Photostock 2011 - It's Baaaack...

silke s · Jan 17, 2011

Silke and I are planning on inviting a model to photostock, she has been working for several years and is very dependable and professional. We would be willing to share her with other photographers that are interested, please let me know if interested so she can put together a schedule.
I am sure she would give us a reasonable rate if she gets booked for one full day or longer, so she can set off traveling costs.

Great idea Dan. She seems to be a good model to work with, and she's in the right location too.

Booked a room for Heidi and I. We'll be arriving a day early after roaming around the UP for a few days, making sure we are fresh after a long drive.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everybody again!

At Jeff Bannow's suggestion I contacted Petosky State Park about their group campground. I was told the group campground is for use by youth groups, church groups, etc. I told them that many of us act as childish as possible, and we were all members of a religion of sorts, but I failed to convince anyone.

But Petosky State Park is still the Official Campground of Photostock 2011!

It was worth a try - thanks Dan! Eva & I will be camping there, as will Dan & Silke. It's going to be a happenin' place.

At the state park, are more people camping at the Dunes or Tannery campground? Does anyone know which of these is likely to be noisier?

Who me? I am the most quiet and shy guy that you will ever know. Well, except when I accidentally mistake red wine for grape Kool-Aid...

Anyway, given the time of year I suspect that the campground will be pretty busy, especially on the weekend and it won't make much difference. But I will bet that when 10PM rolls around, campground staff monitor the noise level for people who have overindulged on Kool-Aid.

In looking at the two campground maps,

http://www.midnrreservations.com/ParkCampMapDisplay.aspx?CID=64
it seems that the Dunes campground has fewer spaces and are spaced more widely apart, so why don't we go for that one, maybe the campsites around the bottom end of the loop, 60-69? You can make reservations here:

Right now the entire campground is open on the Photostock dates, so book early to get a prime spot!

And we just did! Eva, myself, Dan & Silke Seybold will be staying on site #63 starting on the night of the 22nd. Hope to be surrounded by Photostockers.

I've got #62, so everyone who is going to camp book around us. That is, unless you believe the awful rumors...or as he would write, "rumours," that Tom Overton is spreading about me, then you might want to find a new campground!

Charlie Wheelihan · Jan 22, 2011

Out of curiosity, for those camping, how many are in tents?

Jeff Bannow · Jan 22, 2011

Dan & Silke will be in a tent, Eva & I will be in that little camper you saw in our garage.

Dan Henderson · Jan 22, 2011

I am a tent camper, Charlie. For the record, almost all of us at Photostock I camped in tents. Join us!

Charlie Wheelihan · Jan 23, 2011

Cool, I just didn't want to be the only one in a tent. It was the "Dunes" campground right? I just booked site 61.

That's the right place. The other campground has numbers in the 80-160 range.

Looks like we'll be neighbors Charlie!

Charlie Wheelihan · Jan 23, 2011

Yeah we will be neighbors, hope you don't mind!!

Tell Silke when you see her I will roast up a bunch of fresh coffee to bring along...

That sounds like a great idea - I don't normally drink coffee and even I thought it was fantastic.

Toffle · Jan 23, 2011

I do drink coffee, and I can attest that Charlie's roast is superb!

Charlie Wheelihan · Jan 23, 2011

Thanks, I am pleased you all enjoyed it. I will bring PLENTY.

First Newsletter Soon

Great to see the camping plans coming together. I might have to pitch a tent!

I'm going to be sending out the first newsletter soon to all those that have registered so far. We're now well over 30 strong! I've heard from the Birchwood and they said they've been getting reservations already. Thanks to everyone as I know what a good feeling it is for them to know everyone is coming.

I've spoken to Dan Henderson and he was kind enough to offer his leadership of a group back up into the UP on Friday of the event. He mentioned Taquamenon Falls, Whitefish Point, and the Crisp Point lighthouse as being among the stops, but as everything Photostock, whatever happens... I'll be mentioning this and more in the newsletter, so if you haven't already signed-up, now is a good time so you won't miss any of the newsletters.

Looking forward!

I will bring some of my home-roast and we can have a coffee-tasting party.

I can attest that Dan does a great U.P. photo tour. Eva & I tagged along a few years ago and it was a blast.

BirgerA · Jan 25, 2011

I don't think I'll be able to make it this year, as it's a bit out of the way when we're visiting my in-laws up north.

Hopefully there will be another opportunity later.

Do your in-laws like to camp, Birger?

It was great to meet you when you did make it, Birger. I still enjoy the print!
