I got back a little while ago from a fantastic time in the Inner
Harbor, Baltimore and lunch with our very own Christian Skofteland.
While waiting for him to show up near the Torsk submarine (on
display in the harbor) I had the opportunity to observe the seal feeding and
took a few shots. See Christian, I did not mind your getting stuck in
traffic :-)
We had lunch at one of the restaurants in the Harbor. We chatted on
things photographic, and Pentax, we even had a terse recapitulation of the
latest OT posts here :-)
I had my MZ-S and LX, he had an MX and LX. And of course an
assortment of lenses. It was the very first time I heard someone else using
an LX! I always thought mine were loud with its distinctive THUNK. Though
mine did win the 'most battle scars' award! I can't imagine having more
than two LX-unatics together! That would be a sight.
It was unseasonably warm and sunny with the clouds showing up at the
end. There were good photo opportunities and yes, we may have even gotten
shots of each other!
I always find it most frustrating on one day meetings. It seems we
try to find out so much from one another and get a lot of insight beyond
just the photography. If I didn't have to eventually (good thing my
supervisor is not on this list) get back here to work I would have easily
spent the rest of the afternoon with him.
I have yet to find a bad apple in our bunch. Though I have only met
six people from this list. This outing today makes me look forward to
Grandfather Mountain even more next year.
I will echo the sentiments mentioned in the past here - if ever you
get a chance to get together with a PDMLer, do it. We are a great bunch (as
he wipes away a tear and reaches for a handkerchief ;-)
We left saying we will get together again the next time I am
through,
Cesar
