A convenient location or destination location?

Print sharing & making new friends with like-minded photographers sounds great!
Add a variety of photo shoot opportunities/locations (before/during/afterwards), a drivable location, reasonable hotels, and plenty of notice of final dates/times.

Very much appreciate each comment. Final details are all complete. A formal announcement in a new thread. Springtime 2019 in southern New England. Please comment on the new thread as that is what drives activity and keeping it current.
Cheers. SS

[faberryman]

What exactly do you mean by "free weekend"? Presumably we would be picking up the costs of airfare, car rental, hotel, meals, incidentals.

Hello Randy, There are a number of seasoned LF photogs behind this and we want to put our best foot forward with the launch of this. Stay tuned, I will post a link here to the new thread and hope we all can keep this idea in the current for next spring.

Cheers, SS

The dates have been in place for a while, with some of the LF photogs who are organizing this and traveling considerable distance it needs to be next year and without the threat of inclement weather here in New England, therefore the first week of May is in place. Cheers, SS

That would seem appropriate don't you think. There maybe a few meals here at my home that would be free of charge if that is of interest.

Hope you give it some consideration, SS

[djdister]

Hmm, Connecticut isn't too far from New Hampsha', so its a good possibility for me...

[Ironage]

I’d make a good effort to be there. It would only depend on my work schedule.

[Butsu]

Make it a print-exchange event. Come with your print, go home with someone else's.
