(Please excuse the potentially off-topic "plug.")

 

There are still a few spots left in the Golden Trout photo workshop.  See my
initial March 3 post at

 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint/message/74943
for more basic information.

 

Briefly, the group is a non-profit (IRS Code section 501 (1) (3)) group that
has conducted workshops for years . (I volunteer as the registrar, with the
benefit to me being a free pass for me, the ability to participate in the
running of the group, and a stipend of $300 - paid to all "naturalists" and
similar volunteers - if the group covers its costs for the year.)   In
general, the camp has been oriented to natural history, but that is
flexible.  The charge -- $395 - is the minimum we think will cover our costs
and allow the group to continue.  This is not a money making venture it's
something we do for fun.

 

The camp that is used is 3 mi. past the end of the road at 10,000 feet in
the California's southern High Sierra, just south of Mt. Whitney - the
highest point in the "lower 48" US at about 14,500 feet.  The old log cabins
are photo subjects in themselves.  It is one of the only structures that has
been allowed to continue to exist in the official Wilderness Areas.  The
ability to use the facility is a real privilege.

 

This year I'm experimenting with the idea that we - this forum and the
workshop group - might be able to utilize this venue for a B&W photo
workshop, aimed at exchanging ideas, shooting, etc.  I'll cover what I do,
and hopefully some of the other experts coming will share their knowledge
also.  How it goes this year will help us see if there is an interesting
possibility here for future years.

 

Some of what I'd like to know now is whether I should coordinate packer
support for those who want to bring in more equipment than is easily
carried. 

 

Contact me off list with questions. 

 

 

Thanks.
