I located a link to his obit:

His FB profiles -- which his cousin has been adding updates to -- is here:

I liked Dan and I know he was a steadfast PDML contributor. He'll be missed.

Yes, Larry, harassing the lizards & asses! The combination works well &, 
as you say, versatile & capable (light too). Several members of the 
local Pentax group use the 18-270 & some the older 18-250 screw drive 
too. I use my 55-300 HD on the K5 as a walk-around lens with great 
success. Never use a tripod.

Dan was such a humble and helpful person. We adored him and looked
forward to his posts and photos.
PDMLers all over the world adored him - like me from Canada / India.
We shall see him as a shiny star in the Heavens above and as an

Mac mail and Flickr not playing nice

2023-05-11 Thread Larry Colen
Flickr sends me notifications when someone likes one of my photos.  Those 
notifications have a link to a thumbnail of said photo.  Macmailapp has stopped 
showing those and just shows me a little question mark instead.  I’ve tried 
turning off all mail privacy in the preferences, but that hasn’t helped.

Has anyone else dealt with and resolved this issue?

Wow!  That was only one day after his last PESO posted to the list.

I met Dan only once, when he stopped off in San Francisco.
But I always enjoyed his thoughtful comments on the pdml,
and his fascinating in-the-cockpit photographs from his
time serving his country.  I had gathered that he flew
in Vietnam, but hadn't realised he'd been awarded the DFC.

Well, this is certainly sad news. Dan was a genuinely good guy, an 
unfailingly positive presence here on The List, and a joy to interact 
with off list. The moderator request queue will never be the same.


I can't think of many photographers who had Dan's gift of keeping his 
photos in their own proper context, neither aspirational nor burdened 
with anything other than existing, and I admired him for it.


Rest in peace, Dan. We'll all miss you.

Re: RIP Dan Matyola

2023-05-11 Thread ann sanfedele
This is hard to write...  I knew a bit more about how serious his 
illness was and the nature of it before he mentioned on the list that he 
was going to have surgery.
We had been sharing our WORDLE answers in emails and in early March he 
wrote that he ws going in for surgery and why - he asked me not to share 
that information...
(and I won't now either)  but it was serious stuff .  He was staying 
optimistic about recovery .. heard from him while he was in hospital.. 
keeping to light exchanges.
Then about 10 days passed without and email but I spotted a "like" from 
him on one of my photos on Fb so wrote and asked if he were out of 
hospital... He replied


"Just returned home 45 mins ago.  Sore all over, but otherwise OK. I 
will check in when I can."


 I replied there was no need for him to report just to take care of 
himself..  and I saw he was making posts to the list..


On 4/27 he wrote:
  "How are you doing doing? I am ever impressed at how you manage 
to get along so well in that walk-up apartment.  Take care of yourself."


He's asking ME how I am..  !  (Dan was one of a number PDML'rs who have 
climbed 3 flights of stairs to visit me - He was last here in 2019 when 
Jan Van Wyk
    came to NY and we had a mini PDML  
visit and lunch.. )


"While I don't have much pain, I am constantly stiff and sore... "
   Right now, I am trying to get by one day at a time. Things will 
improve, but very slowly.  I need patience and faith."


I was surprised to see Bruce's post.. thought sure he would be back on 
his feet and walking Blizzard before too long..  so sad.

That's exceptionally sad news and a complete shock.  Dan was always a great
