2008 - Ninth Anniversary Party

On Saturday, September 13, 58 CGM members and friends met at the Common Man restaurant to celebrate the group's ninth anniversary. It was the most people we've ever put into this space. As one of the crew members dashing about making sure everything was running smoothly, I didn't have time for much photography. Luckily, Dale did have time. My thanks to him for getting everyone to pose for him! My thanks to the Common Man for having a white ceiling!

  • Let's dance. As the music provider, it always worries me how well the dance portion of the evening will do. This year, we did good!

  • Shots like this make me think that Dale is a pro photographer at heart. This shot has not been cropped or retouched; it's just about perfect. I would be worried except that earlier I watched him try to blind himself by looking almost directly into the flash. Poor guy. I sure appreciate the superb photography he turned in this night.
