Robin is spending Easter weekend here in Phoenix, and we are meeting up with local shooters at The Biltmore's patio bar area Friday night around 7ish (that's pm). Anyone wanting to hang with us is welcome.

Feel free to message me or email for details. My cell is 602-405-9145.

It's gonna' be a good time!!

Wish I could meet up with you guys. I have a shoot and then a softball game.. .I keep missing out on all the fun! Please tell her hi for me!

Is there a special reason why Robin is visiting Phoenix for Easter?? Inquiring minds want to know.

Hmmm. I think I'll let her answer that, Beth. I think she's just wanting to vacation away from PA. Not sure why Arizona in particular.

Damn, Kim, you DO always miss out. Can't you join us a little later? I'm sure we'll be partying for a while that evening, so long as Robin can handle her liquor!!

Our games will go until about 11:00:(.. If they get cancelled i'll try to convince my husband to go!!

Just teasing ya

FYI, the Biltmore is going to be swamped with people that fly in for Passover.

everyone come hang out!

That is good to know. Thanks for the FYI. Angie & Matt, are you going to join us? It would be great to meet you both! Seems it's going to be a crowded patio!

If only I lived closer! Give each other 's from me!

shannon -
you're close enough - make it a vacation!

Dude, I was just gone at the OneLight Workshop Tues/Wed then left Friday for Vegas and didn't get back until the next Saturday night. I think my hubby needs a vacation

Yea! I'm in... but you know I'm in

Can't wait to see ya!

Anyone else joining us?? (*sniff, sniff* no Shannon- no Kim!!!)

Hey, Laura, what's up with the new pic? That's pretty creepy!!

I know JT is joining us, probably Marcus and my photog friend Nate, maybe Miss Aimee, and you, Laura. Not sure what's up with all these other Phoenix area shooters on OSP, guess they just ain't the friendly types!

I wish I could come! The commute from SB to Phoneix is pretty killer though!

Chris, what's up with that? If you left around 11am Friday morning you should be at the bar by 7pm! By midnight you wont even know WHERE you are!!!

sounds like fun-
I'd love to go hang out on a patio and have drinks with you all in
Arizona.....but don't count on me-
I have so much weekend work these days that my husband is definitely on
overtime-

have a blast-

Lisa

I may be able to make! I may be late, let me look into it!

Would love to come, but am a bit shy around folks that are so great and I don't know plus.....




I am in the same boat...good thing he doesn't mind
Third, reason (it sounds more like an excuse) I am trying to finish my new site do I can launch it before I am 80. If only I could get my scratch disks to cooperate.

Hey, Doug, hope you can hook up with us. It will be great to meet you!

Tawnya, you are defintely making excuses!! Come and join us. We defintely are not so great, and you WILL enjoy haging out with all of us. It's a perfect opportunity to get to know some of the other AZ shooters. You will not regret it.

ok - all you people with sooooooo much to do....

i don't want to hear it!
i have 3 albums to do, a ton of web work and more stuff than i can list, and i'm leaving it all for the weekend off! i'm bringing my camera, but no computer this time.

a few hours will NOT make or break you. you need a little fun to balance it all out.

i've never been to the biltmore, but it sounds like it's right up my alley. please stop by - i'm sure we'll be there for a while! the last time we all got together, you could recognize us by the ridiculous amount of camera gear and the glowing apple logos.

Tawnya, you should join us- bring a laptop if you feel the need to work on your site... you might even get some helpful pointers (or even better- get nothing done at all!!!)
You too Doug, it's always good to meet other photographers!

I think I have to change my avatar... I'm sitting here posting nice, helpful smiley face type things and looking oh so sinister... muhahaha!

oh yea!
if you have work to do - bring your laptop with you!
we learned a lot last visit!

Laura, I sure hope that new Avi isn't from your Bible theme session!! But I could see how it could be.

NO!!! We are NOT bringing laptops and photo backpacks to The Biltmore! TAKE A BREAK, you geeks!

i'm sure we'll end up talking about albums...

and everyone at the biltmore will want one - i see this as a great biz opportunity.

i am so excited to get outta here today!

i got to work about an hour and a half early. there was snow on my car when i took my dog for hiw walk this morning, and it was 26°F.

the sun is almost up!

hey guys - i just posted a picture of our weather on my blog.
it's a BLIZZARD!


i can't wait to get to the sun!

BLIZZARD.... BLIZZARD????

I don't think I'm prepared!!

Can't wait to see ya tho!

I'll be there. Can't wait to see you Robin, we missed you at WPPI.

Tawnya, please come, you will love this crowd.

Ok- so I am thinking I will try to come for at least a little while. Has a time been set for sure and where exactly are we meeting.....

Hey everyone, Robin has arrived and is ready to CRASH! It is, afterall, 12:30am Pittsburgh time.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow night at The Biltmore!

Robin is sooo awesome.... and I can tell you how awesome Bruce is firsthand!!! so, what are you people waiting for? If I was out there, I would totally be hangin'!

So I am still trying to make it. My wife and I are supposed to be babysitting some friends kids and I guess one of the kids may be getting sick so if the kid gets sick we will not be watching them since they will get my kids sick. So in a weird kind of way I hope our friends kid gets a little cold. Don't think bad about me!

Doug

I just talked with Bruce and we're going to meet at the outside bar at the Biltmore around 7pm. It'll be great to meet some of you that are coming out from hiding!

The kid is healthy so I guess I will not be able to attend! Would it be bad if I had my wife watch 4 kids all under the age of 3? Have fun and maybe next time.

Doug

Ditto~ I can't wait to meet ALL of you. I don't think I have met anyone that will be there! I maybe be late, my son had an appointment for a haircut at 6, but then will zip over there. (Without him of course )

We had such an awesome time here in Arizona! Thanks to all of you who met with us at The Biltmore Friday night. That was so fun. Sorry we missed the gelato, but I really was way too exhausted to continue on.

Saturday was a blast!! We took our cameras and headed over to the Desert Botanical Gardens and just shot everything and anything ... cacti, flowers, rocks, butterflies, a hummingbird in flight (Robin got some great pics of the hummingbird). We even tried some One Light techniques on a mangled desert plant! And of course, we shot each other.

So at the risk of taking heat from this lovely gal, here are two of Robin I especially like. I'll be posting more on my blog at some point, but these will do. If Robin picks on me, I can tell her Shannon talked me into posting!!





Isn't she adorable?

Great shots of Robin! I love #2!! Her eyes just grab ya.

That second one ROCKS!!! Nice work bringing out Robin's beautiful eyes Bruce!!!!
Candy

I'll take the heat because those are adorable! Love the hat tip and agree that her eyes POP

Ahh, yes, those beautiful eyes!! They do grab me, especially when they are lookin' at me!

I must sound like a dork!

Wish I could post some of the others I have. Hmmm!

What a super cool group of people. Loved seeing Robin again! The company was warm and the food was scrumptious.

Who's got the group photo?

Sounds like Bruce and Bellissima had some more fun, but I may just be reading between the lines (er, pixels)

I learned so much from Kevin, but it's going to cost me a lot of cash.
