I would definitively consider going.<br /><br />I saw at least one other poerson mentioning workflow. I think that is really interesting. I would also like to have pros and cons of the different online picture services (e.g. flickr, zooomr, shutterfly). I think this sounds fantastic! I would definitively consider going.

I've never been west-would likely extend my stay beyond the meetup. Keep us posted. Taking it to different locations annually would be very cool. Surely Canon and Nikon could sponsor some of it.

I think this is a great idea. For a newbie like me to be able to walk around town with great photographers, this is a once in a lifetime (or perhaps once in a year) opportunity.

I wouldn’t like the idea of being taken around on a photographers group tour, even if it’s probably a great way to stay toghether and know a different city, let’s face it, you can’t come to a site you don’t know at all, and pretend to shoot something good in a given time… and “good” for me means any picture with some character.
I think most of the people involved in this conference would be photographers at some level, pro or amateur, so that anyone of us, I’m sure, all ready has a library of meaningful photographs.
So why don’t we concentrate instead on post production work, all toghether in a room with a mac :-) , working on the material we all ready have (raw photography seems created just for this kind of gatherings, and I find the meaning of “post-production” profoundly different when it comes to raw pics… don’t you)?

There’s a lot to be said, and shared, about translating photography feelings and atmospheres into a picture, through adobe an aperture ect.

I would also like to suggest to have a more informal and more partecipating structure, something like the barcamp setting, rather than a traditional conference setting, where you have an active member and all the others only ask conventional questions…

Week days would work better for me than week-ends, but the trip for me woulod be so long, that it doesn’t really matter for me.

Come on Thomas, make it happend, it’s going to be really great!

There area number of different photo groups on meetup.com from bay area that could also be pulled into this mix. I'm local to the bay area and would be willing to help coordinate! I might even be able to help with the sponsorship... Awesome idea! There area number of different photo groups on meetup.com from bay area that could also be pulled into this mix.

Having a really, really big one would almost be an excuse to go in and of itself ... multiple locations would be a recurring draw (since the location is a conference attendee of its own).<br /><br />-/\/ Pardon the flickr reference, but it sounds like a sflickr meetup on crack :) Which I’m always up for, if I’m in the neighborhood (which I’m not usually, living in another state and all).
