Round 10--REALLY???

Definitely Ned! It is way cool and will be preserved to the end!! Thanks everybody for your care in this amazing journey!

toro_mike · Jul 30, 2016

Traveling camera fatigue at the maximum now! So quiet in here...

Shawn Rahman · Aug 23, 2016

Sorry - couldn't let a whole month go by without a post.

Hope every one is well and enjoying their Summer (or Winter, if that's where you are). I'm still shooting film, but just barely, so very excited to get this camera. Hopefully this year, but looking more like sometime in 2017.

Thanks for hitting the thread Shawn, though I think a bigger hammer is needed! I still have the camera, but hope to get it done this weekend. I have the normal litany of excuses as to why it's been so long (work, job hunting, new job, father-in-law passed away - Geez, it hasn't been THAT long!!).

Tap, tap, tap... Is this thing on??

"Slow" photography!

NedL · Aug 29, 2016

Here's where I took the traveling camera... it had a little wider view than this
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)

toro_mike · Aug 29, 2016

Welcome back folks. I'm between jobs after tomorrow, so I will get out and take my photos and get the camera moving. Thanks for your insanity, err... patience...

toro_mike · Sep 7, 2016

We're ready to roll!! A PM was sent to A M Baker. I'll update this again when the camera is in the mail.

Mike

toro_mike · Sep 10, 2016

I just sent another page to A M Baker. Hopefully he sees the PM or this and gets his address to me.

toro_mike · Sep 15, 2016

Nothing... no reply... How long do we give him to respond???
"ambaker was last seen: Apr 20, 2016"
Wow, that's a long time! I hope he's okay!

Mike

flatulent1 · Sep 15, 2016

Time to move on, I think.

Rick A · Sep 15, 2016

I'll try a phone call later today, if no response we will just have to move on.

Rick A · Sep 15, 2016

Tried to call ambaker, phone no longer in service at his home, called secondary number, different person. Lets move on to the next contestant. cdholden, come on down.

toro_mike · Sep 16, 2016

Okay, I am waiting for a PM back from cdholden.

toro_mike · Sep 16, 2016

Hopefully the obituary I found for Alex Baker (d. April 22, 2016) of Poplar Bluff, MO is not him... I'll post the link if anybody wants.

Mike

Rick A · Sep 16, 2016

After cross checking the obit with ambaker's personal info here, it is our Alex Baker that has passed away. I have no words or thoughts to express my anguish on this discovery.

Raphael · Sep 16, 2016

That's very sad news !

toro_mike · Sep 16, 2016

Damn... I was hoping it wasn't... Very sad. He was fairly young and posted here within a couple of days of his death.

NedL · Sep 16, 2016

My interaction with him was limited, but it was all positive and encouraging and in the best kind of spirit that makes this place a community of friends rather than a boring technical forum. I'm very sad to hear this.

MattKing · Sep 16, 2016

Alex's last APUG post is in this thread (#532).

And the post that follows is eery/sad/scary/ironic.

I am so sad.

toro_mike · Sep 18, 2016

So, back to the task at hand. I haven't heard back from cdholden. Come out, come out, where ever you are!

On his profile info: "cdholden was last seen: May 11, 2016"
(there was a url link here which no longer exists).
I hope we're not establishing a pattern here, but does anyone of us know Chris (from Nashville, T?) personally?

Rick A · Sep 19, 2016

Success! Contacted Chris via phone this morning, he'll be checking in this evening. The insanity continues!

Round 10--REALLY???
