Wow, sounds like a lot more food than we had!  Gotta love the southern 
tradition of using the smallest excuse for having a feast huh?  This is 
especially true for barb-e-ques down in south Texas.  We always make 
enough to feed the whole town, despite the fact that we have leftovers 
for the rest of the month.

I'm sure you had one of your snakeskins with you, don't you always? ;)

The shot reminded me of an assignment I was on a while ago.  Once everything
was integrated on the ship we had a party before departing the shipyard the
next day for Florida.  The shipyard was close to New Orleans.
Anyhow, as we approached it the sight was amazing.  I cannot recall how many
long tables they had, but it was at least four.  Each table had a pile about
a foot high away from the edges of crawfish.  And there was plenty of beer
to wash it down with.
I don't think I had a camera that night.  I may have to look back and see if
I did...

surprised I was able to focus.

Robert,

Most definitely must enjoy the southern hospitality.  Maybe that is why I
have hung around here so long...

And did not have my reskinned cameras.  This was before my LXen were
'snaked'.  Yes, that may be hard to believe...  Probably did not have a
camera with me since it was just a party as we were finally heading out to
test.

Yup, that was a potato that the hand was sneaking out.  The potatoes and 
cauliflower were boiled first with the spices, then the shrimp was 
boiled.  It was hot and spicy, and the perpetrator could not help but 
steal a morsel!

Robert,

I ~love~ shooting at parties.  It's hard not to go to one without 
shooting a couple of rolls.

I find the camera is a real conversation starter for me.  And, once 
everyone's ~ahem!~ inhibitions are lowered, the social barriers come 
down, and people turn into real hams.  I've got hundreds and hundreds of 
party shots, but unfortunately only a few shots have made it beyond the 
contact stage.

I've long been thinking that it would make an interesting show...

BTW, I missed the hand on the right, sneaking a potatoe (is that what it 
is?) from the dish.  My mother would have cracked my hand with a wooden 
spoon if she saw me doing that - and I'm not talking when I was a kid!

cheers,
frank
