    EAST COAST Meet Up - Lessons in Photography - Beckley WV Oct 10-12

    I was thinking we should start a new thread, so everyone didn't have to go through the other stuff to find out what's in store for them at WV.

    Maybe Khrissy and Doodle can enlighten everyone and share again who will be doing what. I had a hard time trying to find it in the threads.

    Also...if anyone is interested in learning something that we are not going over...just mention it and we'll try to plan for it.

    Looking forward to the happy weekend...it can't come fast enough!

    If you came Friday, do you have an estimated time?

    I'm trying to get a feel for what time to start the festivities and see if we should plan on dinner Friday night or a Bon Fire?

    I haven't made reservations yet but I plan to be there late Thursday night provided gas doesn't get to $10 a gallon.

    If you need someone to do a studio lighting class, I can bring my setup and help with that.  Also, can assist with a business class if needed.

    I should be in Thursday afternoon.

    Lowry...I would certainly be interested in learning lighting from you. That would be terrific if you put a lesson together for us. Thank you very much for offering!

    Re: EAST COAST - Who will be going over what....

    Depending on traffic delays, it is about a 10 1/2 hour drive for me so it will probably  be 7:00 before I get there.  Unfortunately, I have to leave early on Sunday morning coming back and so I am hoping all the classes will be on Friday evening and Saturday.

    Any chance of that happening?

    Re: EAST COAST - Who will be going over what....

    Sorry guys - It's been hard for me to keep up with the forum lately!  Embarrassed  I can be there whenever, since I'm just about an hour away.  (I am debating whether to even get a room - we'll see how that plays out!)  I thought I may go with Dan Friday morning, and play chauffeur, since I know my way around. Hopefully that will save him some time, not having to figure out where he is going.  We can scope out locations for Sat. morning's landscape class.  I'm still trying to find a place for a bonfire, but that is proving harder than I thought.  The classes sound awesome - I still wish someone would do some high key work - I am SOOO excited to learn that.  Mine is awful!  But if not, no biggie - looks like it is shaping up to be a GREAT conference!
