Hello Colleagues,
I will soon post a link to my usual slide show of some of the exhibits here at the Reno 2011 Fega show, the exhibition will close in ten minutes, yet seminars will be happening tomorrow morning.
The engraving art here is great, and as ever my roving camera will not be even-handedly representing everyone here. I dearly wish it was, but I could not get around all the tables, so please forgive me if your good work did not get into my camera, it should have but I ran out of time, and I also had to take time to go to the hospital and get a bad cut to my eyebrow stitched .... no, I did to get in a fist fight with a rival Scottish clansman, the truth is way more boring.
I will do my best to delete photos that do not do acceptable justice to the engraver's work ...no one is served by an out of focus photo of a fine piece of work, etc., but do remember my sideshow will be under conditions of hand held camera and difficult lighting to properly portray bulino and other fine work to best advantage. Where possible I have run my photos past the engraver to seek approval, and tried my best to make sure you will know who did the work and have something to google for websites and addresses.
Within these constraints I have sought to give a taste of only some of the exhibition tables, regret I could not cover everyone. For example, I may have missed photographing Barry H's prize winning work, even though we did clink dram glasses in the evening, so I hope others and Barry himself will be posting.
Give me a day or two to prepare a picasa link after tweaking the photos for best clarity.
It continued to be a superb show. Our sincere thanks to Rex, and his team of kind hearted volunteers, who labor long and hard throughout the year to make it all flow at show time.
Many could not be here who wanted to come. I particularly missed Liz and Ron Smith, yet trust it wont be long before we sit down together to swap songs and pick our guitars. Ron, we will be toasting you and yours later this evening when, hopefully, Weldon and his son, Bill, Abigail and Sam, Fred, Tim, Barry H may get a chance to work over some of those 'oldies but goodies'. Already, Scott sang "Pancho and Lefty" while I had the honor of picking Sam Welch's splendid hand made guitar with quality engraving. It sounds as good as it looks ...superb, and it fetched a good price at the Auction last night.
Haste ye back!
meanwhile stay tuned ...
