Photostock 2011 - It's Baaaack...

[wildbill]

I heard a rumor that there maybe a UP photostock in October.... Is there any truth to this??

all you can eat pasties? I'm in!

 

[Thomas Bertilsson]

Wish I had more vacation days left! Have a pastie for me, and don't forget to put ketchup on it...

Damn.... You're quick. I only had that up there a couple seconds!

A definite maybe on this. I thought it best to think it through further as far as dates, but the ruins of the Keweenaw Peninsula have been calling me back lately and I thought it could be a good group shoot and party. Still a possibility.... :confused:

Can you tell I miss everyone already?

 

[eclarke]

There is a ton of stuff in Calumet City..Evan

 

[Andrew Moxom]

Well I'm in....if there is an October possibility... Keep us posted!! The Photostock this past June was the highlight of my year so far!! I miss people too!

 

[Jeff Bannow]

October sounds good to me too.

Wish I could be there, I am burning up the rest of my vacation days in August with the Colorado trip. I may take a long weekend this fall to the North Shore of Superior for those interested.

Thanks again to all for the great time I had at this year's Photostock, next year we can have dueling Banjitars Bill

Steve, I think we'll likely just do an MN fall apug trip to the north shore this year.... I know we were thinking about going to the Badlands/Black Hills this fall, but it's a hell of a hike and it's about a 7 or 8 hour drive to there from the Twin Cities. If Gim, and Daniel were coming, they'd lose a day and a half each way at least.... So we'd need to plan for a week long trip.

UP

If there is, I'm in. Where about? I live in southern up (Escanaba) not as fun as Marquette or lake superior. Andrew, if something is happening in oct, I would like to join your group.

 

[bill schwab]

If there is, I'm in. Where about?

It would be great to meet with you.. Looking at Calumet as a base.

 

[Andrew Moxom]

Sweeeeeet!!..

 

[eskyone]

awesome!!!

Looking forward to this!

So... Let's kick around a couple dates here. Looks like I still have a lot of October open so almost any weekend will do. I'm already working on lodging possibilities... Hotel for those that wish that and camping for those that want to rough it. I'm also hoping we can make it a Thursday to Sunday meet due to the distance a lot of people will be traveling. This way we could have a full Friday and Saturday in which to shoot and explore. There's so much there that we could spend a week!

Initially I will throw out the dates of the October 6th - 9th. Traditionally around me in the northern lower, this is the week of peak Autumn colors, however up near Superior, it tends to come a little earlier. Still, I think there will be a lot of color for us if we go this week. Another option is the prior week, but that puts us into the end of September and a little close to my return from Iceland. it also might be a little early for the color as we've had such a warm summer.

Thoughts??? Once we come to an agreement that will help the most, I'll start a thread devoted to the shoot.

Thanks everyone!

October

Bill, I'm for Oct 6 -9th.

 

[Jerry Basierbe]

That sounds good to me.

Jerry

 

[Gim]

Either date is fine with me.

Best,
Jim

 

[bill schwab]

Thanks gentleman! I'll get a few more logistics together and then start a new thread soon.

Looking forward!

Bill

 

[dlin]

Damn, damn, damn. I will be slammed at work around that time. Wish I could join you guys- I know you'll have a great time.

Daniel

 

[Andrew Moxom]

I can likely go October 6th through 9th, but am booked to go up to Gunflint in MN that weekend. I could try and move it, but the weekend after would be my preference 13th through 16th

 

[bill schwab]

...but the weekend after would be my preference 13th through 16th

Anyone else have a problem with the following weekend? The color will be over most likely, but that might not be that important anyway?

 

[Jeff Bannow]

The 6th-9th probably works better for us, but do what you have to Bill.

 

[zsas]

I have lots going on in Oct with work, 99% can't go reguardless of week, the fall is tough no matter the month for me. Will miss you all, have a great time! Andy

 

[Marc Akemann]

I'm interested and either set of dates is okay with me. I may already be up in the Batchawana Bay, Ontario area for some east coast Lk Superior shooting beginning on 9/30.
