I have to go to Dallas in mid July for a long weekend, and am afraid I will not be able to save up for both from the rock bottom I'm at right now. Drat! However, if I sell much of my glass and a few bodies in the next few months, it may just come to be. Neither you nor I should count on it, but...

From: Cotty Bit early but anyone got plans to attend from far and wide this year? I'm finally putting together some [video] material from last year in anticipation of attacking the networks for a commission. Just be interesting to see how far people might be traveling from. I hope to be there. It's about 75 miles from my house. -- 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.

I had to laugh. I was explaining to a journalist mate about the PDML and its spiritual home, and how mesmerized acolytes flock from across the globe to be at this pinnacle of a photographic peak - literally and metaphorically speaking - and he said it sounded like 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'. This resulted in a sudden vision of dozens of PDMLers clawing away at mashed potatoes with forks to produce 8-foot high cormorants. -- 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. -- 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.
