"Good" and "good enough" are not quite the same thing.

I am not sure which of the two addresses is more current, but I wonder if 
any of our Canadians is in the vicinity of either of them (and might have 
access to the local phone directory or something..)






Alin Flaider. Showed me around Bucarest. Lovely guy.


He is listed as one of those who helped with PUG submission process.
(I believe that was in early 2000s, when Adelheid was managing it.)
He is also listed on Boz's KMP web site as a contributor.

The last posting submission to PDML that I could find is dated 2005.
Anyone can reach him?
His address   does not work anymore.

Len Paris.  Worked at the Pentagon and we never heard from him again after
September 2001.  Not on any casualty lists I ever saw but I occasionally wonder

Met a couple of Polish posters and lurkers.  All seemed reasonably normal.  For

Dear All,

While discussing the 20th anniversary PUG, we discussed with Brian
that it would be great to invite as many "old-timers" as possible - to
participate in this PUG.

I know that some PDMLers maintain connection with some of the former
PDMLers via social media (or at least know how to contact them).

I suggest that everybody who has any way of contacting them, would do
that ASAP (via all available channels), - inviting them to submit
their photos to this 20th anniversary PUG.

Please use this link:
http://pug.komkon.org/general/20th-anniversary.html
with the invitation for the anniversary PUG.


---
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teaxWYRH9A4
---

And now, after the break (some nerds might know the hidden message in
this song), some personal thoughts about old-timers.


I am sure people here remember past PDMLers, but I would try to recall
at least a few... (just in case it would help someone).

Over the period of 20 years, there have been several PUGmeisters:
Brian Walters
Scott Loveless
Adelheid von Kirschten
Jostein Oksne
William Robb
Mark Cassino
Steve Graham
Doug Brewer

AFAIK, Scott, Adelheid, and Steve are not reading PDML.
I believe that Scott is reachable via e-mail and some social media
channels (Facebook? Twitter), - I haven't heard about Steve and
Adelheid for ages. Has anybody seen them recently?

There were a few more people who at different time contributed to the
maintenance of PUG:
Rob Studdert, Jeff Renner, Bong Manayon, Maney Gomez, Fred Wasti,
Robert Batten, Alin Flaider, Tom Van Veen, Sid Barras, Delano Mireles,
Flavio Minelli, Gary L. Murphy, Michael Bromm, Yves Caudano, Jan van
Wijk.

(Brian listed them here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html )

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that
list, only Rob, Bong,  and Jan seem to be participating in PDML and PUG.

I believe in the past year or two, I've seen some posts from Fred
Wasti on some forum (PF?) or in some social media, but I don't
remember where, and I couldn't find any "live" traces of him now.

I've already sent a personal e-mail to Boz Dimitrov on Saturday, but
haven't heard back, so, if someone can contact him as well, please do.
(A single unexpected e-mail can be easily lost in a flow of messages.)


Anybody else?


Cheers,

Igor

There are a few list members that I haven't seen posting to the list 
recently. It might be good, if someone can contact them via other 
channels, alerting them to the special PUG, - just in case they are

not reading the list at the moment.

Frank Theriault -- I remember that in August, Paul wrote that "Frank posts 
frequently to facebook".


Christine has not posted to the list anything since early February.

I am sure people here remember past PDMLers, but I would try to recall at

Over the period of 20 years, there have been several PUGmeisters:

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that list, only 
Rob, Bong,  and Jan seem to be participating in PDML and PUG.

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that list,
only Rob, Bong,  and Jan seem to be participating in PDML and PUG.

I believe in the past year or two, I've seen some posts from Fred Wasti
on some forum (PF?) or in some social media, but I don't remember where, and
I couldn't find any "live" traces of him now.

I've already sent a personal e-mail to Boz Dimitrov on Saturday, but
haven't heard back, so, if someone can contact him as well, please do. (A
single unexpected e-mail can be easily lost in a flow of messages.)


Anybody else?


Cheers,

Dear All,

While discussing the 20th anniversary PUG, we discussed with Brian 
that it would be great to invite as many "old-timers" as possible - to 
participate in this PUG.


I know that some PDMLers maintain connection with some of the former 
PDMLers via social media (or at least know how to contact them).


I suggest that everybody who has any way of contacting them, would do 
that ASAP (via all available channels), - inviting them to submit 
their photos to this 20th anniversary PUG.


Please use this link:
 http://pug.komkon.org/general/20th-anniversary.html
with the invitation for the anniversary PUG.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teaxWYRH9A4

And now, after the break (some nerds might know the hidden message in 
this song), some personal thoughts about old-timers.



I am sure people here remember past PDMLers, but I would try to recall 
at least a few... (just in case it would help someone).


Over the period of 20 years, there have been several PUGmeisters:
Brian Walters
Scott Loveless
Adelheid von Kirschten
Jostein Oksne
William Robb
Mark Cassino
Steve Graham
Doug Brewer

AFAIK, Scott, Adelheid, and Steve are not reading PDML.
I believe that Scott is reachable via e-mail and some social media 
channels (Facebook? Twitter), - I haven't heard about Steve and 
Adelheid for ages. Has anybody seen them recently?


There were a few more people who at different time contributed to the 
maintenance of PUG:
Rob Studdert, Jeff Renner, Bong Manayon, Maney Gomez, Fred Wasti, 
Robert Batten, Alin Flaider, Tom Van Veen, Sid Barras, Delano Mireles, 
Flavio Minelli, Gary L. Murphy, Michael Bromm, Yves Caudano, Jan van 
Wijk.


(Brian listed them here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html )

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that

I did not know that Shell was here, though I knew of the case from the

Rather creepy that his web site is still up (mostly). Especially the

Other names from the distance past:

Bob Blakely. Not sure what happened to him. I think he got ill. Very pro 2nd 
Amendment; argued like a terrorist.

Pal Jensen. Probably swallowed by a volcano.

Valentin Donisa. Nice but strange. Drove me around Northern Romania when I was 
there. Emigrated to Canada.

Alin Flaider. Showed me around Bucarest. Lovely guy.

Shel Belinkoff. Got on well with him, unlike some others.

Bob Shell. We all know where he is. Wonder if he gets internet rights.

Didn't Mafud have an argument with himself one time?  Or maybe I just 
remember it that way because it seems so right that he would.

Dear All,

While discussing the 20th anniversary PUG, we discussed with Brian that it would be great 
to invite as many "old-timers" as possible - to participate in this PUG.

I know that some PDMLers maintain connection with some of the former PDMLers 
via social media (or at least know how to contact them).

I suggest that everybody who has any way of contacting them, would do that ASAP 
(via all available channels), - inviting them to submit their photos to this 
20th anniversary PUG.

Please use this link:

And now, after the break (some nerds might know the hidden message in this 
song), some personal thoughts about old-timers.


I am sure people here remember past PDMLers, but I would try to recall at least 
a few... (just in case it would help someone).

Over the period of 20 years, there have been several PUGmeisters:
Brian Walters
Scott Loveless
Adelheid von Kirschten
Jostein Oksne
William Robb
Mark Cassino
Steve Graham
Doug Brewer

AFAIK, Scott, Adelheid, and Steve are not reading PDML.
I believe that Scott is reachable via e-mail and some social media channels 
(Facebook? Twitter), - I haven't heard about Steve and Adelheid for ages. Has 
anybody seen them recently?

There were a few more people who at different time contributed to the 
maintenance of PUG:
Rob Studdert, Jeff Renner, Bong Manayon, Maney Gomez, Fred Wasti, Robert 
Batten, Alin Flaider, Tom Van Veen, Sid Barras, Delano Mireles, Flavio Minelli, 
Gary L. Murphy, Michael Bromm, Yves Caudano, Jan van Wijk.

(Brian listed them here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html )

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that list, only 
Rob, Bong,  and Jan seem to be participating in PDML and PUG.

I believe in the past year or two, I've seen some posts from Fred Wasti on some forum 
(PF?) or in some social media, but I don't remember where, and I couldn't find any 
"live" traces of him now.

I've already sent a personal e-mail to Boz Dimitrov on Saturday, but haven't 
heard back, so, if someone can contact him as well, please do. (A single 
unexpected e-mail can be easily lost in a flow of messages.)


Anybody else?

Stan,

Great! I didn't event attempt to produce a comprehensive list by myself.
I was relying on other PDMLers; just wanted to start the process.


I feel embarassed, but during the entire morning,  my memory lapse refuses 
to reveal the names of several former PDMLers...
The guy who, AFAIR drove his WV van from California all the 
way down to South America and around, -- what's his name?


Other people whose names I am slowling pulling from my neuron network are:

Dear All,

While discussing the 20th anniversary PUG, we discussed with Brian that it 
would be great to invite as many "old-timers" as possible - to participate in 
this PUG.


I know that some PDMLers maintain connection with some of the former PDMLers 
via social media (or at least know how to contact them).


I suggest that everybody who has any way of contacting them, would do that 
ASAP (via all available channels), - inviting them to submit their photos to 
this 20th anniversary PUG.


Please use this link:
http://pug.komkon.org/general/20th-anniversary.html
with the invitation for the anniversary PUG.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teaxWYRH9A4

And now, after the break (some nerds might know the hidden message in this 
song), some personal thoughts about old-timers.



I am sure people here remember past PDMLers, but I would try to recall at 
least a few... (just in case it would help someone).


Over the period of 20 years, there have been several PUGmeisters:
Brian Walters
Scott Loveless
Adelheid von Kirschten
Jostein Oksne
William Robb
Mark Cassino
Steve Graham
Doug Brewer

AFAIK, Scott, Adelheid, and Steve are not reading PDML.
I believe that Scott is reachable via e-mail and some social media channels 
(Facebook? Twitter), - I haven't heard about Steve and Adelheid for ages. Has 
anybody seen them recently?


There were a few more people who at different time contributed to the 
maintenance of PUG:
Rob Studdert, Jeff Renner, Bong Manayon, Maney Gomez, Fred Wasti, Robert 
Batten, Alin Flaider, Tom Van Veen, Sid Barras, Delano Mireles, Flavio 
Minelli, Gary L. Murphy, Michael Bromm, Yves Caudano, Jan van Wijk.


(Brian listed them here: http://pug.komkon.org/general/autosubmit.html )

I might be missing someone (my sincere apologies!), but from that list, only 
Rob, Bong,  and Jan seem to be participating in PDML and PUG.


I believe in the past year or two, I've seen some posts from Fred Wasti on 
some forum (PF?) or in some social media, but I don't remember where, and I 
couldn't find any "live" traces of him now.


I've already sent a personal e-mail to Boz Dimitrov on Saturday, but haven't 
heard back, so, if someone can contact him as well, please do. (A single 
unexpected e-mail can be easily lost in a flow of messages.)



Anybody else?


Cheers,

Igor

Re: April PUG theme 20th anniversary

2017-03-05 Thread Daniel J. Matyola
I spent some time looking at the early PUGs, mostly to see what I uploaded
back then that might be appropriate for the 20th Anniversary PUG.

The main impressions I received, however, were:

1.  How many entries there were 15 years or so ago.
2.  The variety and quality of the entries.
3.  How many names I recognized of posters 10-15 years ago who are
photographers that I really respected and persons whom I now really miss.

Is there any way we can reach out to these former PDMLers, and invite them
to rejoin us at least for the April 20th Anniversary PUG?  I know that the
posts usually contained the emails being used at the time.  Many may have
new emails now, but some of the old emails might still be active, and
others may be locatable through FaceBook or otherwise.

Does anyone else feel it might be worth the effort to reach out and try to
contact former members who used to be acttive posters to the PUG and this
list?

One of the positive aspects of the PUG for me over the years is that neither 
the PUGmeisters nor others in PDML have worried too much about strict 
interpretation of the monthly themes. Sometimes I have wished for a bit more 
specificity, but it is good to be able to go off in my own direction without 
too much worry about THE theme.

This might be a case where I wouldn’t mind more specificity, but the theme did 
get me thinking. I have 3-4 ideas, two of which I may yet pursue.

When this theme was suggested last year, my first reaction was to think about 
finding either my first or my favorite post to the PUG. Or maybe a photo from 
one of those themes which made me push my limits a bit  (like the equinox theme 
where THE hour was well after dark and I didn’t do after dark shots…)

But then I thought about 20 years of PDML, most of which I have been here for. 
I have learned a lot, I have been inspired and often humbled by the quality of 
others’ work and the depth of their artistry. But then that is not all of it, 
not even the most important for me. Beginning in the early 2000’s and a 
photoday in Toronto facilitated by Frank and followed by equally memorable 
gatherings with individuals and groups in Sydney and London and Naples and 
Grandfather Mountain and Venice and Brighton and Chicago and Oslo and Jerusalem 
and Aland and Milwaukee and… I have come to know many fine people. So one 
thought I had was to do a photo collage of the pictures I have of those 
gatherings. Idea rejected for several reasons including that I doubt if I can 
find decent shots of everyone, and I don’t know how to make such a collage. And 
besides, there have been as many virtual meetings as there have been actual 
physical ones, so the face-to-face and corresponding photo to document it 
doesn’t really capture the essence of PDML’s 20 years for me.

Another idea is to do a representative shot of some one or two PDMLers. I have 
a couple in mind. 

As you can see part of my dilemma is that I want my image to fit with the PUG 
anniversary theme, but I would also like it to somehow capture the broader 
essence of PDML.  Or maybe I will just submit one of my favorite photos taken 
sometime in the last 20 years.  Que sera sera.

Thanks for starting this thread, Luiz.

When the idea of a 20th Anniversary PUG was first raised, several
suggestions on possible themes were raised.  Looking back at those

!. All time favorite photograph rather than one's best.

2. The first photo that the photographer remembers being proud of.

3. The image that the photographer feels is the very, very best of their

4. A favorite from prior PUG submissions.

5. An open gallery (if options 1 to 4 don't suit).

Obviously, we wouldn't want to be too prescriptive in the theme - the
aim of this gallery is to maximize participation so, I'd suggest
allowing submitters to choose which of those 'themes' he/she would like
to adopt - and then optionally writing a few words about their choice in
the comments section of the submission form.

But, of course, I just compile the submissions (it's not my gallery) so
