Ken was on my list (I may get some coaching myself). Katherine Wright at the Troy Photocenter may be able to help too.

Go see Bruce Barlow and Richard Ritter. They offer numerous LF workshops in Brattleboro, VT and are fabulous folks.

You can find them at www.finefocusworkshops.com

You could probably count the active LF photographers in the Albany area on the fingers of one hand.

Two 'nearby' options include Bruce Barlow & Richard Ritter over in the Brattleboro/Keene area, and Peters Valley Craft Center in northwestern New Jersey (in Delaware Water Gap Recreational Area).

Eddie is a very gracious ambassador for large format photography.

What are your needs? If you simply want to try out a camera and see if the workflow appeals to you, I'd suggest hooking up with someone here to "kick the tires" before spending money on a multi-day workshop.

I'm not knocking the workshops, mind you. I plan to go to either Vt or Peters Valley this summer.

Do you own a camera?

If not the Tire Kicker workshop at Peters Valley or Fine Focus may be the way to go. All the equipment you need to bring for the workshop is a note book and pen. Full camera setup is provided. The workshop cover everything from working with the camera to developing the film.
