Judging gigs
I've enjoyed judging some fairly illustrious type design contests with some great people, as well as numerous more humble events, portfolio reviews and the like. It's an incredible opportunity to exchange opinions with colleagues about the submitted work as well as the state of the art.
Here are a few photos from two of the events.

Gary Munch directed the Type Director's Club type design contest in 2002 and the judges were (top left) Dick Weltz, Dennis Pasternak, myself and John Downer.
