I remember when the US dollar was worth like $1.50 canadian :(

FRACK YOU INFLATION!

I remember when you could pretty much bar hop all night in Windsor on $20 American.

You might even have enough left over to go take in the Windsor "Ballet" (or "Shoe Show" as we sometimes called it...)

i thought you were happy keeping us in this small group instead of infecting the rest of the forum ;)

Images 2-11 (external link) are from this past Saturday.

A pretty good day but there was also another aviation event (airport open house .. not much flying) going on that siphoned off the Warbirds and some of the more unique classic aircraft around the valley.

Love the photos. So usually after a photo op, do you go up in the air too?

monk3y wrote in post #12158536 (external link)
you saying Detlev was a Nerd? ;);):lol:

No, really??

I thought he was just socially challenged...

KenjiS wrote in post #12158543 (external link)
Trust me when i say she would HATE a Leica..

Or a 5D Mark II

She wants a Rebel-class one, I already discussed EVIL systems (She tried the E-P1 and NEX-3 and disliked both)

I'm steering her towards a T3 right now..

Me thinks a polaroid would suffice

you want me to show you my speedtest again? are you provoking me? hahahahaha

whom, me? No

We can kind-of claim Martin as a semi-non geek too. He seems to be getting infected by them though :(

Maybe an intervention is needed...

i was just being nice to them to get a computer ;)

Thanks...

I usually try to use these gatherings as a way to introduce myself and to see if I can coerce pilots into later aircraft portrait sessions or even considering an air to air shoot at some point.

Obviously, I try and key on some of the more exotic hardware... ;)

It's been a long, cold winter. But soon enough there will be tractor pulls to go to. And Nitro Jam at the drag strip. And even enduro races at Delaware.

i was in toronto friday at my friends shop supervising the install of a new small block chevy for the up coming 1/4 mile season :D
