Portland and Seattle are practically neighbors, so I'm sure we'll meet sooner or later, and I look forward to it. Talking about photographs to photographers is a lot different than talking about photos to non-photographers. I'm sure your audience will make you very comfortable, but I understand your nervousness. Just remind yourself you were invited, and that can only mean there's appreciation, and it's well earned, in my opinion.Originally Posted by austin granger
Your best moral support is your work. It is phenomenal.Plus, it would be good to have the moral support; aside from my children, I don't talk to people much anymore, and so I'm a little nervous about it.
Thanks,

+1. I just received Austin's book. It's superb.
Austin's work is exceptional, and it speaks for itself. We'll have the additional privilege of hearing the stories behind the pictures.
As Jan Pedersen said, relax, we are a friendly bunch. Most of us are too old to catch you very easily.
As friend of mine's lawyer said as they entered a federal courtroom for his bankruptcy hearing, "Relax, they can't eat you."

Thank you everyone-I feel fortified.
I am looking forward to this evening with you Austin, and the good news is that there is beer after.

Beer before might make it more interesting...
Hope I can make it, but I'm beginning to think I suffer from anthropophobia these days. Going out in public and seeing other people? Yikes! (This is a reflection on me and not anyone else.) Austin's work is fantastic and deserves to be supported. We'll see...

Have fun Austin, wish I could be there.
Transcripts... Would make a great reading...
jcoldslabs, you should try to make it. PPF meetings are the cure for the common phobias, dropsy, ague, catarrh, lumbago and gout.
