NE OH Gathering, September 17 – 19, 2010
We just had a great gathering in July. It must be time to plan another. It is time to think of shooting film, gathering together to see spring and summer’s work, climbing ledges, walking the OH & Erie Canal, photographing waterfalls and having group fun at a gathering of like minded friends and hopefully new faces.
My wife Dolly, the girls two blond lady Labrador Retrievers and I would like to invite you to our home for a photography gathering starting about 5 PM Friday, September 17, Saturday, September 18 and Sunday, September 19th. We have been doing this, 5-6 times a year, for about two years with attendance ranging from 10-25 photographers. It has been a blast for us. I hope you have enjoyed it as much. For more information about the flavor of these events read the threads on the just completed May and July, 2010 event.

The following is boiler plate based on earlier experiences.
Available options we have enjoyed before will be in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park,

Within five miles:

Buttermilk Falls http://gowaterfalling.com/waterfalls...milkCUVA.shtml
Brandywine Falls http://gowaterfalling.com/waterfalls/brandywine.shtml

Several new visitors were interested in the OH Turnpike bridge over the Cuyahoga Valley National Park http://wiki.worldflicks.org/ohio_tur...ga_river.html#
and the three 19th century churches in the scenic little town of Peninsula, OH.
If nature/landscape is not your thing, Cleveland, the flats, where it is difficult to take a picture with less than three bridges, and five is more likely, awaits you.
A photography exhibit several of us have enjoyed will be at the Akron Art Museum.
“Detroit Disassembled: Photographs by Andrew Moore”
http://www.akronartmuseum.org/exhibi....php?unid=1499
The event will be in Bath, Ohio, between Cleveland and Akron, five miles south of the Ohio Turnpike and Route I-77, meeting at a private home, two miles from the edge of the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. For a rough estimate of distance use zip 44286 in Mapquest.com. If some visitors want to camp by the garden, they are most welcome. Others can stay at local motels. The Hampton Inn, Richfield, OH (1 800 Hampton) at the OH Turnpike entrance and intersection with I-77, about five miles away is the most popular.
Come as early as Friday, 5:00 PM. We usually have coffee & rolls each morning at 10:00 AM to allow for early shooters and late sleepers. We gather again about 5:00 PM to show prints, tell lies and go out to dinner. Sunset shooting is available, but previously showing prints and telling stories prevailed. While you are here the Lady Labradors will entertain with their splashing stick routines. One regular will try to convince you that bacon ice cream is a bit of heaven. There is an orchard-home made ice cream business near by. When we learn how many are coming we can order a porta potty if there are enough to pay for it by contribution ($112). Our home stumbles through on an ancient septic system and well so we must ask you to endure this porta potty inconvenience.
We are trying to have a loose organizational shell under which all cats may be comfortably herded. The plan will evolve until the majority is happy and the protesters fall asleep.
All film shooters are welcome. Who is interested in coming? What information is needed?
If you have not been here before please PM me with name, address, phone, email and emergency contact in case you do something you shouldn’t have. I will return with directions.
Welcome to the Powers’ house.
Hosts, John & Dolly Powers
Labradors: Cindy and Savannah

Coinciding with this gathering are some very interesting and photogenic events.
There will be two steam engines pulling variously scheduled trains through the park that weekend, http://cvsr.com/steam-in-the-valley.aspx
“The Viscose Company #6 is a 1925, Baldwin-built, coal-fired 0-4-0 saddle tank steam engine and comes to CVSR from New York.
The Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 Berkshire No. 765. This is the historic steam locomotive No. 765: a high-stepping, fourteen wheeled magnificent machine that stands 15 feet tall, weighs 404 tons, and goes over 60 miles an hour, restored to the way it looked and sounded when it was built by the Lima Locomotive Works in 1944. This engine is the largest operating steam locomotive east of the Mississippi, and is the pride of the Fort Wayne Railroad Historical Society. There are several excursions and special events with these great engines “
The Glenmore Country Club in Canton, about half an hour south of here will have the 16th annual gathering of significant cars
featuring Historic Motorcars of Cleveland, Cars of Giotto Bizzarrini - and Duesenberg!
September 17 - 19, 2010 http://www.glenmoorgathering.com/2010-Preview.html
Weather permitting we should be starting the Fall Color in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.

Good idea. The Museum Bookstore is out. Both they and Amazon said an minimum of a month delivery. That seems odd for a new book.

Andrew said the publisher is already sold out. Not sure if they'll be doing another printing either.
