Just found this today.  Scanned through the whole thread, I couldn't find the cost associated with this event, free or fee?

I'd love to take part with this event, if it still has room.  I am a low profile and low ego emission photographer from DE. 

Here is what my intention/needs:

1.  Come in Sat and depart Sunday.
2.  Need a place to stay for the nite.  Just a place to set tent will be fine.  I am hardy and don't mind to make love with my propane camp heater all nite long.  As long as i have a place to shower and brush my teeth in the morning.  If there is a nearby hotel will be fine too.

Here is what I can provide for the group:

1.  I will be departing from DE, so I can provide a ride to anyone (non-smoker) along I-95 and I -60 on Sat and Sunday.
2.  I can bring my two strobes, softboxes, wireless remote, reflector stands and all goodies
3.  I will bring one or two bottle of French wines for mine and other's consumption.  I don't like beer but will steal one from other for the nite.
4.  I can sponsor a traveling model with the right look and attitude as long as I have some reasonable exclusive shooting hours with her.

I hope the there is still one more room.  I will do the registration if the signal is GREEN. 

*switches on the GREEN signal*

No fee to attend. I will post your carpool offer once you're registered. I will have 3 crash zones depending on when you want to sleep, I should have enough sleeping bag space for 12. I also have a plenty of tent space in the backyard. Nearby hotels are between $30~$90 a night.

Probably won't need any more strobes unless you have battery to operate them outdoors. All indoor shooting spaces will have strobes already.

No, you just have to show up after the workshop!

You will need some warming up liquid anyway

Thank you.  Email sent. 

I do have 8500 watt generator for outdoor shoot. .  I will bring just my 2 SB800 flashes with stands and umbrellas.  Trek lightly is better .

Any speed traps from DC to Winchester?  or Should I bring my V1?

Well, it's far enough that if you try to throw us out after 4 hours it might get ugly.

A lot of speed traps in Loudoun County (Leesburg/ Rt 7)
Not as much on I-66, but plenty on I-81

RADAR DETECTOR IS ILLEGAL IN VIRGINIA!

Keep your radar detector in a closed compartment. Traffic violation is heavily fined in VA.

Depending on which part of DC you're coming from, I actually recommend taking I-70 west all the way to hagerstown and then take I-81 down to Winchester.

walmart has denied my request to have off for your party, CLT. Sorry

WTF! You gotta be kidding me. To deny us to meet a great artistic mind is outrageous! I'll have to bring snacks and offer a ride to anyone who plans to visit this event.

Yes, I think I will most likely I take I-70 to Frederick.

Sounds like you woke up with the shits that day and need to call out!

1.  Could I assume that all models and photographers attending this event are on a TF/P basis.  The specific terms of TF/P will depend on the individual agreement between model and photographer

2.  Are there any sign up sheet to match models and photographers?  Hunting for models or photographers to wok with will be diffiult at the time of the shoot.  I prefer to line up a few modles before the trip.

3. Are there other photographer willing to sponsor out of towm models.  One model contacted to me, no sure if any other is willing to share to cost?

1. All pictures taken at the event will be considered "journalism". Pictures taken at shooting stations will be considered "open trade", meaning multiple photographers can take anyone one inside the shooting area, and are assumed to send models the pictures and models will assume implied license for using those pictures. All pictures taken in shooting station 3 will be assumed "exclusive trade", meaning no "over-the-shoulder" shooting.

I would encourage that no money exchange hand for any shooting during the event, but I am not going to prohibit it. Tipping the MUA is allowed and understood. Please use the event as an opportunity to meet and network with potential future collaborators.

2. Any shoot arrangements should be done either in this thread or via PM. The host will not play matchmaker for models and photographers.

3. Any individual who are interested in participating but require travel funds should declare right here in the thread. I will list the names of such people in the guest list if the travel is more than 250 miles. Sponsorship can be done by one-on-one basis or I can be the middleman if there are enough interest. Please don't hesitate to spam promote this event to out-of-region people who might not have heard of it.

I did not see any listing of MUA's.  To ensure their participation, I wonder if we can as a group (photographers) come out a fixed $ for each of us to contribute.  I think it is fair.  Their effort is much appreciated.

Please feel free to recruit makeup artists and stylists for the event. I've been relying on the pyramid scheme in regards to invitation.

Hopefully I can make it! I'd really love to go.
Depends. I'd have to travel 4+ hours to get there, and then probably not be able to stay long. I couldn't stay the night, I have a little one. I don't know how it would work out. D:

Bring the little one. There will be other little ones. I'll give you the far end guest suite if you bring the little one to stay the night.

Hey sweetheart, maybe you can ride with us. We are coming from Norfolk. I was debating because of my little one, as well.
