The ultimate in digital photography
Don Peterson:
Some beautiful stuff there. I will pass the link on to my school photo list serve. I'm sure they will enjoy exploring it.
Thanks, Ron

Two thoughts.
One: I see that Bruce Fraser (or RAW fame and other digital pic reasons) is joining Johnson for a workshop on colour management.
Two: How about the digital pic portion of the framily picking a workshop and making it a rally site?

Good Idea. But I'll bet we can't get our schedules to work right. Perhaps if it's far enough out, it would work.

Could prove to be a very interesting rally.

Ron,
I sure would be interested but, as you said, it would be difficult to get everyone together.

What a great idea Doug! All we need is someone to take names and pick a place.

OK, so let's try this.
Seems to me most people would be in the SW over the winter months. This means January has some high possibility, especially if it was before Quartzsite and after Alamo Lake (although I recall seeing that folks were looking for a new Alamo Lake).
On that basis, what does Stephen J have cooking in January 2006?
Seems we might be in luck. Check out:

If you're like me, when you go there you'll find a very attractive proposition, especially because of Stephen's use of the "Magical Digital Bus" (man, he's got a lot of toys in that sucker)!
However, if you're still like me, you'll come down with a bad case of sticker shock. Nevertheless, the workshop is already full with a waiting list. He's testing the waters on a second workshop there, late January 2006.
So, is there an alternative?
I think there may be one. His workshops conducted at his studios in Pacifica, CA, are far less expensive--on the basis of a quick boo around I'd say $500 and less.
On the assumption that a Pacifica workshop could become the locus for a framily rally, the question becomes: What time of year are folks most likely to be in a position to go to / detour through Pacifica?
In summary to this point:
1. what are people's reactions to $1,450 for a four day workshop in Death Valley, in late January (if we could get in)? Come to think of it, if we had enough subscribers I wonder if he would put one on just fro framily (and open to others once framily have had a first refusal)?
2. what are people's reactions to doing a workshop in Pacifica and at what time of year. Again, may be he's open to being chartered for a framily workshop in Pacifica???
Ciao,
Doug
PS: Since I'm north of the 49th for most of the year, if someone else wants to pick up this ball, they may do without taking any skin off my nose. ;D
