[Leica] Luggers Meet Up in Woodland, CA

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Just north of Davis, CA and northwest of Sacramento is where Doug has his 
show. 
Jane and I drove up today for several reasons: to deliver a print to Adam 
and 
Jan Bridge, to see Doug's prints in the gallery in Woodland, and to see 
Steve 
after too much time had passed between howdy do's.

We spent the first hour or two seeing Doug's truly glorious prints and 
having 
lunch. The difference between seeing Doug's images on the web and 
beautifully 
printed, mounted and framed is astounding. The detail, demensionality, 
subtleties of tonalities and sheer compositional and subject beauty just 
blew 
our socks off. If any of you are in the area before the show ends, be sure 
to go 
see these amazing images. If your not, buy a print from Doug and have him 
send 
it to you. You will not be  disappointed!

After lunch we met Adam and Jan back at the gallery and then imposed on Adam 
to 
show us his house and his prints. I felt like I had entered a photographic 
treasure chest. Adam's prints were absolutely stunning. I sure hope he sets 
up a 
section on the web with these images so all of you can enjoy them. They are 
beautiful.

It was one of those great days with terrific company and the sharing of our 
combined creativity. What a delight. Thanks to Doug, Steve, Adam and Jan for 
taking the time to meet with Jane and I. A memorable afternoon.

Here are a few snaps: enjoy!
