Hi guys,
Yes, we definitely need to do a Walt Wayman tribute TOPE, and nr. 32 is the
one it'll be. Last night I was pondering somewhat more on it, and I think
the following theme description should be pretty much fitting for the
abstract:
"Sadly one of the OM-list's biggest characters and finest photographers
passed away on July 15th, 2007. Those of us who knew Walt knew him well for
his excellent pictures, and for his tongue-in-cheek (often in-your-face)
comments on the OM-list. Those of you who do not know him, can see his work
in no less than 20 of the first 25 TOPE events, making Walt one of the most
consistent contributors, until life overtook him. In order to honour Walt's
memory well, for this theme you can either take pictures of something that
reminds you of Walt (do I hear the "SUV" word? ;) ), and/or simply take
brilliantly executed shots (of a subject of your own choice), with high
levels of detail and spot-on compositions. This is one for Walt guys, let's
make this a theme Walt would be proud of!"
Then, when performing the "Walt contribution count" (by doing a 'grep -l -r
"Walt Wayman" * | grep desc' on the main TOPE directory, which should be
accurate, unless there are any typos in his name in any of the description
files), the following list was what was returned to me. I thought those of
you who'd like to see his TOPE contributions would appreciate this (note:
e.g. tope1/descriptions/tope1_58.desc translates to: "TOPE 1, entry nr.
58")...
tope1/descriptions/tope1_58.desc
tope6/descriptions/tope6_59.desc

Enjoy, and cheers!
