That's my understanding. It's now a informal meeting called photostock going rogue. See the link below. I was dissapointed in the cancelation, as this was the first year I could make it. Too bad that Bill had to cancel, but sometimes you get too much on your plate, often put there by others. Something has to give.
(there was a url link here which no longer exists)
Looks like it will just be a friendly get-together for talk, photography and a few adult beverages. No workshops or lectures. Sounds like fun to me, and I intend to get there for a couple of days at least.
Catherine, grab a camera or two and some film, and come along. You should enjoy!
