Re: PDML "Best Of 2018" Gallery?
Another suggestion: Perhaps we could convince Brian to host a "Super PUG". We could all contribute (say) 3 images from 2018 albeit at slightly higher resolutions. They could then be presented in the usual PUG format & accessed by PDMLers in their own countries where they could arrange to have photobooks printed or even do it themselves. The Quotations for 2018 have already been posted. A nominal charge to cover expenses could be collected up front with the images. What do you think?

Re: PDML "Best Of 2018" Gallery?
Feel free to undertake the challenge. I haven't offered to do it because it's beyond my level of competency. If someone else wants to take on the project, I'll contribute images and for certain I will buy copies of any resulting book.

Re: Stoopid iPhone
That's part of it. Earthlink is not my ISP. It's an email only account that I signed up for several years ago when Time-Warner's email servers went down for several months. Time-Warner's "support" told me I wasn't paying for email, it was just a bonus Time-Warner *gave* me out of their corporate generosity and as such it didn't matter if they ever got the email server back on line because I wasn't being deprived of any service I was paying for. I escalated my complaint as high as I could, but never reached a level where the person I was talking to was able to understand that NOT HAVING email service was indeed a problem. Unable to reach through the phone-line and dope slap the idiot assholes I was having to deal with, I got a non-Time-Warner email only account and put myself on the waiting list for Google Fiber. The other part of it is I don't want to use the iPhone for email. I have perfectly good computers that handle email just fine. I bought the iPhone to run *GasBuddy* and *The Photographer's Ephemeris* and maybe *PhotoPills*. On 1/15/2019 13:04:39, ann sanfedele wrote: Eric, I have a POP connection and use Thunderbird.

PDML "Best Of 2018" Gallery?
I hate to see the PDML Annual die after its fine 10-year run. I cannot, will not, volunteer to step in to try and follow on in Mark’s path, recognizing that Mark not only did very fine work, but also had able assistance from Bill and Doug. So, here are my thoughts about an alternative venue for us to share our Best Of 2018 images. I have a Zenfolio account, unlimited storage. I already pay the annual fee, no extra cost for adding another Gallery to my collection. Are are my thoughts on configuration of a Gallery for our sharing purposes: Access limited, password protected. No real need for this, but possible in case anyone is nervous about putting they best stuff out there on the web. I could also leave the Gallery open and password protect access to individual images at the owner's request. No Expiration date for the Gallery. Downloading not allowed. Max viewing size Zenfolio’s XXLarge = 1550x960 Titles etc Not searchable Metadata viewable? Show Number of Visitors to the Gallery? Do Not allow viewers to order prints (again, I can adjust this or any of the other parameters image by image if so requested by the contributor.) If this seems like a reasonable/useful option, then the way forward would be: A - comment on the proposed parameters B - I don’t see a way for others to directly upload. Send me up to 5 images that you would like to have included. Let me know Image Title and Caption (caption = your name or email or other identifier.) I will load them to the site, untouched, no editing, you submit what you want displayed. I leave town for 6 weeks on 25 February, so 20 February would be a reasonable first deadline.

Re: OT Apple key board help
You need to update macOS. The latest keyboards rely upon new infrastructure for their 'soft key' functionality, in part, that's only available in later versions of the operating system. I get calls on issues like this from my brother and one of my friends all the time. There's no fixing some of these issues without getting everything to either current or to the last, most recent version of the operating system that will install on a given machine.

Re: Sorry about my absence
Ten years is a darn good run for any annual! Remember Stuart Brand and the Whole Earth Catalog … He felt a first and then a last were really all that were necessary for a successful annual. :-) Thanks for all your effort and hard work, Mark. The quality of the books shows your passion and reflects well on all of the contributors. I'm happy to display all ten volumes on my bookshelf, and I show them to folks regularly. Onwards, always and only onwards!

Better than any Junco shot I've ever gotten - can't seem to get the delineation between the varying grades of black and capture the eye glint. I get several a week at my feeders but still no success.
