For the second year in a row, we've pulled it off: We've put out a book of PDML photography. Once again, all profits will go to the National Childhood Cancer Foundation.
The PDML is the Pentax-Discuss Mailing List, an enthusiast group of Pentax photographers. The book is called PDML Photo Annual 2010.
New for this year: A gallery in Chicago is holding an exhibit of prints of images from the book. No kidding. Okay, it's a small, out-of-the way place that normally devotes itself to German cultural themes, but its curator knows one of the PDML members in last year's Photo Annual, and when she saw the book she approached us about doing an exhibit.
Dank Haus Gallery
4740 N. Western Avenue
Chicago, Illinois 60625
Exhibit runs from May 8th through June 12th. There's a reception/opening from 6–9 p.m. on May 7th, open to the public (Mike's been invited). Hope to see some of you Midwestern Pentax shooters there!

Would be cool if you could make it down, Mike. The excuse of your car not being able to make the trip is no longer valid ;-)

For those who are wondering about where the proceeds from the PDML book will go:

but wait, there's more. In addition to a chance to meet a great group, many of us are going to take in the Eggleston show at AIC.
I think we'll also take a few photos. It would be fun to have you along, Mike.

A couple of points:
The reception begins at 6:00 p.m. - not 6:00 a.m. as stated on the Dank Haus web page!
The next day (Saturday, May 8), a group of us are going to the Art Institute of Chicago at 10:00 (a.m.) to see the Eggleston exhibit. All are welcome the Friday reception and the Saturday gallery trip. You can leave a note on the PDML Photo Annual's Facebook page www.facebook.com/pages/PDML-Photo-Annual/119470411397894
