There have been reports of LF photographer gatherings in the midwest which sounded like fun. Is anybody interested in doing such a thing out here in the greater Washington DC area? It'd be nice to share the stares when I take the camera out.  Rob Dean | ||

(Or maybe I just look so preoccupied that they don't want to bother me...) I still think it would be fun to go out in a group. Rob Dean | ||
| Graflite Joined: 08 Nov 2001 Posts: 103 | Posted: Sun Nov 24, 2002 4:13 am I think the idea of a "gathering" is a fine idea, but one wonders (or at least I do) what a gathering of Graflex users would be called? I know that a gathering of geese is a gaggle, a gathering of crows is a murder and a gathering of lions is a pride, but just what would a gathering of Graflex users be called? Still, it would be rather a lot of fun to see a dozen or so persons strolling down the street carrying all manners of Graflex cameras, one wonders if a passerby would think to call the police<g>. Any thoughts or ideas for names of a gathering of Graflex users? graflite | ||
