Last July I met Stephen Frink in Key Largo and we talked about photography and the Spiegel Grove. He was the first to photograph it when it came upright after the hurricane, I was the first to dive with a regular operation. By the way, CNN is running a story about it today (not about our meeting, about the Spiegel being upright ).

Last October I met James Wood in Bermuda. I had a great time there, but James was very busy with his class and we couldn't dive together. One more reason to come back!

I hope I can meet more people next year!

I met Drew (aka scubadru) last week while he had his brief stop in Bangkok.
Still drool over his Sardine run video and dolphins photos!
Of course I have also met a couple of other wetpixlers who reside in Bangkok: Whitehead and theHamburger!

In February, hopefully I will meet Mike V when I am in Yap!

[MikeVeitch]

Hopefully? Yap is very small....

[ssra30]

Mike, I suppose there is no way to avoid meeting you there then

[MikeVeitch]

Well that all depends on whether you like to drink....avoid the bar and you might not meet me...

Eric
James
Craig (all at DEMA in Houston) Whatever happened to Craig anyway...?

Tim Rock

I just got back from Provo, where I met David Gallardo (David G) and Christopher Guglielmo (www.aquaexposure.com)

[Andi Voeltz]

I just stumpled across this post here. It is kina old but the site has grown so much since my most active days here as a digital newbie... So let's see..

I met a lot of the folks listed here, but unfortunately nobody seems to remember me
I am especially reffering/comlaining to

• James (we stayed at your house and cleaned your aquarium and you forget me! doh! * well that was the complaint now thanks again for your great hospitality!)
• Eric (four times, Antibes, DEMA Berlin and Oakland)
• KDietz (remember DEMA?)

and recently.. Dr. Alex

the only one who has been there since the beginning of all these digital pathways and who I never met was Giles. I think I have to book my ticket to Cayman for 2007

[mattdiver]

I've met quite a few Weptixel members, but today's a record: had lunch with NickJ, DeanB and Lorenzo (long-time lurker, promised to register ), and I'm meeting Cor and Bella a bit later. That's an impressive international line-up for just one day! Guess who's who...



Not the best of photos, but ironically, none of us had a camera on hand, so we used a phone camera

NickJ and DeanB are most active in the video forum, so that leaves me as the culprit, I guess

[MikeVeitch]

ooooooooo let me try...

in the back would be Lorenzo..
Nick on the left, matt in the middle, and wacko Dean B on the right....

damn, dean is not ginger.. i am most upset...

oh and matt, i guess chatting via someone else's msn doesn't count eh?!

[mattdiver]

Correct all the way, Mike!

damn, dean is not ginger.. i am most upset...

That was before we started on beer. That explains it.

oh and matt, i guess chatting via someone else's msn doesn't count eh?!

Hardly. We'll count it the day we do a video-chat over Skype... That new broadband connection of yours does allow you to do that, right?

[DeanB]

Mike: Told ya I was not a ginger.. although a bottle of Vo5 'greasey bastard look' helps...

Had a great day albeit swaying from side to side and that was before the drink..Bloody boats

Cheers to Matt, Lorenzo and Nick for the LARGE buffet, and damn good company.

Had a long night down Clarkes quay later, sampled a few in 'Hooters'

Singapore is cool...

Dive safe

[NickJ]

Yes it was an excellent day. I love watching people spend money on nice toys, and later in the afternoon Lorenzo staggered back to his pad with a brand new Z1, Gates Z1 Housing, and Fathom UWA lens, not to mention a few bags and accessories etc.

I'm also placing bets that Dean will be trading in his A1/Evo combo shortly for a bigger toy!

Yes "Hooters" is fun, but a bit of a mis-nomer in Singapore. However "Currents on an Ironing-Board" is probaby not a good marketing pitch .....

[DeanB]

Yes there was a lack of 'walter mitties' in that bar..Still after looking at 11 hairy arsed divers for a week..

Ended up drinking till around 4am, so good night had by all.

Cheers again Nick
