SO...do you all ever actually meet up?

As a new user, I am just wondering if the regional groups are actually clubs with meetings and such; kind of like a car club. with a monthly meeting, newsletter, etc.

If not, what do you all think about such an idea? There are probably enough of us in the L.A. area to get something together every now and then.

Ya it would be nice to be able to collaborate with other photographers.

Here in New England we get together on an informal basis. If someone has a place to photograph they would like to share with others they post a date, time & place in the Regional forums. All it takes is for one person to have the fortitude to get the ball rolling. I like to think that we have made some very good friends up here in Noo Ingland!!

Yup, the New England crew is pretty good with that. I miss that.

I wish there were more of us in western PA to meet up.

2F/2F,

There are number of us LF / ULF users in the LA area that get together occasionally. Hugo Zhang puts on the Chamonix Shoot-Outs every once in a while so keep an eye out for them. The last was about a month ago in Orange County where we did a morning of figure shooting. If you want to get something going with the "big camera people", just put a notice proposing a time/place and we'll start coming out of the woodwork. You can also check out things over on the Large Format Forum as well. Even if you don't shoot Large Format, you're still welcome - maybe we can covert you.

That's great that you guys are open to us smaller format people. I actually really want to learn LF so I would jump at the chance to tag along even if I'm only using my 645. I hope to make the plunge soon enough, it's just a matter of finding a reasonable set up that's not too expensive starting out...

I'll keep in eye out for you guys.
