Jim's Quite Unofficial
GNI 1997 Gathering Pix Collection

Monday 18 August 1997

It rained overnight. In fact, it poured. But did we let this stop us??

Of course we did! We're naked, and do you think we're gonna walk back to our cabins from the disco through a pouring rain?

Well, most of us did so in spite of the rain. We survived. We can survive anything -- even clothes!

The rain stopped just after breakfast, however, and blue sky was spotted in the west. By lunch the sky was beautiful, the humidity low, the temperature a delightful 75 F or so. And the forecast was for more of the same.

Monday saw Bill's annual demonstration of his buns-casting technique. Here he is with his assistant and model, immediately after removing the finished product. Phew! Anybody got a towel?

At 11, country-western dance lessons began, Here's the two teachers, hamming it up with a rustic pitchfork left over from the previous day's cocktail party.
Outdoors, the rain stopped for good and gorgeous weather moved in..

Next came the erotic photography workshop. Here's Bobby volunteering to put some clothes on so that it can be erotic to take them off.

Some models posed in front of the entire group of photographers (left), whereas others were more comfortable one-on-one (right).

This is the crowd which showed up, as viewed from across the tennis courts.

This fellow and I engaged in a good-natured photo faceoff as we each furiously shot photos of each other.

Note: Several more photos of this day were posted as soon as I found the time. See below.
