Bosque 2006 was my very first IPT with Artie. The unexpected bonus
was meeting Linda Robbins, who is a fantastic person.
Anyway, the setup for this shot.
The gang was there for the early dawn blast off. Of course, there's also
a million other photographers there.
Eventually, Artie started shouting to the whole crowd (cause it was so dark,
it was practically impossible to see who was who) that the wind was coming
from a certain position and that we were moving.
So the group of us pick up our gear, and if memory serves me right, we setup
across the road.
While we were waiting, Artie was explaining how he felt the next wave would
pass right over us. He was also miffed that nobody else came from the deck
(their loss).
Wouldn't you know it...those darn birds flew exactly where Artie said they would.
We got our shots while the group on the deck got nothing but sky.
If there was one point that made me say, 'listen to everything this guy says', that
was it.
Then, there was Barry...
Anyhoo, back to the image...
