I made my reservations for the Super 8 for Friday and Saturday. All I have to do now is get some prints ready ...

Some more tempting sights/sites in the Flats for shooting either day.

Hello Folks, I have my own little swap meet going on. I plan to bring 5 packages of Kodak (Professional) Fixer to make a gallon, a gallon package of XTOL, and a gallon of D76 Replenisher. $2 apiece, 3 for $5, or 5 for $8. Also, I'm looking to beg, borrow, or steal (buy as a last resort) an enlarger alignment tool for my Omega D2. Can return the tool immediately after use.

Any takers on any of this stuff?

Tnx,

-- Mark

 

[Axle]

I'll gladly take the Xtol and two packages of Fixer, I'll have the money for ya on the Friday

Good point Mark. I forgot to post earlier that anyone is welcome to bring things to swap or sell. Posting what you have may save you bringing something that no one else wants. Although, impulse buying is still very much alive and well. A look at my waistline is all the proof you need.

You got 'em!

 

[djkloss]

I have a feeling this one is going to be a stay at home to mow the lawn etc, etc, etc. I don't thing i'm going to be able to get away until i'm sure the ol'man can stand on his own two feet without help. will be thinking of you and missing the fun.

You will be missed, but health and family or extended family comes first.
Hope to see you soon. Can you post images that got into shows? I love your creative work.

I going to try to add an attachment ... here goes

Here is one of my lith prints from the show "The Art of the Machine" at Kelly Run Gallery in Cambridge Springs PA

Due to time constraints and absence of foresight (?) the rest are digital, so I can't show you. Sorry... long story...

 

[jp80874]

Always a way around the system.
I've sent you my email address. Please send them that way. Sorry the rest of us can't see them.

[Peter Spangenberg]

For those that might be thinking about coming but haven't decided, I thought I'd post a couple of examples of the lovely sites we frequent at these gatherings (sometimes looking at a map and trying to imagine how cool Cleveland is is a tough sell):

Richfield Farm Museum

Chagrin River

Lakeview Cemetery

Flats



Looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

[jp80874]

Thank you Peter. These really look GREAT. They remind me of some very enjoyable time spent at both the Ohio Farm Museum and in the Flats with you; composing, shooting and planning pictures that we will enjoy for a long time.

I hope some of you who are thinking about coming will come. All the planning for an event doesn't mean much if people stay home. Come on down.

At this moment the Girls and I are hunkering down in the basement as tornado warnings pass just north of me in Richfield near the turnpike and south of here near Rt. 18 between Medina and Montrose. That is about a 5-10 mile span depending on where the tornados are at the moment. Dolly is at a class reunion planning event that has moved from someone's living room in Richfield to the basement.

Hope to see you all this weekend.

John

I forgot to post what I sent to Dorothy by email.

Dorothy,

Thank you. These are really nice. I so like what you do. Looking at these, I just hope you can spend some time at Jim Fry’s OH Farm Museum. It is so full of this stuff and he really wants people to enjoy it.

Hope we see you even for a day, but if not come again another time.

Thanks,

John

John,

I am in for this weekend but not sure what time I will get in on Friday. I have one thing pending I am trying to get out of.

Robert

 

[jp80874]

Thanks Robert for coming. It will be great to see you. Alex is coming in from Ontario late. That is why we usually have pizza at home on friday because people come in at odd hours. It is very disruptive and we love it.

Come in when you can. Are you camping on staying in motel? The ground is as wet as I have seen it in 25 years, so pick a high spot and bring a ground cloth if camping. If late I may be a sleep. 74 year old prerogative.

John

 

[Axle]

I'll be there later than I expected probably won't be there until around 10pm.

Unless I can work something out.
