Fall, friends, and fun.

The whole gang!

Wow! As they say, time flies! Has it been a year already? Last year, at this time, I was attending the Jekyll Island workshop with Craig Tanner. It was my first ever workshop and I met a lot of really cool people. We shared some good times, but like most group meetings, you think that when it’s over, it’s over and people go their way and live their lives. Craig mentioned during the workshop that he had never had a group like us. Matt, his assistant, confirmed it. There was something special about this group. We all got along really well and had a great time.

Welcome to North Carolina!

When it was time to go, we exchanged e-mails, phone numbers, and promises. Now, one year later, nearly all of us are getting back together to do our own thing. We invited Craig and Matt, but they’ll be busy with another Radiant Vista workshop that particular weekend, October 11th-14th. I can say that I’m very excited to see my friends. One of them, Usha, I’ve seen at another workshop and we had blast.

I know you remember: Theater of the absurd!

Last year, we photographed driftwood on Jekyll Island, this year, leaves in Asheville! Who knows what’s next!

So, here’s who’s coming and from where, as I remember.

Kate – Texas
Usha – Wisconsin
Dale – Florida
Julie – Florida
Craig – Sorry Craig, I forgot. (Indiana?)
Ann – North Carolina
George – New York
Brett – Texas
Paul – North Carolina

There were 12 of us, but a few couldn’t make it. We were at 10 strong, but one had to bail for personal reasons. So 9/12 is great. I hope that we can do this in a different place every year. It is my pleasure and honor that our first reunion is in North Carolina! Kate, Usha, and Brett, I’ll see you at the airport! The rest, I’ll see you when we get to the hotel!

I know that some of you folks read my blog. You told me!!! Chime in!
