Hey Jim, At first I was going to say 8:00 is too late to come out, but on second thought, the sun was beautiful up until about 8:45 or so. We shot well past dark Thursday night, so if you still wish to sign up for the barn shoot you are more than welcome to do so....

Relieved to read that, Jim! This was beginning to remind me of my encounter, a couple of years ago, with Wachovia Bank security guards on the sidewalks of Tryon, outside their assorted buildings and public venues with fountains and sculptures in the city. They confronted me like some sort of 9/11-type threat and they said so! So, I erased a few of my more recent digital pics of their statues, in front of them and they seemed pleased. Later, I obtained major apologies. Hehe...

Jim, I got your message, "Greeting", about how you inquired and were told all sorts of restrictions about photography there. Did those have to do with "professional" photography? I believe I've been there twice, with SLR around my neck and video, too, and I was, hardly, alone! Please advise!
Thanks,
Rob

Jim, since you are the expert on this event....can you share any insight as to the best places for us to be ...or time...or special insider knowledge? I really appreciate you help, since I have never been to this event. Thanks so much.

Will do, Jim. Thanks for braving the weather last night!

OK. Thanks Jim. Maybe I'll see you there.

welcome to the photography group!

Hey, Jim! Great to have you on board! Try to make our next Meetup on Jan 5th.

Welcome to the group!
