per_volquartz1 Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 It is my estimate that we were at least 25 people at the Free JoshuaTree workshop - many people kept on coming during the Saturday NightFree taco dinner - so I do not have an exact count! The next Free Workshop will be along the Oregon Coast, May 2 - May 9! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_ito Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 Thanks Per and Harvey (Roger) for all your hard work in planning this great event. I had a blast sitting around talking with all you guys and being inspired by the great portfolios that we saw. The tacos were good too! Thanks again and I look forward to attending more workshops this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_verbryck Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 This was a great opportunity to meet and talk with others doing large format photography. I learned a great deal and will continue to do so at more workshops. It was so interesting to see all the different cameras and approaches that people out there using and doing respectively. I was excited to see so many platinum prints and learn more about the process from those actually engaged in it. Per is a weath of knowledge and answered every question to everyone's satisfaction. The fact that he puts on these workshops for free is evidence enough that he really cares about large format and its continued existence. He also is not a half bad photographer in his own right(fantastic stuff Per). Now that I looked through an 8x10 it may be all over for me although I still do not know if I could really carry one around. So many shared thier work that it was like going to a gallery running 10-20 shows at once. I would encourage anyone interested in photography to keep an eye out for any of his future events.Cheers George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle git Posted February 2, 2004 Share Posted February 2, 2004 I'd just like to chime in and say I had a blast - I was one of the least experienced photographers there, and this was the first time I'd ever hung out with photographers - everyone was very friendly and more than happy to answer all my dumb questions. The standard of the prints shown by the other photographers attending where inspiring to say the least. If you haven't been to one of these workshops - it's WELL worth the time and effort. Special thanks to Per and Harvey for taking a look at my transparencies - the critique was extremely usefull and I feel I really learned alot from talking with them - the experience has definately helped to shake me out of a rut and start thinking about my photography in a completely different way. Oh yea - and the taco's rocked :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael gordon httpwww Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Per and Harvey: as 'they' say', you guys are gentlemen and scholars. Thank you for putting these free shops on, and for promoting large format photography. Perhaps the greatest thing I came away with was the list of Philosophical Nuggets :) "Is it possible to be totally partial?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael erlich Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 My thanks to Per and Harvey for putting on a fine workshop. Even though my time there was limited, I came away with some good tips and a good experience. And some fine 4x5 photos of a beautiful park!

dave_henry1 Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Ditto all above. I'm just getting back to the office after spending the rest of the week after the workshop in Death Valley and 395 and continually recalled several of the photographers I met at the gathering. So many talented people in one place was a great experience. A real inspiration. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
