Met on the street outside Port O’Call, Salt Lake City
‘Who’s inside?’ the driver asked from the car window. ‘Is it someone famous?’ None of us was swift enough to say, ‘Britney Spears.’ Six people standing out in the rain must have an important reason to be getting their cameras wet. Paparazzi, that’s us. Yer, not quite. This couple was kind enough to pose. And the Port O’Call bouncer was friendly; we invited him to join us on the next Photowalk.
We declare a complete victory on the 1st Salt Lake City Photowalk, despite disappointing the passersby on spotting glitterati. Met some nice folks: Harley, Rich, Diane, and new blogger Scott, (already knew Bryan). Took more pictures than I expected, see them on our flickr pool. Rich has a nice write up about it.
The only disappointment of the day was the sad news when I arrived home. France 20, AllBlacks 18 in the quarter-final elimination round of the Rugby World Cup. And now I see that kiwi Prime Minister Helen Clark is telling her citizens not to blame the refs, as she returns from the match to New Zealand. The prime minister was at the quarter-final in Wales? Rugby is serious business. The night we arrived in NZ in 2003, the AllBlacks loss to the Aussies in the semi-finals provoked days of national mourning. The hand-wringing has commenced again. Kind of like half the state of Utah after the Utah-BYU match. But the poor kiwis have four years to wait for revenge.
Next Photowalk won’t be that far off – Friday, October 19. We are planning to go west of Gateway, around the galleries and clubs during gallery stroll. Will have a real plan soon.
