four brave souls battled extreme heat humidity in between numerous torrential down pours
Silly ME wore black suede pumps and had to find ways to maneuver in between the puddles... Yes I know very girly !

Caught this before Security went after their Parents to make them stop jumping on the tables.

Great idea Helen, nice to see RFF members for real, and shows how virtual connections can become tangible.
I hope others chip in. I've read so much of meets in Europe (which used to be an annual thing for a while), England (now that it's no longer part of Europe, apparently), Seattle, Tokyo, Sydney (in which I participate but have no pics).

Thanks Helen for this thread, refreshing to go back in time, nice to see others RFF friends.

Hello Robert
Great to hear from You

I can access your Flickr stream
but the link You posted 'Rff Euromeeting 2010' says it is Private ??
perhaps I am doing something wrong
 
Great post Helen! I feel so nostalgic now seeing these.

Here is a look back to 2011 here in Seattle at the Big Time Brewery on "The Ave."

Barnacks were still in style

Helen, that was some crazy rain! I'm happy someone was photographing while we were just distracted by cameras. Yes these meetups can be gear crazy, like this time I was inspired by Cal's 'Gear Fest' to assemble something that later sat unsold as the most expensive Leica on eBay!

Franken Leica

I'll dig around and post some old meetup Polaroid/Fuji instant pictures from Puck.

haha on Me !!
I don't even own sneakers...
Yes I know, everyone does ,it's the rage. All too pedestrian for Me.

I run in the park in my Top siders, reminds me of growing up, being a private school brat.

really Love your Enthusiasm and sense of Invention !

John,

Remember the balcony that got condemned by the NYFD as being unsafe. That’s where we had the beauty contests all those years.

They don’t make dive bars like they use to.

Then there was the alley with the signs “Don’t Piss or Shit here: people live here.” You can’t make this stuff up.

Somehow I lost my old Avitar of the shot that had me decorated like a Christmas tree with cameras. I believe it was Phil’s idea.

Lots of good times and arguing. LOL.

Cal
