I'm exaggerating, of course, but I've seen no effort made to explain what it's about or motivate interest for newcomers to Pentax gear like me. Godfrey ========= Hmmm, there used to be a link at PDML.Net for it -- in describing the PDML. Doesn't appear to be there anymore. Doug may have taken it down when the PUG was temporarily moved. http://pug.komkon.org/ Pentax User's Gallery -- the main page always shows the current month. There are Pentaxians who only exhibit their work there, like Harald Rust, who is very good. Or mainly exhibit their work there and rarely submit PESOs to PDML. When first on the list I submitted some photos to the PUG. When I still had a Pentax camera, that is. It was much more popular before PESOs came along. But it is still a good place to exhibit one's work. Because it is permanent and all in one place (you can go back and look at previous years). Different themes for each month. But each month also has an open gallery section for those who don't want to do the theme. And it used to be more common for people to do some reviews of each month's PUG. Spontaneous, of course, no one is required to. And a lot who did only did a few, usually those they liked best, although some fairly often would do the whole PUG. For instance, Graywolf used to pick out one as the best of that month's PUG. But he seems to have stopped doing that. A lot of us have stopped commenting. Too many really. HTH, Marnie aka Doe (Now in lurk mode except for my thread, 3 crops. I must do something this week or I'll kick myself to kingdom come.)
