Hi you'll

Before I moved to Florida and saw my first egret I had the opportunity to shoot around NYC with Andy W. I just felt going into the old vault and pulling out some of those moments.

at some point in every day Andy took a moment out to pray to his camera

It seems that Andy always wanted to go to Times Square for some reason

When he bought the 828 he showed that the "purple issue" wasn't that serious

If Andy wasn't shooting or eating he usually was on his cell phone

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Very nice Harry.
    I'm on board with everyone as to favorites
    However might I add that you should use caution with shoots like this. After all this is a family oriented site, and we don't need to show more skin then needed. :lol4 :lol4 rolleyes1.gif
    In fact looks to me like the guy in white is thinking, perhaps the same :D

    Hey Harry...
    These are great memories, I remember, STF was great place to see and read about the adventures from Andy and yourself. They really inspired me, and I enjoyed seeing your daily posts.

    It was my goal to have a day or two out with you guys. And it happened one year ago this weekend (if I am correct?). What a great time I had!clap.gif
    I learned so much and had such a great time.

    I was just about to post some photos from that trip, when I saw this post.

    I will go find some now and post soon.

    Thanks again to you and Andy!

    Hey Sid,

    That has been one of my favorites. That old 717 was an amazing piece of work.

    Harry - I'm usually surprised to see any post by you that doesn't include feathers but in this case, considering the subject matter, I'm STUNNED there isn't a rib or a latte to be seen! :D

    Very nice set and history. Thanks for sharing.

    Yes, there are times when you just have to be content with the subject matter on hand. Good to see you again. All this food is making me hungry....lol

    You're right Ben, I went over the line here. The other guy on the bench pulled the hood over his face and averted his eyes when he saw Andy approaching. rolleyes1.gif

    Harry, thanks, man!
    Great series!
    I betcha egrets spend far less time on the cell phone. Unfortunately, they are also on a seafood diet, so if you wanna get directions to a place that serves a nice piece of meat you still gonna dial NYC:-)
    Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for the SUPER welcome Harry. I actually found the place by accident, when someone (who shall remain unnamed) mentioned it in one of the mudslinging threads.

    As I said to Yuri, I'm hoping to get a smugmug account up and running before the weekend to show some pics taken with my new toy.
