Good morning all!

I had a great, informative time with John, Jack, Paul, Larry and others in OH. Very worthwhile trip and learned a lot more, hearing additional stories that will make the film even better.

Great meeting all the Poggers who came to the meeting and are willing to help.

Even got the personal tour of Amherst driven by JP himself! I think he said as he was driving (a little fast) me in his van..."Most people don't like to drive with me Todd. You must be pretty brave".

Hah! I loved it!

We're headed back with cameras in a few weeks for shoot #1.

Anyway, as some of you may know one of the Kickstarter rewards for backers is either a poster or Giclee of a Tom Fritz commissioned painting of John.

I spoke with Tom a while back and he said it will take a few months to work our project into his schedule and then more time to get it done. He suggested that we start looking for the the right image for him to paint.

I would like to put out there to everyone if they know of something great and unique of John Penton photowise, lets' see 'em! I think an action shot will be best and probably something on a Penton will be what we will all want, but who knows, maybe there is something else that will be worthy of the painting.

Obviously, this is the type of pic that we would be looking for capturing the emotion, determination, etc. that his John Penton...might be the one in the end. But let's see more!

Thanks!

Todd
