Since 1995, The WELL Cooking conference has held a potluck crab fest each year. Twenty or more people gather to feast upon gloriously fresh Dungeness crab complemented by a wonderful variety of homemade dipping sauces and side dishes brought by the attendees. Offerings might include homemade goodies ranging from exquisitely toothsome ciabatta and hand-picked, home-cured olives to Meyers lemon squares and chocolate cheesecakes.

The following images are from the first time we tried to capture a crab fest digitally. The photos came out dark and grainy, and though at the time they seemed like a fine record of Crab Fest 2001, we're glad that digital cameras have improved so much in the past few years.
