leading Lines'.

Full Submissions Guidelines here:

http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html

You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/


Cheers

Brian

what Bruce said - wow !
but have to say two things --
I switched to a different shot in the past and showed in PUG that wasn't 
in the 15th anniversary gallery so no comments underneath about why 
I chose it - Brian cribbed from the 2014 PUG...


but more important - was very glad that Caesar chose the photo he did 
that he took when we were together in NY a few days after 9/11.

only one that was relatively close. Some up in the trees were doing battle with

Re: OT: Blue Apron

2017-04-02 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
Thanks, Doug.

It sounds like a bit of an adventure.

I get tired of making the same meals over and over, yet I'm not one who
stocks a lot of ingredients up for future use, so the idea has some appeal.

My son, who is a computer network administrator, uses it and likes it, but
he is more patient that I and more precise in how he does things.

I might give it a try when things calm down a bit around here.

This is sad. I bought my first Pentax SLR (a used H2) at Gasser's on Geary 
Street in 1966. When I was in San Francisco a few years ago I went by the 
downtown store, but it did not compare in size or equipment with that store on 
Geary. I am lucky that the Geary store existed when I was becoming interested 
in photography.

Re: OT: Blue Apron

2017-04-02 Thread Doug Brewer
Dan, my wife signed us up for Blue Apron a while back. At first it was a 
kind of adventure and we looked forward to it bringing a little variety 
to our meals. None of us are really inspired when it comes to meals we 
have to cook ourselves. We're busy people who lean toward food as a 
necessary duty rather than as a creative expression and we tend to fall 
back on habit, to cooking the same few dishes.


It should also be noted that we are not equipped with many kitchen 
skills either, so the cheery estimates regarding the time it would take 
to prep, provided by Blue Apron, had to be inflated greatly to 
compensate for the relatively long times it took us to get through all 
the steps. It should also be noted that when I write "we," you can 
assume it means "me," because I work at home and have, apparently, a 
whole lot of free time.


We began with three meals a week, I think, or was it four? I don't 
recall. All I know is that my kitchen became a sort of exotic foods 
warehouse two or three times a week, with deliveries and distribution 
taking precedence over all else in my day before I ever began the tasks 
required to combine the ingredients into a finished meal. And speaking 
of ingredients, Blue Apron has exploded in the field of meal delivery, 
so much so that they were cranking out boxes of stuff at an alarming 
rate to meet demand, so frequently they'd screw up and leave out some 
small but pivotal ingredient, forcing us to search through everything 
multiple times in a futile attempt to locate said ingredient and to try 
to mimic its effect on the meal with whatever we had on hand.


To be fair, the meals were typically very good, if a little redundant, 
and paid off the effort for the most part. There were some duds, of 
course, but more often they'd satisfy us.


I should mention the squash. I am not and have never been a squash guy, 
and it seemed that every meal was curiously squash-centric after a 
while, and had such breezily benign instructions as, "peel and chop the 
squash into one inch cubes." I don't know how much you've worked with 
squashes, but most of them are roughly the consistency of diamonds, and 
peeling one takes engineering and tools I do not have at my disposal.


Finally what killed it for us (me) was neither the stress of attempting 
to replicate the perfection of the included photos, or even the squash. 
It was the time investment. I had to block out hours of my day to prep 
and lash together a meal that lasted at most fifteen minutes before we 
had to be somewhere else. The responses were generally positive, though.


Is summary, we tried it and it was fun for a bit, but it eventually wore 
thin and we went back to what we do best, which is to throw together 
something out of a panicked assessment of the pantry and a silent vow to 
upgrade our available choices next time.


I dunno, though. You may like it.

SF Camera Store Closing

2017-04-02 Thread Bipin Gupta
Hi Larry & SF Bay Area Folks + Others, it is sad when Mom & Pop Stores
close, as some of them become so embedded in a city's cultural life.

Kaufmann Cameras was another one of those  iconic stores in San Mateo,
the Bay Area, California. I believe they moved some where near South
San Francisco an sincerely hope they are doing well.

The owners, elderly folks were gentle people with encyclopedic
knowledge of all things photographic. And their used gear were
certainly cheaper than that of KEH. I can confirm this as I bought
some three Lenses & two TCs from them + lots of little accessories
like Bags, Ball Head, Filters, Lens Caps etc.

Here is a photo of the Store in San Mateo:-

SF Camera store closing

2017-04-02 Thread Bipin Gupta
Hello PJ Sir, here in India particularly in Bangalore you will find
one Mobile Phone Store every 30 to 40 meters (100 to 130 feet).

Smart Phones are a craze especially the latest 4G voLTE (HD quality
sound & video) for as little as INR 3999 ($ 62). I bought a decent one
with a pretty good dual 13 + 5 MP Camera  - with 4100 mAh battery + 2
GB Ram + 16 GB Rom + 2 SIM Slots for $ 94) - LYF Wind 4S.

It is illegal to sell "LOCKED" phones in India. Instead you get a Free
SIM from a Service Provider - Say Reliance JIO - & buy  for INR 303 ($
4.70) with free Local + All India calls + 4 GB 4G Data for (1) month.
"Roaming" is free - that is if I travel to Delhi there are no extra
cost while making a call. All Calls Received + Messages are Free.

Apple has started manufacturing iPhones in Bangalore. At first they
wanted to sell "Refurbished" & "Pre-owened" (2nd hand) phones in
India, but the Govt. refused permission.

Just sharing information to give you an idea of comparative costs.

DSLRs are hot selling "toys" here. Mom & Pop stores are still
dominant, but on line stores like Amazon, Flipkart, Snapdeal etc have
started the "kill".

With half the Tourists in Europe from India, this trend will continue.
People no longer want a P&S Camera as their Smart Phones are just as
good

The Canikons steal the show with starter kits including Lenses for around $ 340.

Unfortunately Pentax does not have a DSLR at this price point.

Regards.

Could it be for ice breaking? There's a chunk of metal running
