RB Meet - Powlett River

We had a wonderful time – really nice people you guys are. Where have you all been hiding???
Ok – I’m sticking with portraits firstly because that’s what everyone really wants to see, secondly, I don’t have time right now to go through scenery – and thirdly, I like making people squirm ;)

Travis – sorry man – you left too early :)

    whats that mark, you would have added some stunning filter to make me look younger and attractive.

  • Lois Romer

    Lois Romer

    Pity my personality can’t be photographed that should account for something.

  • Mark Germancommunity host replied

    Lois – youth is subjective.

    Pity my personality can’t be photographed that should account for something.

    ...and I’d like to think that it would not be that hard to capture a good portrait of you. If I couldn’t, then I may as well delete all my work and go get a real job. Now stop fishing ;)

  • Lois Romer

    Lois Romer

    Mark im no fishing for anything. gone are the days of me fishing. Hell im not even datring any more until hell freezes over.

    Thanks everyone for a great day, sorry I had to leave so early. Would have been great to stay for the sunset, but had to work. Was really nice to meet you all, was a little nervous about my first redbubble meet. Excellent images Mark, i thought you would have got me laughing, but it actually turned out pretty damm good. Now i know what you mean when you are going in for the sneaky pictures. Might have to use that as my new avatar picture, if you dont mind. Looking forward to the next meet.

  • Mark Germancommunity host replied

    Go ahead, man – it is you, after all haha!

  • Cathy Middleton

    Cathy Middleton
