Benefiting Cancer and Benefiting Cancer Patients is two different things.

This is a great event. At the last one, I picked up a delightful Tim Jones print of the Alabama Hills.

I'm always excited this time of the year for this event to roll around. Now if I could only get out to one of the openings to meet all of the fine people who make such a huge undertaking possible! Alas the scheduling gods remain miserly with their goodwill and I will miss this years as well. I trust the opening and auction go off fabulously. Thanks for the inclusion in such a fine list of photographers.
best,
Monty

This is a wonderful event, and anyone within driving distance who can make it would not be disappointed. The crowd is wonderful, the artists informative and the photographs are exquisite!
I'm looking forward to the event

I am looking forward to the Sherman Weekend experience again, missed last year, but really exited to be going to the Armory show with some of my friends. Two years ago I got a Sandy King print at the benifit, this year I am going after the Monty McCutchen print , it looks amazing on the website and know it will fit well on my walls.
It's a great time, with beautiful photographs and good company.
I donated an 8x10, I hope to see some pics of our prints at the event.

If Sherman will let me through the door with a digital camera (I'd say the odds are about 50-50) I'll take plenty of pics with it. I'll try to get a shot of everyone's print as they're hung at the event.

I'll just show up with my Canon in one hand and a bottle of Dumante in the other. That should improve the odds considerably.

Haven't seen any around here for the past 2 releases. Paletti's holding some for me, but unfortunately he can't take it on an airplane. That's why I didn't bring any last year. I only brought T.H. Handy (which is pretty potent, too, but about 20 proof lower octane than G.T. Stagg).

Thank you Bob. It means a great deal a printer of your stature would say such a thing. It's greatly appreciated.

Monty its a great image, If I don't get it at Shermans, I am going to consider it my road picture from you ... My print for you and Dinesh is ready and now I know how to make you comply.

I have been involved with the ROG from the start. I need a push to get back in the darkroom & always feel re-energized to be a part of the Benefit. Thank you NELFPC!

For the collectors out there: this is a good way to get a great print at a real steal...and for a good cause.

Tell me about it... I have a bunch I am salivating over. I hope my number gets called early! There's a lot of really great images in the set.
I got one of monte's a few years ago (awesome!).

It went very well, I thought. It was great to meet some familiar LF photographers in person.
