Anyone from Central California?

I escaped from Visalia. There's not much I miss about the place. Fresno is kinda like Detroit, nice is you are into recreational pharmaceuticals, or gang life.

I also am a Visalia refugee. Many people like it there, though.

Another Central Coast resident here. I'm near San Luis Obispo, Los Osos to be exact. Just found APUG a couple days ago.

Welcome! I'm from San Luis Obispo! Do you ever shoot film at Los Osos Oaks? Maybe I'll run into you sometime. What do you typically shoot? Me, it's landscapes/architecture.

Hi Perry,
Thanks for the welcome.
Last time I was at Los Osos Oaks I shot some digital stuff. I'm getting re-acquainted with film with my Minolta XG-7. I have a Bronica ETRS on the way that I'm very excited to start working with. Typically I shoot products for work but my personal projects range from landscapes to portraits. I'm always up for coffee and shop talk if you want to meet up sometime.

I know this thread is old, but I've been living in the Central Valley near Fresno (Lemoore) for about 5 years now and I did a meetup with some photographers a couple of years ago, but it was mainly for digital though I found about some of the guys who had been shooting film there for a while. I wondered if any of them still shoot film. I'm all in with film now and only use digital for vacations with the kids or where digital just seems more feasible.

I live in England and have never been to the U.S, the only thing I know about San Louis Obispo is that Ernie Ball Musicman guitars are made there

If you ever get over to Visalia, there is a show July 1-30 at Arts Visalia with some nice B&W work (as well as digital):
