Mid

It is pretty unlikely that I would have traveled to Ohio for this show by its' self but as luck would have it my wife, Terri, was going to attend a convention in Cleveland on the same weekend as the Mid-East Model Engineering Expo. So we loaded up the car and off we went to Ohio!

I have to make an apology up front. For I can't remember how long I have fought with my camera over flash photos. I always felt they came too dark and have tried endless combinations of settings to cure the problem. I finally found a method of getting brighter pictures but went too far and had a number of photos from this show that were too light. I dealt with them as best I could in software and now know what not to do in the future. Just another reason I think of myself as a picture taker rather than a photographer!

The Mid-East show reminded me in many respects of Cabin Fever in the early days when it was sited at Leesport PA. Small, intimate and super friendly. I had a wonderful time chatting with exhibitors, vendors and other show attendees.

Jim Dunmyer sent this information about his models. Thank you Jim for contributing to these pages.

If you see your exhibit or machine and would care to drop me a line or two, or even a paragraph, about it I will be delighted to add your comments to this page. Please send to webmaster@neme-s.org To identify a photo just hover your cursor over the photo and a tag should pop up. Please use the last three digits of the tag to identify the photo. For example if the tag came up DSC03974.jpg (205067 bytes) the info I would need is 974.jpg. If this is a multi page unit the page number would also be useful.
