I want to organize a group trip to New Mexico this winter. We could do a photography class. Part of it could be working with models and learning lighting techniques, and the other part would be photographing your environment and working on making pictures in the style of Ansel Adams. We’d wake up early for great light, take a break from noon to like… three. During that time we’d go into town and get lunch and just walk around seeing small town America in the South West. Then resume for evening light and get long shadows cast in the dunes and dramatic sunsets over the desert. Is there any interest in this idea?
As long as “workshop fees” are made in payments of beer and burgers, I am in!
Though doesn’t it still get quite chilly out there in the winter?
Anywhere but Chicago, though.
GREAT! I don’t really want it to be a “fee” based thing. Obviously you’d pay your way to get down there, and we’d come to a consensus as to wether it’s more feasible to camp or get a block of hotel rooms (based on weather, cost, and number of people), but then everyone would be responsible for buying their own food or whatever, so… essentially what I’m saying is, I’d organize everything, bring it to the group and we’d settle on the best value. From there we’d be individually responsible for paying for costs, instead of making it a “you need to put this much in before we even go” kinda deal…. does that make sense?
It’s on the south side of new mexico, so… I’m sure it’d be coat weather, but it shouldn’t be tooooo bitterly cold. I’ll put it this way, Chicago will be colder.
I think the trip down would be amazing, also.
