I'm sorry . I grew up in Colorado Springs, and while I no longer want to live in Colorado (too crowded), I sure wouldn't want to live on the east coast.

 

[Shmoo]

Los Angeles by way of San Diego...but I'd rather live in Hawaii...

This is amazing but if you stick push pins for all the APUG members locations into a map of the world and then connect them, it spells out "FILM 4 EVER!"

And yet I'm not at all surprised.

It's a good place to live, expensive, but probably not more than San Diego. Downside: no place to buy LF film, equipment or processing - I have my film processed in San Diego. Of course, there is a lack of jobs (except tourist related, and you need to speak Japanese for a lot of these) with most jobs being on Oahu (living in the city), traffic (bad everywhere I know - 1600 miles of road and 800,000 cars on Oahu). On the other hand, at my house, when it gets cold, I close the windows and when it gets warm, I open them - temps are so mild I don't have need of either a heater or an air conditioner), I live less than 5 miles from the beach - the water is warm, everyday.

If just a few more members join in Eastern Europe it will spell out a rather rude remark about digicams.

I think Robert is trying to make us a little jealous. Unfortunately, I live on the east coast, and when there's earthquakes, mudslides and wildfires out west and tornados all up and down the center of the country and hurricanes in Florida I don't feel so unfortunate any more.
Living in western Massachusetts, not far from the wonderful Quabbin.

I go swimming when I hear of those Blizzards that hit the Boston area.

I have to agree with you, Colorado is getting crowded... but I truly know no other, it's not to bad up in the mountains though... which is where I spend a majority of the winter, snowboarding and the like. I will hopefully be going to the east coast for college (Parsons, RISD, Pratt, NYU, or RIT) to study photography. Personally for me I don't think I could handle living in Hawaii, not my favorite climate. -Grant

Ah!
Don't remind me of those!
I had to put up with that suicidal weather for five years!
And not to mention the crazy Bostonians that jog around in t-shirts in the middle of a snowstorm!

Back in Crete, it's the end of October and people still go swimming.
It's kinda unusual though. Summer used to last up to the end of September.
Must be that wonderful global warming...

I had a friend that used to do that up here as well, but he belonged to one of those polar bear swim clubs.

What ever happened to the Colorado Institute of Art in Denver? I almost enrolled there in 1985 or so.
