2014-233 Argust 14, 2014

From the folks at the Argus Collectors' Group www.arguscg.org/events/argusda… :

This is the official website of Argus Day - the original 'take your Argus camera with you' day, created in 2001 by James M. Surprenant, Marcy Merrill and members of the Argus Collectors Group.

Each consecutive Argus Day falls one year and one day after the previous. Thus, Argust 1st was 8/1/2001 and Argust 2nd was 8/2/2002. This year, the 14th annual Argus Day will be Sunday, Argust 14, 2014.

You are encouraged to grab your favorite Argus Camera, load it and carry it with you that Friday, whever you would go. Take photographs during the day and then submit jpegs of your two favorite images to this site by sending them as email attachments to wesley at megley .... com.

Here is my one photo from Argust 14.  I had great plans for getting out for an afternoon walk and taking lots of pictures, but work turned out to be a zoo (a happy, productive zoo, but a zoo nonetheless).  The western sky was still pretty when I got home so I stepped out on the back deck for a shot.  I developed the roll after work yesterday and started scanning this evening.
