OK folks, we are all set for the Strobist Meet up.
All the details are secure, and we are ready to have you sign up. See info below to sign up.
Date: Thursday, Jan 1 Start Time 3 p.m. End Time 8 p.m.
Location: Firehouse 13 This is a great location, check out their website, we will be on the first floor. I will post some interior shots on the blog later. www.firehouse13.org
Directions: See www.firehouse13.org
Format: This is not a lecture or workshop, this is a mutual learning opportunity. The assumption is we all need to learn from each other, and if everyone comes with this attitude, it will be great. At the bottom of this email, I've included suggestions from previous strobist meet ups. If you are not familiar with Strobist go here www.strobist.com
I will set up a system for all the photographers to work together in small groups, just to get things organize. This will be fluid, and you can of course move in and out of groups. We'll have three models, maybe a fourth if we get more photographers. This way we won't all be crowding around one set up.
Equipment: Bring your gear. Most important is when you register tell me what kind of lighting gear you'll be bringing. This way we can organize in advance, and minimize a lot of hassle at the beginning of the day. I especially need to know if you are bringing Pocket Wizards, umbrellas, Softbox, Strobes. Or if you are bringing nothing. I do NOT need to know what camera or lens you will bring.
Models: I have three Models, Cynthia, MacKenzie & Damien. Photos on the Blog. . I've worked with them before, they are not professional models, but have a knack for modeling and a fair amount of experience.
Use of Images: First off, all the models want images for their portfolio, so part of your agreement in participating is to get them some of your best images. Please plan on following through with this. You can use images for your websites and publicity, but selling images, well you need to negotiate that with the models afterward.
Costs & Sign up: I'm limiting this to a max of 12 photographers. Why, cause the space will allow us, plus models enough room to move around, but not get in each others way too much. The cost is $45, which covers the rental of the space and the cost of the models.
If you want to do this, you can sign up by registering by paying $45 to me through paypal. My paypal is jimhazelwood@mac.com If you don't use paypal, email me, and I can have you send me a check.
Food: I'm not in charge of food or drink. You are. Bring your own, or there is a McDonalds across the street. Yummmmmmm. No alcohol, as our contract with Firehouse does not allow alcohol. We can go out afterwards if you wish - for a meal and a laughs.
Should be fun!
