Reunited With Vandigicam: Portrait Throwdown III

August 31, 2006 by Gail

Vandigicam meetup
Vandigicam meetup by m.d.

Tonight was my first Vandigicam event since Code Blue a year ago. Vandigicam’s grown a lot since last summer, and I knew maybe half of the bunch who turned up at the Inukshuk at English Bay, but everyone was very friendly and a good sport about having their photo taken. Me, I’m still a bit squirmy about being on the receiving side of the lens, but Mark made me laugh and put me at ease. See, I even like this photo!

The crowd piled into La Bodega afterwards and I stayed late chatting with Bill, Jason, and Matt until we were subtly nudged out the door. It’s good to be back with the Vandigicam crew!

Portrait Throwdown III thread and photos.

[Update: Sunday, Sep 3 -- put together a photoset for the Portrait Throwdown. A work in progress.]

[Update: Wednesday, Sep 6 -- the podcast for the event is up at audihertz.com!]

    That is so cool!

    That explains why photos of you, especially if taken by someone else, have you looking vaguely uneasy, as if you’d rather be taking the picture yourself. Not like my girlfriend who has her standard paste-on grin that she pulls out every picture, guaranteed.
