Great gallery, everyone. Thoroughly enjoyable.

And Cotty, thanks for the detailed comments. Your comments are almost as 
enjoyable as the photos.

Unsubscribe quick. These guys talk about  tea/coffee, beer, bicycles, 
motorcycles, and cars. And they crack bad puns all  the time. (Unless things 
have 
changed.)

Oh, occasionally, in between  these topics and the standard gear talk, they 
MAY talk about photography, but I  wouldn't count on it.

My guess is trolling.

IIRC, it's a two step sign-up procedure. You have to enter your
information on the sign-up page & then you have to click the link in the
confirmation email it sends you to confirm you did indeed intend to sign up.

On 3/4/17, Brian Walters, discombobulated, unleashed:


Well, we ended up with 70 submissions - well done all!  A fine way to
celebrate 20 years.



As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/


Just had a sit down and spent an hour going through the PUG with the Mrs.

Fantastic selection of images, some I recall seeing previously over the
years, others never seen before. Really enjoyable and sometimes quite
poignant viewing: the images submitted on behalf of those friends who
have left us, really was quite touching. Lovely idea.

I could just say that the whole gallery was great and you should all be
proud and leave it at that.but I simply can't.

There are some really standout images that I can't resist  mentioning,
and some others that merit a word or two, a couple that raised an
eyebrow, a few that made me gasp, the odd meh, several award winners and
one that inspired anger!

In fact I had to explain that the pics weren't just submitted because
the photographer thought his or her image was great, but because it was
an image that meant something within their time on the PDML. There is
history in these images, not just the obvious, but the history of the
photographer, their own journeys and experiences. For instance, I chose
my image not because it is a good image - it's really only so-so. But it
means a huge amount: it was taken with classic Pentax film equipment,
the subject is so dear to my heart, and it reminds me of happy days
watching my son grow up, warm summer days in the countryside,
discovering the PDML, and a zillion other things.

So really, they can't be 'rated' as perhaps in a normal PUG. That said,
These things are *always* subjective and me and the Mrs disagreed on
several pics - she would 'oh wow' herself silly while the same photo
rated a mere 'meh' from me. But this is my email so she can go fish.

My standouts:

A Pug for the PUG by Mike Wacht - because who doesn't like a really good
shot of a dawg.

Grandfather Mountain by Bill Owens - that classic view that makes my
heart skip a beat. RIP Bill.

Gospel by Bruno Macedo - Long exposure producing stunning result, just a
lovely image. Bruno, if you're lurking and reading this, be proud. I love 
it.


Old Window by Simon Williams - my wife loved this. Meh. Good pic tho.

Nephews by Derby Chang - Derbs, this is supreme. Fantastic image, love
everything about it. Sheer brilliance mate. Light a cigar.

Sunset at Grandfather Mountain by Ted Beilby - Ted I've never seen this
before! Touching moment with my lad, made me well up!

The River by Brian Walters - Mrs cooed and aaahed. It's misty water FFS,
get over it. Nicely done though.

A Winter Afternoon by Vladimir Koukal - Vlad old boy, break out the
vodka, I likes a bit a symmetry when I can gets it. Lovely stuff!

Claudia - My First Photo by Krzysztof - WOW. Striking and made me look a
long time. GREAT work mate, must be a photo-god what with one name like
Brassai, Ctein, Cotty (har!)

Leading Lady by Bruce Walker - yep seen it before, dreamy bokeh, great
shot, etc etc, was expecting some nice legs or something. See teacher.

My Girls by Paul Stenquist - not seen this one before, lovely playful
shot, against the window too but nailed it.

Mount Lagorce by Ken Waller - WOW OH WOW. Breathtaking.

Fog in Hawk Wood by Malcolm Smith - LOVE THIS MALC - that is sublime.
You should be doing serious landscape work. That's a winner mate.

Descent by Subash Jeyan - holy mackerel Subers - this is such an amazing
photograph, about the BEST pic in the gallery. Love it completely and
utterly. Find myself keep having to look at it again. That is fantastic.
Can't tell you enough. I'm giving up photography and going to see out my
days as a capybara.

Happy New Year by Matt Burt - the Mrs and I agreed on this one, stunning
colours and atmosphere. Hats off that you worked hard to get it.

Le Disque Bleu by Rick Womer - GREAT shot Rick - real strong atmosphere
what with the colours and the ghostly figures, real sense of place. Love it.

The Gathering by Jay Taylor - There's no great overriding reason why
this pic works so well. LOVE the space around the group huddled together
on the spot surrounded by all this space. Lovely vibrant colours and a
real fun pic. Super!

On the Brown Line, Chicago by Christine Aguilamonster - I've said this
before and I'll say it again. Robert Frank would have been proud to snap
that. OUTSTANDING. Top of the pile, just makes me want to go out and
take photos. Inspirational Christine. But you knew that!!! Go suck on a
bottle,

Ellie Pano by Alan Cole - my Mrs was like 'yeah yeah move on' but I'm
like 'that's really great composition', really like it

Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico by Joseph Tainter - Again, outstanding

G'day all,

Well, we ended up with 70 submissions - well done all!  A fine way to
celebrate 20 years.

It was great to hear from a number of past members - maybe some of you
will stick around for a while. :-)

The submissions are wide ranging in scope so no point in trying to pick
favourites.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

+

So, onwards for the next 20 years...

Next up for May: 'Leading Lines'.

Full Submissions Guidelines here:

http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html

You can submit here:

Verizon just announced they're merging AOL with Yahoo into a new service

Try this again from Yahoo.

I tried to send a reply from my Earthlink account & got a bounce from

It may have something to  do with the fact I haven't used that email

G'day all,

Well, we ended up with 70 submissions - well done all!  A fine way to
celebrate 20 years.

It was great to hear from a number of past members - maybe some of you
will stick around for a while. :-)

The submissions are wide ranging in scope so no point in trying to pick
favourites.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

+

So, onwards for the next 20 years...

Next up for May: 'Leading Lines'.

Full Submissions Guidelines here:

You can submit here:

Cotty -

Really enjoyed reading your review of the 20th Anniversary PUG.  Thanks 
for the kind words about "Pure Joy".


The subjects are our grandson and his father, so, like the image you 
submitted, there was a bit of personal emotion involved in its 
selection. BTW, the image was cropped down a bit from the top to get rid 
of extraneous blank sky, otherwise it's the entire frame. :-)

Just had a sit down and spent an hour going through the PUG with the Mrs.

Fantastic selection of images, some I recall seeing previously over the
years, others never seen before. Really enjoyable and sometimes quite
poignant viewing: the images submitted on behalf of those friends who
have left us, really was quite touching. Lovely idea.

I could just say that the whole gallery was great and you should all be
proud and leave it at that.but I simply can't.

There are some really standout images that I can't resist  mentioning,
and some others that merit a word or two, a couple that raised an
eyebrow, a few that made me gasp, the odd meh, several award winners and
one that inspired anger!

In fact I had to explain that the pics weren't just submitted because
the photographer thought his or her image was great, but because it was
an image that meant something within their time on the PDML. There is
history in these images, not just the obvious, but the history of the
photographer, their own journeys and experiences. For instance, I chose
my image not because it is a good image - it's really only so-so. But it
means a huge amount: it was taken with classic Pentax film equipment,
the subject is so dear to my heart, and it reminds me of happy days
watching my son grow up, warm summer days in the countryside,
discovering the PDML, and a zillion other things.

So really, they can't be 'rated' as perhaps in a normal PUG. That said,
These things are *always* subjective and me and the Mrs disagreed on
several pics - she would 'oh wow' herself silly while the same photo
rated a mere 'meh' from me. But this is my email so she can go fish.

My standouts:

A Pug for the PUG by Mike Wacht - because who doesn't like a really good
shot of a dawg.

Grandfather Mountain by Bill Owens - that classic view that makes my
heart skip a beat. RIP Bill.

Gospel by Bruno Macedo - Long exposure producing stunning result, just a
lovely image. Bruno, if you're lurking and reading this, be proud. I love it.

Old Window by Simon Williams - my wife loved this. Meh. Good pic tho.

Nephews by Derby Chang - Derbs, this is supreme. Fantastic image, love
everything about it. Sheer brilliance mate. Light a cigar.

Sunset at Grandfather Mountain by Ted Beilby - Ted I've never seen this
before! Touching moment with my lad, made me well up!

The River by Brian Walters - Mrs cooed and aaahed. It's misty water FFS,
get over it. Nicely done though.

A Winter Afternoon by Vladimir Koukal - Vlad old boy, break out the
vodka, I likes a bit a symmetry when I can gets it. Lovely stuff!

Claudia - My First Photo by Krzysztof - WOW. Striking and made me look a
long time. GREAT work mate, must be a photo-god what with one name like
Brassai, Ctein, Cotty (har!)

Leading Lady by Bruce Walker - yep seen it before, dreamy bokeh, great
shot, etc etc, was expecting some nice legs or something. See teacher.

My Girls by Paul Stenquist - not seen this one before, lovely playful
shot, against the window too but nailed it.

Mount Lagorce by Ken Waller - WOW OH WOW. Breathtaking.

Fog in Hawk Wood by Malcolm Smith - LOVE THIS MALC - that is sublime.
You should be doing serious landscape work. That's a winner mate.

Descent by Subash Jeyan - holy mackerel Subers - this is such an amazing
photograph, about the BEST pic in the gallery. Love it completely and
utterly. Find myself keep having to look at it again. That is fantastic.
Can't tell you enough. I'm giving up photography and going to see out my
days as a capybara.

Happy New Year by Matt Burt - the Mrs and I agreed on this one, stunning
colours and atmosphere. Hats off that you worked hard to get it.

Le Disque Bleu by Rick Womer - GREAT shot Rick - real strong atmosphere
what with the colours and the ghostly figures, real sense of place. Love it.

The Gathering by Jay Taylor - There's no great overriding reason why
this pic works so well. LOVE the space around the group huddled together
on the spot surrounded by all this space. Lovely vibrant colours and a
real fun pic. Super!

On the Brown Line, Chicago by Christine Aguilamonster - I've said this
before and I'll say it again. Robert Frank would have been proud to snap
that. OUTSTANDING. Top of the pile, just makes me want to go out and
take photos. Inspirational Christine. But you knew that!!! Go suck on a

Just had a sit down and spent an hour going through the PUG with the Mrs.

Fantastic selection of images, some I recall seeing previously over the
years, others never seen before. Really enjoyable and sometimes quite
poignant viewing: the images submitted on behalf of those friends who
have left us, really was quite touching. Lovely idea.

I could just say that the whole gallery was great and you should all be
proud and leave it at that.but I simply can't.

There are some really standout images that I can't resist  mentioning,
and some others that merit a word or two, a couple that raised an
eyebrow, a few that made me gasp, the odd meh, several award winners and
one that inspired anger!

In fact I had to explain that the pics weren't just submitted because
the photographer thought his or her image was great, but because it was
an image that meant something within their time on the PDML. There is
history in these images, not just the obvious, but the history of the
photographer, their own journeys and experiences. For instance, I chose
my image not because it is a good image - it's really only so-so. But it
means a huge amount: it was taken with classic Pentax film equipment,
the subject is so dear to my heart, and it reminds me of happy days
watching my son grow up, warm summer days in the countryside,
discovering the PDML, and a zillion other things.

So really, they can't be 'rated' as perhaps in a normal PUG. That said,
These things are *always* subjective and me and the Mrs disagreed on
several pics - she would 'oh wow' herself silly while the same photo
rated a mere 'meh' from me. But this is my email so she can go fish.

My standouts:

A Pug for the PUG by Mike Wacht - because who doesn't like a really good
shot of a dawg.

Grandfather Mountain by Bill Owens - that classic view that makes my

Gospel by Bruno Macedo - Long exposure producing stunning result, just a
lovely image. Bruno, if you're lurking and reading this, be proud. I love it.

Old Window by Simon Williams - my wife loved this. Meh. Good pic tho.

Nephews by Derby Chang - Derbs, this is supreme. Fantastic image, love

Leading Lady by Bruce Walker - yep seen it before, dreamy bokeh, great

My Girls by Paul Stenquist - not seen this one before, lovely playful
shot, against the window too but nailed it.

Mount Lagorce by Ken Waller - WOW OH WOW. Breathtaking.

Fog in Hawk Wood by Malcolm Smith - LOVE THIS MALC - that is sublime.
You should be doing serious landscape work. That's a winner mate.

Descent by Subash Jeyan - holy mackerel Subers - this is such an amazing
photograph, about the BEST pic in the gallery. Love it completely and
utterly. Find myself keep having to look at it again. That is fantastic.
Can't tell you enough. I'm giving up photography and going to see out my
days as a capybara.

Happy New Year by Matt Burt - the Mrs and I agreed on this one, stunning
colours and atmosphere. Hats off that you worked hard to get it.

Le Disque Bleu by Rick Womer - GREAT shot Rick - real strong atmosphere
what with the colours and the ghostly figures, real sense of place. Love it.

The Gathering by Jay Taylor - There's no great overriding reason why
this pic works so well. LOVE the space around the group huddled together
on the spot surrounded by all this space. Lovely vibrant colours and a
real fun pic. Super!

On the Brown Line, Chicago by Christine Aguilamonster - I've said this
before and I'll say it again. Robert Frank would have been proud to snap
that. OUTSTANDING. Top of the pile, just makes me want to go out and
take photos. Inspirational Christine. But you knew that!!! Go suck on a

Ellie Pano by Alan Cole - my Mrs was like 'yeah yeah move on' but I'm
like 'that's really great composition', really like it

Acoma Pueblo, New Mexico by Joseph Tainter - Again, outstanding work,
teasing with the crop, but absolutely superb.

It may have something to  do with the fact I haven't used that email

Re: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

2017-04-03 Thread Eactivist
My mail does not seem to be showing up on the  list, despite my initial 
test, but after my flip comment to Ann I decided  to add this.

I liked Shel. I like characters, and Shel was a definite  character. He was 
also a d fine photographer. On the whole, I enjoyed him.  Until our 
last photo outing together when his grumpiness outweighed his  enjoyment in 
doing photography that particular day (his legs were bothering  him). 

It didn't hurt that he unabashedly liked my photos. Called them  painterly.

So the PUG picture is a tickle in the ribs to Shel (re  portraits), and a 
remembrance. I don't know if he is still alive. Last I heard,  quite sometime 
ago, he had a physical problem with his legs, had given up  photography 
again, and was becoming a "foodie." (I do not remember the physical  problem, 
but it was not unserious.)

His leg problem is why in later years  he mainly took pictures inside:  a 
chair, a dish of soap, etc. (still good  pictures). But before that, and in 
earlier years he had been a very good street  photographer. 

So I asked him to go to SF with me one time show me how he  did street 
photography. One of our earlier trips (I think we got together, the  two of us, 
3-4 times).

There was a flower vendor. An obvious shot, a  person surrounded by all 
those colorful flowers. So he went up and started  talking to her. (He may have 
first asked if he could take her picture, and she  said no. I don't 
remember.) He talks to her more and is taking her picture all  the time, with 
the 
camera at his waist (he did not need to look through the  viewfinder. I think 
a few others on this list could/can do that too). Finally,  she says, 
"You're not taking my picture are you?" And he said something like,  "No, I 
wouldn't do that." All the time taking her picture.

As we walked  away, I said something like, "That seems a bit underhanded." 
(or sneaky or  whatever I said). And he said, "That's how you do street  
photography."

Well, it makes a good story anyway, and it pretty much went  just like that 
(as far as I can recall). 

He recommended talking to  people to establish a connection with them, to 
relax them, and  sometimes they might consent to a photograph, and sometimes 
they might not.

Amazing! First reactions - astonishing gallery, absent friends, classic
images, just a perfect celebration of 20 years of the PUG. More soon

What an amazing gallery. Thanks, Brian. I obviously missed a lot in those 
first 16 years.


If I scan a PUG a day it will only take 192 days to catch up.

Subject: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

G'day all,

Well, we ended up with 70 submissions - well done all!  A fine way to
celebrate 20 years.

It was great to hear from a number of past members - maybe some of you
will stick around for a while. :-)

The submissions are wide ranging in scope so no point in trying to pick
favourites.

As usual you'll find the gallery here:

http://pug.komkon.org/

(you may need to refresh your browser if you see the previous gallery
there).

Note: The automated submission process usually works well but it's not
infallible.  So, if you made a submission and you don't see it in the
gallery, let me know.

+

So, onwards for the next 20 years...

Next up for May: 'Leading Lines'.

Full Submissions Guidelines here:

http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html

You can submit here:

http://pug.komkon.org/submit/


Cheers

Brian

Re: 20th Anniversary PUG is Up!

2017-04-02 Thread ann sanfedele

what Bruce said - wow !
but have to say two things --
I switched to a different shot in the past and showed in PUG that wasn't 
in the 15th anniversary gallery so no comments underneath about why 
I chose it - Brian cribbed from the 2014 PUG...


but more important - was very glad that Caesar chose the photo he did 
that he took when we were together in NY a few days after 9/11.


and Marnie... you got revenge for me! lol

Best PUG yet!

I really enjoyed browsing those shots and reading everyone's blurbs.
Not going to try and single any out -- it stands as a wonderful whole
and a testament to this group.

Thank you again for all your work, Brian.
