Confessions of a Lurker

[Michael_Barton]

Hello everyone! I post here a bit here and there. I'll work on that! It was truly great to meet a bunch of you down in Tampa. It was also fantastic to see so many people here getting awards. That's just proof that we can't do it alone and these forums work. Well done! What a great bowling alley. I think I was there 3 nights in row. Usually found smoking a cigar away from the "freak dancing". It's safer there. . . Ha. I had a chance to hang out an extra day and hit the beach. Here are a couple of images from my last day before returning to the cold land of Chicago-ish. LONG DRIVE. I'll working on posting more from the rest of the week as well. I guess I'm working my way backward. The REALLY incriminating stuff comes last! Ha. Thanks for the memories. I look forward to meeting more of you. Heck, I even posted an avatar. . . Scary. Ask others. . .

Outstanding! Let's try this again!

Michael-
Didn't get to meet you at Imaging, so nice to have you post more here. Looking forward to the "evidence" you will post soon .

[Michael_Barton]

Hey Diane! I was a bit tied up with commitments. I guess that's a good thing. There will be plenty more! How did the bathroom cleaning go?

[Linda_Gregory]

Hiya former lurker! Nice images. Beach huh? I ended up walking all over before leaving for my flight at 4. (flight at 6, left for it at 4)

Beach woulda been nice!

Yeah- I just got to live vicariously through my kid and friends-

Thanks for asking about the bathroom. I'm slowly working my way towards it.

Michael,
I am so glad you had a good time at the beach. Everytime I bring my 600 f4 to the beach, they call the police. How did you manage to make images without an embarassing run-ins with the police?

What makes you think I didn't have a run-in? Ha. There's a funny story about that in St. Martin on a nude beach. Ha. That's for another time. I was just walking and didn't even realize I was, well, at the "other" beach. They really should add fences. . .

Hey Michael,

The incriminating stuff thends to be funnier when we post them a few months before the next convention. Anyways, cool meeting you at the con.
