    Faraaz Abdool traveled from warm and sunny Trinidad to join Denise Ippolito and me on theJanuary Barnegat Jetty IPT. The weather was unseasonably pleasant. A good time was had by all and it was great meeting Faraaz.

    Artie and Rachael, very true, even though I was there for only Sunday.

    Happy to meet you, Faraaz, and welcome to BPN. Photographing in the cold up in NJ must have been a lot different than from your home country!! :) Looking forward to seeing more of your images on BPN.

    Hey guys - yes thankfully I didn't freeze my tail off while on the jetty for those few days! Enjoyed it thoroughly and a huge THANK YOU to Artie for lending me those NEOS. Don't know what I would've done without them. Actually I know what would've happened - I would've slipped all over those rocks, my feet would've been cold like the devil's soul and I would've missed out on many opportunities.
    Colin - you got there on the best day. Perfect timing!
    Thanks again for the warmth you guys welcomed me with on the IPT - and thanks to the rest of you for the warmth on BPN.


    *EDIT* - And I can't stop dreaming about the 500II. *drool*

    Faraaz,
    Being from Florida I'm pretty sure I'd be bundled up even in if "The weather was unseasonably pleasant".
    I'm sure it was a great learning experience.

    Yes James - I am so thankful that I was on the January IPT and not the December IPT that was bitterly cold according to seasoned veterans of winter!

    The most important thing I learned at the jetty was actually awareness of EVERYTHING around your subject. Among loads of other things, of course. I carried a pocketbook to take notes but was too busy photographing! Fortunately Artie has a way of making information stick. Must be his years of experience as an educator :-).
