For those of you who didn't go to Rosemont, neither did I, although I was a part of the traveling circus that terrorized Door County, Wisconsin earlier this week. Suffice it to say that it seems that a great time was had by all and there was talk of a reprise next year before people had even finished with this road trip.
Those who went got a screensaver handout on CD from me... "Postcards from Lake Michigan," which is a collection of some of my favorite lighthouse slides of my own from around the lake. For those of you who couldn't go, not to despair. John our fearless webmaster has a downloadable form of the thing that should be posted on here for anyone wanting a copy to download. It's a little over 4 Mbyte downloadable .exe file (yes I virus scanned it before I burned CD's) that will put an icon on your desktop when it's installed. Watch for details probably after John returns from Rosemont and family vacation.
Oh... did I call John fearless??? Rumor has it that he's afraid of seeing the sun rise, at least based on his "participation" in two sunrise photo shoots that I led to the Sturgeon Bay North Pierhead lighthouse before dawn this past Thursday and Friday morning. Thursday morning was a total bust (oh well, you pay your money, get up out of nice comfortable bed, and take your chances) and on Friday morning we had pretty good light and color. I burned up a couple of rolls of film (posts coming Monday, I think) as did Jakers and Chesapeake Bryan.
While I don't normally shoot anything with a digital, I did take one along and shot a number of gathering photos as well as a few "record" snaps for my own purposes and to speed posting here without having to wait until my slides are back on Monday at lunchtime. There will be so me threads following here in a short time if anyone is tuned in this evening.
