Description
I'm ringing this bell to get your attention!
If you are interested in meeting one or more of the following people, and you are somewhere in close proximity to Chicago, listen up!
(In alphabetical order, because I have to do it in SOME order!)

These people will all be in Chicago on Saturday, September 19th. I would HATE to come home and have someone say, "OMG! You were in Chicago this weekend and you didn't tell me? If I'd known, I would have come!"
If you want to join us for lunch and some general silliness, please site mail one of us.
... There is one person who isn't on this list but we wish were here. Bill (bmac62) was a big part of the original plan, but he's home with his feet up, recovering from surgery. Bill, we love you, and will miss you like crazy this weekend! ...
And because there are SO many songs that have been written about Chicago, here's one of my favorites ...
Crosby, Stills & Nash: CHICAGO

The bell is from MooseRidge Gardens. If it looks familiar, it's because I posted a really closeup shot of just PART of the bell a few weeks ago, and promised one day I would show you the whole bell. See? I CAN take a picture of ALL of something! :P

boy talk about good timing: I'm commenting a week later! (You know what would be a really good bit? 16 people show up at the hotel tonight..."anyone home???" Ok, not funny, but still...) Well it's history now, and all who were there had a fantastic time. And the gods brought you all the best weather we've had in September in ages. Believe me, you couldn't have had better for Chicago. (Well it could've been cooler, I know. Come back in January: You'll get your prayers answered in spades!) And this shot, by itself, is another beautiful Tara shot, not with a strong crop like the last bell, but showing the whole thing where your composition is still oblique & expressive: The bell isn't quite centered, and the post it's suspended from is on one side, giving that 'presence to one side' that you do so well (proportion is everything in compositions like that); and the background makes up the rest of the shot...Your detail is, as always, scintillating & eloquent. It's articulate. You really do well with objects like this—as in your portraits, you coax the life from them either in your eye (when you shoot), whatever setting you use in the camera, your postwork, your crops, etc. A very alive bell; and it's nice to see the whole living organism after working with the truncated version for your dedi. (I lived with that thing Tara, I mean I ate, slept & drank that thing! I'm serious! I may know that shot better than you, lol...) A beautiful shot, and the time in my hometown was magic...
