View Camera Conference

[Robert Brummitt]

Hi Steve,

I'd also love to attend but, as Andrew said, that's a long ways away from here (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.)

In a previous thread, there were questions/discussion about holding a View Camera Conference in Portland, Oregon.

Is there any real chance for that to happen in the near future?

Thanks

Cheers

Well, I couldn't have asked for a better deal. Two hours away and Shelby Lee Adams. As I said when the idea was kicked around: I'm in.

By the way, there's many many hotels on the outer rim of the major interstate coming in to Louisville. The Kentucky Press Photographers Association has probably used them all. Also, look to hotels in Jeffersonville, In, right across the river.

Hi Robert,

Gads, I'm sorry I didn't see this posting until just today... so much for attending this year. Hope you had great success with it.

Will you be hosting it next year again?

Thank you.

Cheers

[Robert Brummitt]

We are planning a second Fanfaire for the same time next year. I'm working on getting some of the same photographers and some different names. We're having different panel discussions and more. We're including color photography. I'll be posting as I get things in a final form.
This last Fanfaire was a great success in that many of the folks who attended got to see lots of wonderful work. I had some tell me that this was the shot in the arm for their personal photography. I hope that you will come next time.

[Kirk Gittings]

I opened up this thread to see what was the latest happening with the VC conference and find a disscussion about the Portland Fanfair! You guys should move your discussion about the Portland event to another thread. It strikes me as inappropriate to hijack an "announcement" thread by discussing a completely separate and unrelated event. Am I wrong about this?

[Kirk Gittings]

Having said that......I can't wait for the Louisville VC Conference! It is by far one of my favorite events every year and this one is looking like a memorable one. Hope to see many of you there.
