This will be a great event with this many people participating. It will also be a great place to look at a lot of equipment, all the way up to ULF cameras and lenses. - AND have a great time, learn a lot from one another, and hopefully shoot a few good shots!

So, pack your gear and come to Mt. Shasta!

Sounds great Aggie, what did you learn? BTW, did that 60 bottles of wine have corks or screw on caps? enquiring minds want to drink...wait...know!

Just got back from this workshop. I left a day early, not due to the information or the fun, but running out of migraine meds.
... Besides the USA distributor for Durst is Danish, need I say more about quality people?

Just out of curiousity, Aggie, what type of migraine are you afflicted with? I have noticed an unusual incidence of "Opthalamic" (sp?) migraines among those I am involved with in "Fine Art" photography. Must go along with the territory. Usually these manifest themselves as the first part, or "aura" of a classic migraine. Fifteen minutes or so of visual disturbances -- and all then returns to normal. I visited my physician - he said he could prescribe Imitrex, which at $80 a shot would probably take twenty minutes or so to work.

Have you identified a "trigger"? Mine seems to be anything containing aspertane (NutriSweet). I know a marvelous Fine Art photographer who is triggered by orange or lemon peel oils ... all she has to do is strip the peel of an orange with her fingernails, and she will be out of commision for a day or more, with a full-blown classic migraine.

Back to the topic... Count me in as a subscriber as well. I think you could find enough **First Rate** material in the "Travelling Portfolio" to "do" the first - or a couple of - editions.

As for the Danes - an *intersting* article could be the "Spiral Steeple" archetechture in Copenhaven.

I have the classic migraines. ... I hate drugs and I hate scapels. it is the matter of what I am willing to live with.

Sheesh!! And I was feeling sorry for myself when I had to pull to the side of the road and wait one of these things out for fifteen minutes or so ... once every two or three months.

I have been "into" herbology lately - and I haven't had an Opthalamic Migraine for a long time, come to think of it. I've been using two spices on my food: turmeric and sage.

Aggie, I don't think this is any help but I'm gonna throw it out here. My wife had migranes every month for years and every month they would get worse lasting a day and a 1/2 to 2 days docters tried everything(drugs) nothing worked and it was always that time of the month. We discovered 2 things that have virtually eliminated here migranes and their so simple lots of iron laden vegetables and cooked lentals, the other thing if interested we can pm each other. Karen had these horrible migranes for 18 years every month. now, she's had 1 miner one this year. She now eats spinach in everything on everything every day~!!! It's Magic
