Film Photography Retreat

[WayneStevenson]

I have had this thought in the back of my mind since Ilford was asking those of us who had darkrooms, if we would make them available for the public awhile back. And any time I go on vacation with my family and my urge to constantly peer through a ground glass of any type has to take a back seat to quality family time.

Have you ever wanted to go on a photographic retreat to some sort of resort with full access to on-site professional darkroom, on-site supplies, studio, workshops, scenic photo tours, etc? And maybe something for the wife and kids to do? Heh.

Have you ever wanted to go on a photographic retreat to some sort of resort with full access to on-site professional darkroom,

No. I just mail my exposed slides back to a lab in my country to have them developed and mailed to my mailbox at home. Very convenient.

on-site supplies,

I've got everything with me if I travel, no need for a shopping spree.

studio

No, I never need a studio.

workshops

Hm, why a workshop during my vacation or travel?

scenic photo tours, etc?

I plan the tours myself prior to the travel.

And maybe something for the wife and kids to do?

I'm not married and without kids, pets, etc. (Unfortunately). But if I would be married, I wouldn't want to bother my family with my stuff.

Toyo,

Just marry another photographer, especially one who shares your joy in travel.

Today I got an order from Photography Formulary, with the order was a workshop flier sponsored by Freestyle. Look this up http://www.workshopsinmt.com/

That's all I know, but it sounds great.

I cannot attend.

"I've got everything with me if I travel, no need for a shopping spree."

Heh. So do I. I always hate being so over-loaded. And I always over-pack.

"why a workshop during my vacation or travel?"

Different strokes for different folks.

Thanks Randy. That's awesome.

This is a great time if you can go.

And I would love to be able to find the time to go to a LF-specific workshop. It just isn't always easy to carve out the right time on our schedule.

I did take a class at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Montana in 2006. It was small format, but it was a lot of fun.

Now if someone would run a photo workshop with side stuff for husbands and kids, that might sell here. Or at least kids.
