Betsy-18 A couple of hours with Betsy Foster Breen (Shutterbuglady) in NYC..we drove up to meet her when she was in for a visit at Christmas time!

October 23,2009 Scott Kelby and I at the PDN Photo Plus Expo in New York City. I know he is not a SmugMugger, but his name is certainly mentioned often enough that I felt I could post our pic here. What a nice gentleman to let me gush about how excited I was to meet him walking through the lobby of Jacob Javits. He offered to have his friend take our pic with my camera.. Funny, the settings weren't exactly right and we only took one shot, but I was able to adjust it to make it workable with Lightroom2! What fun!

ArnieG and Me-1 10.13.09 I was so happy that ArnieG came over and introduced himself to me at the NYC Smug last weekend. We had been in contact a few times last year and he is kind enough to keep me in the loop of his great photos by emailing me links to his galleries. He is a fabulous musician photographer and keeps up a wonderful gallery called "Faces in the Crowd"...I really enjoy his photography and have learned a lot from him. Now I'm thrilled to be in his gallery of faces, too! Check out his gallery here: http://arnieg.smugmug.com/ This photo was taken by SmugMug photographer Keith Franklin from Central Jersey who was also at the SMUG with his wife Debbie.

April 30th, 2009 A fabulous day in San Francisco and the Bay Area with some fellow SmugMuggers. From left - Me ( Hillary ), Monica Toohey-Krause (KatchinYaKandid), Kathy Clarke (LadyKatePhotography) Robin and Darron Haworth ( RandD) It was a fabulous experience to hang out with this group...we all felt like we had known eachother forever! Terrific fun!

12/27/08 Shelly Chetty and her husband Mike flew into New York City for their first visit. Steve and I made arrangements to be there that day so even for a short time we could meet..this is proof that we actually did have some time together! Shelly is a warm, beautiful high energy young woman and will always hold a special place in my heart in the SmugMug community as she was the first person to ever comment on my photos when I started posting in the SmugMug Daily community!

November 16th, 2008 Leslie and I got together again for time to talk and 'shoot the shots' at the Philadelphia Zoo. We'll have to do it again one of these days!

Three Musketeers...er uh, sorry...three SmugMuggers! Alex, Me and John in Cape Charles, Virginia. Thank you both for the great effort to come meet us and share the day. We really enjoyed our time so very, very much!

November 1st, 2008 Lunch for my birthday and some photography with John Murphy, his wife Brenda, their daughter Kara, Steve and I and the infamous self-portrait photographer Alex Tiethof working the tripod and timer to include us in another one of his SP's! Great to meet you Murphys and to see you again, Alex. Steve, too, really enjoyed meeting everyone! What a treat!

Irishmurr ( Carole Murray) came to Philly!!! What a perfect place for our shot together next to the Liberty Bell with Independence Hall in the background! It was really a great afternoon of walking and talking and getting to one another better. Thanks for coming to Philly!!! Photo taken by her Australian friend Judy E. who was here with her for the cadillac show. Nice to meet her, too!!!

The infamous SP project photographer Alex Teithof and I ... as though you didn't recognize him!!! Photo taken by Matt Pilsner

Hillary with John Williamson of CSPics. John made a huge effort to join us at ESP...He flew in on a night flight from California, then after hanging out with us for hours had an almost 2 hour drive back to Lancaster,PA. Thanks John for making the trip and we look forward to your pics on the Dailies and an ESP gallery, too, hopefully! Nice to meet you! Photo by Matt Pilsner

August 2008 - Laura S and I on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill. Her fabulous images of Chapel Hill were the lure to visit the state and Steve and I totally enjoyed our visit with her and her husband that afternoon!

August 2008 - Mr. Fillmore with Mrs. Shemin...What a delight to meet George and his wife Cathy in Morristown, Tennessee.

Here I am with Rick Willis of Phoenix. We met when I went back home to AZ for a wedding in April 2008.

February 2008 - Steve took this photo of me with Matt Pilsner in Princeton, NJ at the McCarter theater where Matt works. He got us 1/2 price tickets to see a play there. Thanks again, Matt. Matt was kind enough to help make the watermark of my signature that I use on my daily photos! Thanks for that, too!

Rick, my mentor on SmugMug. A great Arizona photographer and dear friend and former neighbor with his wife, Marsha, my friend, too!!! At their home in Scottsdale, AZ. Check out his great photography here: http://azrick.smugmug.com/

Post 759 11.19.10 A special rendevous with another Daily family SmugMugger. This photo was taken by my son Andrew when we met with Virginia Bonesteel of Two Cities Photography and her husband Charles for an afternoon our first full day in Paris a few weeks ago. As with other SmugMuggers I have met, it was as if we had known eachother forever. I first joined the dailies 3 years ago this past week and VA has always been ain inspiration to me with her wonderful eye for street photography. It was a delightful start to one of the best trips we ever had. I am fnally starting to process my photos from our recent travels. Thank you all for your wonderful reception to the iPhone pictures that I was able to post. Funny, I almost wonder if those will be my best shots. In retrospect, I think i spent more time being careful in my 'in camera' composition with the iPhone and of course watching the light and the specialness of what I wanted to capture..It will be interesting to see if I feel that way when all the editing is complete.
