We talked with OSR yesterday and have wonderful news. 

Those of you that were at the ESP shoot are going to be a psyched as we are.  We will have o much more space to work with; the only ones in the building the day of the shoot and staff is there is we need help but keeps to themselves.  We will post a map and pictures on the website asap.  We have 3 heated areas, and lots of space to shoot, prep, and eat. 

Good thing we went o to because the food will be Fajitas due to no ovens for pizza. smile

Also they are renovating a new wing and it will be finished in November, and a gorgeous place to shoot in.

Also we found out why there can be no pictures taken in the back yard not even from inside the building.  There is a in use prison behind them and another not from that.

Awesome! Thank you both for setting this up. I'm totally looking forward to it. I think we will have a small caravan coming from WDC.  Please let me know when you're taking reservations.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any cheap hotels in the area (I suppose I can look, but it'd be awesome if someone knew off the top of their heads) or have a place for a few of us to stay? That'd be excellent, as we're coming from the NH/MA area.

There is a link on OSR website that lists hotels, not familiar with prices.

Be careful where you stay in Mansfield.  I would suggest not picking a hotel just based on price.  neutral  I'm from that area.

I'm up at Mid Ohio on a regular basis.  I've stayed at a couple hotels right off 71 at 97, one exit south of Mansfield.  They have cheaper ones at the same exit, I hear they aren't bad.

I watched Shawshank Redemption last night, it gives a great view and feel for the reformatory.  Even though they filmed parts of the movie in other locations 3/4 of the movie is the prison.  Even though the cell blocks shown in the movie where build and filmed in a local warehouse it does look like that at OSR.

Also this place is haunted but we were told this has been a very quite year.  But during other years you are scared to walk into the place.  Maybe next year there will be a lot of activity.  I will have to pack my ghost detector meter.  lol

If you know you are planning on coming to the group shoot, you can start sending in the money.  A few people already have sent in their entry fee.  The first $200 will be for reserving the date and placing it on the calendar.  William and I are working on finalizing all plans by the end of September; menu, time to set up and starting shoot hours.  So that way people can start booking as soon as they feel comfortable doing so.

Ohio Bat Girl-
That info definitely helps, thanks so much!

I'll be looking to shoot about 8 people that day...I know it's MONTHS away, but I'd love to shoot some ideas back and forth with some of you to have some solid material (ideas/wardrobe/poses/etc) before the actual shoot day, so I'm inviting anyone who's interested in collaborating to contact me.

It shall be good times.

We're getting the ball rolling early with this one so that people have time to put together costumes, etc.  It's shaping up to be a wonderful group shoot!

Hey everyone! I was sent the info for this event by a friend of mine, asking if I'd be interested.  I read through all of the posts here and it sounds like a lot of fun with several great people.  However, I was a bit confused about the price.  Is the price for the shoot an even $35 or will I need to put in a photographer's shooting fee of $150 in addition to the entry fee?

Thanks everyone!  I'd love to meet all of you.

Those that have been placed on the list are those that have sent in payment.  As soon as payment is received you will be placed on the list.

I am not sure is William is going to post a tentative list or not, things got confusing last time with people looking at the wrong list.

Anyone is welcome but each person must pay the $35 entry fee; which covers event fee, food and drink for the day.

Is anyone coming out from the MD/DC/VA area that would like to carpool?
I think that's the only way I can get out there unless I get paying work in the area to offset the price of transport.

I am sure more people will be sending in payment soon. I know it is several months away but space will fill up fast. Also I think many would like to have plenty of time to work out incrediable shoot ideas.

Okay, okay... I've changed my mind about doing a "tentative" list.  I was trying to avoid it due to the confusion it causes, but I think we need one to demonstrate just how much interest there is in the event.  So... with that in mind... please post to this thread or email me if you want to be listed as tentative.

Perhaps we can get the ball rolling and make the required deposit before the end of September!

As of right now I want to come, it is a bit far in advance so I would have to make sure closer to the date.
But yeah, we can carpool if you like. Where are you located?
