Kim CourtrightEvent HostMs Blue, Co-OrganizerWas a fun day! Got to talk to a few people, Portland group had quite a number show up! Got to visit quite a bit with Gerry and later saw Gregg and with Tom later on. Was just perfect weather and I think I have a few shots I can put up when I get time to do that. We should have had a time to have everyone meet up at the food court and communicate again! I didn't think of it until later!

Gerry GogginsI thought that the event was good, its a little difficult to keep track of people in a place that large- I did see a few people from the group through out the day - but mostly they just disappeared into the crowds . . .

Tom SilverIt was a great day for shooting at the Zoo. I hooked up with another photographer (not from our groups) and had a great time. I posted some of the shots. Our group was friendly and fun. I just like working with a few people.
