Starting in Northern California with Lucasfilm at Skywalker Ranch again then down to LA at the start of March, then over to Austin for South by South West Film Festival then back to Skywalker again. Phew.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I would love to try and meet as many people as possible in this time. I was supposed to have a meet up in San Rafael in December but weather and schedule conspired against me.<\/p>\n<p>Location and time confirmed! This Friday at 8pm!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theflaty.com\/\">The Flatiron Saloon<\/a><br \/>724 B St<br \/>San Rafael,\u00a0CA\u00a094901<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested can you post your interest below in the comments? The ones in Chicago and Toronto were a lot of fun and met a lot of great people. Bring your cameras if you can. Should be a lot of fun. Sara Collaton will be there too, if she gets her passport back in time!<\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy these meet-ups as I have made a lot of friends online and it&#8217;s great to put names to faces and show that as good as the internet is, there is nothing better than getting a group of like minded people in a room together with booze and cameras!!<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also great to see such a cross section of people at these meet-ups. Professionals, amateurs, students and people like Peter Hitchcock below who has been in the business for 40+ years starting with Thunderbirds.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some incredibly unflattering photos I took at the Toronto meet up with the amazing new 14mm Canon F2.8 lens. Just don&#8217;t use it for portraits like me \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Details for the LA and other meet ups will be posted on my blog when I get a better ideas of dates.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7691\" style=\"width: 670px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-7691 lazyload\" title=\"IMG_8253\" data-src=\"http:\/\/staging.philipbloom.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/IMG_8253-670x446.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"670\" height=\"446\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/IMG_8253-670x446.jpg 670w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/IMG_8253-310x206.jpg 310w, https:\/\/philipbloom.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/IMG_8253.jpg 1280w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 670px;
