mike_troxell2 Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Does anyone know of any good LF workshops in the SouthEastern US? Most of the ones I see listed are in the Northern or Western states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted August 12, 2003 Share Posted August 12, 2003 Palm Beach Workshops. Also for a lucky few, Clyde Butcher has one or two a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_ellis3 Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Bruce Barbaum used to conduct a one week Georgia coast workshop based an hour or so from Savannah every year. It was't specifically a "large format" workshop but most everyone used large format cameras and of course that's what he uses. I attended it about six years ago and it was very good. I don't know whether he still conducts it or not, you could check his web site to see (I assume he has a web site, I don't have an address). I've attended Clyde Butcher's two day field workshop in Florida and wasn't very impressed with it though he and his wife are very nice people. If you've never seen scrub pines and palmettos it's o.k. I guess. I don't recall Palm Beach Photographic Workshops sponsoring any large format workshops but again, you could check their web site. They are becoming more and more digital oriented it seems to me. Tillman Crane usually teaches a large format workshop of some sort at the Peters Valley Arts and Crafts Center in New Jersey. It isn't in the southeastern U.S. but it's better than driving to California if you're located in the southeast. I attended the one last year and liked it a lot. The facilities at Peters Valley are kind of funky but they grow on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne_williams Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Mike, I'm in the southeast, also. Maybe if enough of us show interest we can encourage/support the effort to have a workshop in our region. Seems like there were a few of us on the thread that asked where everyone was from.

mike_troxell2 Posted August 13, 2003 Author Share Posted August 13, 2003 Anne, "Maybe if enough of us show interest we can encourage/support the effort to have a workshop in our region" I'd love to get a few LF workshops going in the area. It sometimes seem like there are plenty of LF workshops in every part of the country except the southeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_rhoades Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 Brian, when I saw your above post, "kind of funky but they grow on you" I could not help but remember how you were trying to go over the wall after the first night. By the way I still lust after your wonderful photo of the white blouse on the white door. Regards, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troll Posted August 13, 2003 Share Posted August 13, 2003 The superb LF workshops of Michael Smith and Paula Chamlee are just north of Philadelphia. Sort of "half-way." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry greer Posted August 14, 2003 Share Posted August 14, 2003 Mike, What type of photography? I will be offering a LF field workshop/Tour in the Great Smoky Mountains NP spring 2004. If you are interested in a landscape workshop check out my website. I have not set the dates but will in the coming weeks. www.jerrygreerphotography.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_troxell2 Posted August 14, 2003 Author Share Posted August 14, 2003 Jerry, I do most of my 4x5 work in the Smokies. I live near Chattanooga, TN, about a 2 hour drive to Townsend. I'll send you the other information in a email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anne_williams Posted August 15, 2003 Share Posted August 15, 2003 Mike, I live in Huntsville, AL and am in Chattanooga fairly frequently taking my daughter to her oboe lesson there. I will e-mail Jerry, also to inquire about his workshop. Maybe by the time of the workshop, I'll have a new camera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
