Re: April PUG theme 20th anniversary
I spent some time looking at the early PUGs, mostly to see what I uploaded back then that might be appropriate for the 20th Anniversary PUG. The main impressions I received, however, were: 1. How many entries there were 15 years or so ago. 2. The variety and quality of the entries. 3. How many names I recognized of posters 10-15 years ago who are photographers that I really respected and persons whom I now really miss. Is there any way we can reach out to these former PDMLers, and invite them to rejoin us at least for the April 20th Anniversary PUG? I know that the posts usually contained the emails being used at the time. Many may have new emails now, but some of the old emails might still be active, and others may be locatable through FaceBook or otherwise. Does anyone else feel it might be worth the effort to reach out and try to contact former members who used to be acttive posters to the PUG and this list?

Sometimes I have wished for a bit more specificity, but it is good to be able to go off in my own direction without too much worry about THE theme. This might be a case where I wouldn’t mind more specificity, but the theme did get me thinking. I have 3-4 ideas, two of which I may yet pursue. When this theme was suggested last year, my first reaction was to think about finding either my first or my favorite post to the PUG. Or maybe a photo from one of those themes which made me push my limits a bit (like the equinox theme where THE hour was well after dark and I didn’t do after dark shots…) But then I thought about 20 years of PDML, most of which I have been here for. I have learned a lot, I have been inspired and often humbled by the quality of others’ work and the depth of their artistry. But then that is not all of it, not even the most important for me. Beginning in the early 2000’s and a photoday in Toronto facilitated by Frank and followed by equally memorable gatherings with individuals and groups in Sydney and London and Naples and Grandfather Mountain and Venice and Brighton and Chicago and Oslo and Jerusalem and Aland and Milwaukee and… I have come to know many fine people. So one thought I had was to do a photo collage of the pictures I have of those gatherings. Idea rejected for several reasons including that I doubt if I can find decent shots of everyone, and I don’t know how to make such a collage. And besides, there have been as many virtual meetings as there have been actual physical ones, so the face-to-face and corresponding photo to document it doesn’t really capture the essence of PDML’s 20 years for me. Another idea is to do a representative shot of some one or two PDMLers. I have a couple in mind. As you can see part of my dilemma is that I want my image to fit with the PUG anniversary theme, but I would also like it to somehow capture the broader essence of PDML. Or maybe I will just submit one of my favorite photos taken sometime in the last 20 years.
