on the town with Andy

[Harryb]

Hi you'll

Before I moved to Florida and saw my first egret I had the opportunity to shoot around NYC with Andy W. I just felt going into the old vault and pulling out some of those moments.

at some point in every day Andy took a moment out to pray to his camera

It seems that Andy always wanted to go to Times Square for some reason

When he bought the 828 he showed that the "purple issue" wasn't that serious

If Andy wasn't shooting or eating he usually was on his cell phone

That they were Peter. Andy and I had a hell of a time.

[wxwax]

The first one's funny but I love this one.

Very nice Harry.
I'm on board with everyone as to favorites
However might I add that you should use caution with shoots like this. After all this is a family oriented site, and we don't need to show more skin then needed. :lol4 :lol4 :rofl
In fact looks to me like the guy in white is thinking, perhaps the same :D

[USAIR]

Ah yes the good old days when Andy was a sony man :D
Also remember when Andy saw purple some thought it was the end of the world :cry

Good photos Harry I remember some of these :thumb

Thanks
Fred

These are great memories, I remember, STF was great place to see and read about the adventures from Andy and yourself. They really inspired me, and I enjoyed seeing your daily posts.

It was my goal to have a day or two out with you guys. And it happened one year ago this weekend (if I am correct?). What a great time I had!:clap
I learned so much and had such a great time.

I was just about to post some photos from that trip, when I saw this post.

I will go find some now and post soon.

Thanks again to you and Andy!

Hey Sid,

That has been one of my favorites. That old 717 was an amazing piece of work.

Harry - I'm usually surprised to see any post by you that doesn't include feathers but in this case, considering the subject matter, I'm STUNNED there isn't a rib or a latte to be seen! :D

Very nice set and history. Thanks for sharing.

[GREAPER]

Great Stuff Harry. The train shot is my favorite.

[Andy]

I'm STUNNED there isn't a rib or a latte to be seen! :D

Thanks Gus. I didn't have much to work with but I did the best I could. :D

Yes, there are times when you just have to be content with the subject matter on hand. Good to see you again. All this food is making me hungry....lol

You're right Ben, I went over the line here. The other guy on the bench pulled the hood over his face and averted his eyes when he saw Andy approaching. :rofl

Thanks

Hey Fred,

Thanks its always fun to look at those old shots.

[Nikolai]

Great series!
I betcha egrets spend far less time on the cell phone. Unfortunately, they are also on a seafood diet, so if you wanna get directions to a place that serves a nice piece of meat you still gonna dial NYC:-)
Thanks for sharing!

Hey Brian,

I've never seen him happier. :D Thanks for your comment on the train shot.

Hey David,

I amde do with the lad but he didn't make it easy. I must have gained 20 lbs between the food and Starbucks stops. :D

[BigAl]

Harry, I remember when those pics were originally posted. Thanks for the memories of happier times in other places (I'm sure it's different here :D).

That train shot is great stuff :thumb

Speaking of which, I heard that the NYC is going to drop its plan for
banning photography in the subway :clap

Hey Alan,

Welcome to Dgrin its fantatsic seeing you over here and I'm honored that you made your first Dgrin post here.

The physical set-up here is different but I think it has the spirit of those memories of happier times.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of your pics again.

Thanks Ian and it is great that they are backing off on the silly proposal.

[BigAl]

Thanks for the SUPER welcome Harry. I actually found the place by accident, when someone (who shall remain unnamed) mentioned it in one of the mudslinging threads.

As I said to Yuri, I'm hoping to get a smugmug account up and running before the weekend to show some pics taken with my new toy.

regards
alan

[lynnma]

Thanks Lynn you are very kind especially when you use the word snazzy in connection with Andy. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/mwink.gif When I first met him he just didn't know how to dress. It took a lot of work to get him presentable. http://dgrin.com/images/smilies/roflol.gif

I think the praying might have helped. He kept intoning "Kodak Picture of the Day, Kodak Picture of the Day" over and over. :rofl

[ginger_55]

Andy has MY camera for sale: a 10-22 Canon.

AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH

If I prayed to my camera?????

I mean I gave the Kodak thing to him, never enter myself anymore. All I have talked about was the 10-22. Well, you can take my words to the stock market. But don't, buy real estate, yes, even now!

Anyway, I started talking that lens up, watched Gus use his, drooled.......

Now a lot of people are getting it, well, ...........OK, I read a post from a new owner, then I see Andy's post.

I have lost my mind, totally. AAAAGHHHHHHHH. And you shot with this sadist.

(I love the praying to his camera shot!)
good shooting Harry,
Thanks for YOUR memories.

Ginger,

At some point in time Andy has had everyone's camera or lens for sale. :D
Yes I shot with Andy, it wsn't easy but somebody had to do it and I'm a veteran.

Thanks for stopping by.

Harry, great memories. I met the guy and I think you've done Mr. Andy Williams justice =)
