Hey Josh, just wanted to say thanks for that vid of your talk with R. Wan. Friendly rivalry aside, it was good to hear what he had to say. I didn't know that he was to thank for the popularity of multi-colored strands. Great job with the Pearl Talk vids!

Great work Anna! The passion you have for pearls and pearl creations shines through your work.

What you said about it being heaven on earth! It seems fitting that so much purity and beauty would bring us (IMHO) the world's greatest pearls.

Great little vid Josh (made me homesick!). Mr. Yu is a gracious man who has done well in an ailing industry.

Hey Steve, good to hear from you. :) OK, I'm going to stick my neck out with a date. Weekend of the 11th and 12th of June. My wife has a writer's conference in Vancouver that weekend so I'll be able to hang, explore and talk pearls that weekend. What do you guys think?

Awesome, thanks Dave for transporting me into your world with that post. I sure would love to visit. My camera and appetite are never lacking but it's definitely time to invest in a wet (or dry) suit. Might have to wait for the next windfall for that one!

Hooray for Hisano and Jeremy!

Alright Dave, You are due for another update no? :D

Yeah, coming from the saltwater realm, I have to admit to some serious metallic luster envy. That's so crazy how they seem to get more polished with age and size. I hope they are marketed to reflect how amazing they are. Josh looks like you are doing a great job to me. Haha, not so sure...

I dig it. Always enjoy a little thinking outside the box.

Douglas, you have done a masterful job of luring us to your blog. Be there shortly! Cephalopodian Royal Flush! Thanks for that Steve. However it's spelled, the mere concept is now imprinted on my brain. Love it. My first business venture at age 18 was an enterprise called "Squidart." It...

Dig the pearl talk, especially Josh's line, "we're talkin' pearls cuz that's what we do." Beyond the pearl gangsta talk I really enjoyed Jeremy showing the crew that when it comes to pearls, he knows his stuff.

Raise your hand if you are a Natalie Portman fan (dang, the little thumbs up hand doesn't work in the text!).

Hey Nerida, Nice to see you too! That's awesome that you are doing kangaroo leather. It has been on my radar for some time. For anyone who didn't know, those giant marsupials have much lower ecological impact than cows, sheep, goats and all those other mammalian grazers out there. Methane...

Apologies if this question has come up and been answered before, but should Galatea pearls be considered Tahitian? The farmer in Tahiti who was doing them has/is (not sure which now) relocated to Vietnam. What do y'all think?

Hey Sheryl, good to "see" you too! You're leaving the tropics? That's terrible! Uh, I mean, wow! On to new horizons, congratulations! :D Hey what happened to www.maunakeamoonlight.com? Just today I realized that my link doesn't go anywhere any more. Looks like you can still buy it back...(?)

Great photo Effisk. You can even see someone surfing one of the waves. Kiteboarding is huge here in the Columbia River Gorge (which I'm guessing you have heard of) but I haven't gotten into it yet. It's expensive to gear up so I guess I'll have to sell some pearls. :)

My calendar (inshallah) too!

Great vid Effisk! The follow cam stuff and the painful (but honest) blooper sections were really great. Thanks for making me jones for the beach. :D

Hey Dave, Good to hear from you. Would love to make it up your way in the months to come. I need to go back into the archives to get up to speed with your work. You're right about the shutter too. I was up in the Gorge yesterday giving it a solid workout. :) Effisk, more beach pics please!
