Bob, that was me. I knew we'd crossed paths. Just sorry that it was at a sad event.

I can certainly figger out a way to get to Toronto. I used to spend a lot of time there. Always loved Three Small Rooms restaurant, and there was a coffee shop, name unremembered, where the coffee was phenomenal. Oh, yeah, The Coffee Mill. But that was mid-1980s.

I'll be in touch, but we'll do this at some point. Just no predicting when, for right now.

Cheers!

Good luck on your adventures, you really should consider a blog as you move about the country , I envy the time on the road.
We are always open to meet fellow photo crazy's up here in Toronto.

Bloggish entries show up at www.quantumburp.wordpress.org. That's the site for my church. I made myself a minister online, and needed something more absurd than me just being a minister. The Church of the Quantum Burp.

Places still open in Peters Valley! Good food, great coffee. Some really nice places to photograph in the area.

And not a bad workshop July 26-30. Sharpen your compositional chops.

Bruce, I really wish I could take the workshop at Peters Valley. It's exactly what I'd like to work on. Unfortunately, I'll be either en route to Iowa or already out there by then and I'm sure I won't be able to break free and make my husband take care of all of it plus the 3 dogs and 1 three-year-old child.
Is it possible or likely that you'll do the workshop next year as well? Maybe I'd be able to take a vacation by myself by then.

My standard advice to anyone attending a Peters Valley workshop in the summer - if you stay in one of the houses/dorms on site be sure to specify a first floor room. The rooms have no AC and I thought I'd fry to death in a second floor room when I attended a Tillman Crane workshop there. Otherwise a very nice place, good food, nice staff, pretty area, excellent faculty. I'd happily attend again even if I couldn't get a first floor room, it's just more comfortable if you can.
