I first went in 1990. Felt a connection like no other and have been to every one since. Last 17 years have been making the pilgrimage from Western Australia. I make it ~114 nights spent on the farm. Thanks to the recent resale that run will continue this year.
I guess that confers veteran status upon me, but as has been discussed there are many others who have been going longer. I would also agree that if you return once, you’re well on your way to veteran-hood.
You wouldn’t know it, but I’m a veteran round these parts too. I don’t post a lot, but a couple of my photos were quite popular a few years back. I do enjoy reading all of your musings however and feel like a silent member of a pretty cool club.
Back in 1999 I shared some of my photos with Neil and they ended up in an eFestivals gallery for a good while. That was the days of Julian Oolian and William of Walworth. Who remembers the forums back then?
