Stuff<\/h3>\n

I enjoyed a great morning at Morro Bay with two private clients, Bill Goodhew and Dwayne Marrott. The curlews and godwits and Willets and Western Gulls were all in fine form and the light was sweet. The afternoon, with a bit of fog thrown in, was fair to good. It got so foggy in the end that we wound up creating pleasing blurs. <\/p>\n

I met the Canon Destination Workshop group at 7pm for our introductory session. Everyone in the group was nice and there were lots of good questions; everyone seemed eager to learn. Several folks borrowed 200-400 (with Internal TC) lenses. This blog post took 1 1\/2 hours to put together and was published from my hotel room in Morro Bay, CA at 9:40pm. <\/p>\n
