meeting Leonore in Slovenia :) Who did you meet so far?

[kundalini]

I've met up with spiffybeth and Max Bloom (A.K.A. Alpha) several years ago. I had an internet thing going on with Miss Mia and came damn near meeting up with her, but I chickened out because I was getting involved with someone local at the time and lo and behold, I just moved in with the latter this weekend (the local). Most of you don't know who the hell I'm talking about. Good folk nonetheless. I've got pictures for proof, but alas, all my computer connections haven't been assembled yet.

 

[pgriz]

Over the years, I've met many people in person that I have first met on web-sites, and for the most part, almost everyone I met was/were very like their on-line persona. I have yet to meet anyone who I "know" from TPF, but it will happen, sooner or later. In September, I'll be travelling to Chicago for a quick, 2-day visit. Probably towards mid-September, my wife and I "may" end up on the Maine seashore. In October I'll be in the Toronto area for Thanksgiving, and in November there's a chance that I'll meet with the American members of the family in New York for THAT Thanksgiving. So... there's always an opportunity.

By chance I bumped into a photographer once who turned me onto TPF but, alas I never met her again and didn't get her member name. I also live within 45 minutes of MLeek (someone who used to be a big contributor around here and is missed).

There are few who I wouldn't enjoy meeting here.

 

[JacaRanda]

Wow, I hope MLeek is well.

 

[ratssass]

...hopefully,i'll catch up with shefjr.........i go out to elegant builders speedway a few times a year for special events (next one,Sunday Niagra aug 24).As much as i would like to meet all of ya's,I think shefjr is the most realistic....

Anybody want to come to Japan?

My wife and I are planning a trip to visit my brother in Tokyo ... though not sure on the "when".

 

[terri35 6]

I met up with several TPFer's in DC many moons ago...a great trip!! Of them all LaFoto is the only active poster still around, I think. And I've met Ann several times, she's amazing.

We have such a diverse group these days, too many to count that would be fun to meet up with. :heart: !! Lots!!

derrel, trever1t, majeed

 

[Robin Usagani]

Awesome!! PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!! Please Maria, consider this my formal request to see posted photos of you two lovely ladies! [Full Disclosure: the guys put me up to asking for posted photos of you and Leonore, by means of each of them making significant donations to my PayPal account! Thank you, gentlemen! And remember, the donations were non-refundable, no exceptions!]

TPF'ers I have met? Majeed B, and dinardy, both of those guys in the flesh. Great individuals, both with a zest for photography. I've met a few people via telephone conversations, including The_Traveler, sscarmack, 2-wheel (where has he gone?), paigew thru Facebook chats, and Ron Lane via Facebook and Facebook live video chat. I wish I knew more of the wonderful people that make up the TPF universe.

So, again, cough, cough...can we pleaaaaase see some photos of this impending TPF trans-continent meeting of the minds? Post some pictures, and I'll do video commentary on each shot, and post the results to my derrelator channel on YouTube! [ There, guys, I have officially completed the agreed upon protocols to justify the PayPal funds which each of you each transferred to my account. Thank you, guys!]

I am that forgettable eh?

Leonore is in Slovenia right now. I'm there on Wednesday and we'll meet.

And now we know the exactly where wonderland is! on my way ladies

As for who I'd like to meet, I think just about anyone from this forum.. There are a few special people who'd come first though, namely Maria, Leonore, Pixmedic, Lew, Sharon, Todd, Dave & barb mostly because I've interacted with them a lot and of course as Jackaranda said everyone from the nature section, they're all very cool folks

 

[TreeofLifeStairs]

I haven't met up with anyone. Trevert I know lives near me and I'm sure there are a few others in the area. I'd like to meet robins.photo, majeed seems cool. Danostergen seems interesting too. Just jazzie and e.rose would make the short list too.

 

[Derrel]

I am that forgettable eh?

I KNEW there was somebody I had forgotten! I'm sorry. I've been under a lot of pressure lately.My mind is not where it ought to be, seriously. WE DID have dinner together, you, me, Majeed, and my son...and we all went to The Dollar Store and you bought a few toys for the girls, and we also bought some toy cutlasses, and had a sword fight in the parking lot at the mall after having eaten a Mongolian style grill dinner and coffee from Starbucks...man...that seems like a looooong time ago, but it's only been two years. My kid keeps asking me, "Will Schwetty ever come back? I hope he comes back!"

I took a few iPhone snaps while we had coffee...all I recall was the lens man, the lens!

iPhone snap, before dusk, brightened in post.

Hey folks!

It's true - I'll meet my second TPFer tomorrow. :mrgreen:
Lew was the first, when we met in NYC and had a lovely lunch and a little street shooting. Good times

I obviously have internet connection here but for some reason, TPF has been excruciatingly slow. Pages won't load at all or only load half way and have to be refreshed several times before they will finally load the rest of the way. I finally managed to read through this thread and get the reply page up.

I get shy about meeting people in person, but there's definitely a bunch of you that I would like to meet. I think there needs to be a TPF convention! :mrgreen:

Hopefully the connection will get a little better and I can check in a bit more often, but if not, I'll be back next week and will hopefully have a bunch of keepers to be sharing with y'all after I get them developed (the only digital camera I have with me is my phone!)

And hey, ratssass - where've you been, man? I needed a sammich and you were nowhere to be found! :greenpbl: Good to see you around again.

 

[EIngerson]

I was going to meet Mishele and a few others a while back, but I think she went all "moderator" and was too good for it.




Pfffft.
