Bay Area Local Photographer's Get-Together, Sept. 10th

[Dave_Anderson]

So there's no schedule, like every 2nd Thursday? Anarchy!

PS: I want to apologize for having to leave early, but I got an emergency call from my wife. Our 7 year old yellow Lab was diagnosed with kidney disease a few weeks ago and she passed away yesterday late afternoon

I'm so sorry to hear that Jack. Our dogs (cats too) are part of our family and it is sad when they leave us so soon.

Our sympathies, as well, Jack. It's always tough to lose family at any time, but greatly premature might be even tougher.

Cope well!

 

[Jack]

Thanks for the kind thoughts. Yes it is hard when you lose a great pet, and tougher when they go too early...

 

[John Grow]

Sheesh...I never seem to get this in time. What is today...the 11th!!??!!

Missed it by >< that much!

I'm very sorry to hear about your dog, Jack. I went through that a few months ago with my only pet, a wonderful cat I had raised from a kitten 16 years before, and it was very difficult. I now have two wonderful new cats in my life, though, and that's been a great joy to me lately.

My condolences...

Lisa

Jack - I just read through the entire post. I'm so sorry to hear of your loss.

We also had our 11 year old "studio greeter" pass away two weeks ago. She was rescue from the shelter, and a mixed breed, but she was a wonderful friend and I miss her terribly.

My sincerest condolences.
John

I have been on the phone with Jack everyday all week talking about his dog and it is just so sad to see a lab of only 7 years pass on. My sorry is very deep for you bud. I lost a lab several years ago and she is sorely missed around here.

 

[Dave_Anderson]

Missed the post about the dog, Jack. Very sorry to hear that. It's very wrenching to lose a friend like that, in what should be the prime of their life.

It was a super turnout and was great to meet a few new folks! Maybe next time we should organize a local shoot -- maybe over on the coast or at Stanford?

That would be grand, Jack. I enjoyed meeting you and the rest of the group, a couple of whom I knew from other venues/occasions. Truly a fun time.

I'll post another note with a few snapshots of the gathering. Nothing that I'd call great art, just fun ... ;-)

My condolences on your loss. Dogs are some of the finest people.

... photos ...

As I said, not great Art but fun. ;-)

Punched up the ISO to 800 or so, rendered to B&W. Most taken with the Cosmicar 12.5mm lens, a couple with the Olympus ZD 25mm, but I cropped them all square with similar rendering for a nice feel:
