I urge any of you in the NYC/Long Island area to attend if possible.
Mr. Schumacher, a professional graphic artist and excellent photographer,
always puts on a very interesting program. Be sure to check out his website:

I'm used to being outnumbered by the digital crowd, but this time was quite disheartening.
Out of approximately 30 attendees I was the only photographer still using film.
Even the presenter has now gone primarily digital.

Sure the presentation offered compelling images and some useful information,
but somehow this time I felt *very* out of place...

Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. Maybe next time.

It seems like nature photography workshops are where I'm most likely to be the only film shooter, though there were quite a few APUG types and other film photographers at the last JBNWR event that you announced.
