Juan and I have known one another for quite some time. The day that pic
was taken we'd just come back from seeing an exhibition of Salgado's work
at the art museum in Berkeley and were wandering about making some photos
when we came across this fellow stretched out and napping on his
motorcycle. Being the affable gents that we are, we struck up a
conversation with the guy, and Juan showed him the postcard which had one
of Juan's pics on it.
While GFM may be a big meeting place for list members, quite a few of us
have met otherwise - well, I can really only speak for myself as I've met
about 20 or so from the list, some of which (whom?) have become real
friends, or to whose homes one or another has visited.

Well, with the exception of the occasional flocking at GFM, I tend to
think of the members of the list as "separate entities"... so initially it
seemed a bit odd (twilight zone-ish, even) that the two galleries would
overlap... and in such a subtle way. I don't keep up with the list nearly
enough these days to know which circles overlap, etc. So that seemed
bizarre. But a quick scan of Juan's blog & old pdml postings made me
realize that you two must run in the same circles on occassion... And so
the confusion has faded into understanding.
... but I guess the odder part of it for me was having just "discovered"
(In the Chris Colombus sense of the word) Juan's photos, and noting that
one in particular just minutes before seeing yours. So yeah, it was a
little weird.
