Re: PESO--Chicago, late to the party
Rick, it is a shame that we missed an opportunity to meet and have a friendly conversation. The second shot is wonderful. I'd print it big if it were me who made it.

RE: PESO--Chicago, late to the party
Thanks Bob (x2) and Christine! A couple of weeks ago I bought rubber lens hoods for my 28 and 50 mm lenses. They made these shots possible, because I was able to press them against the glass to eliminate reflections.

Re: PESO--Chicago, late to the party
Those fun fog shots, Rick. Glad you liked the exhibit. Sorry we couldn't meet up. Next time for sure.

Bob and Lynn Sullivan met us at the DankHaus, and we spent a leisurely hour and a half absorbing the Augenblick exhibit. It is really wonderful, and makes the book "come alive".

Re: PESO--Chicago, late to the party
Rick, Great shots form the top of the Hancock. The clouds (or fog) really worked for you! Regards, Bob S.
