Good news and bad news....

Good news; I finally heard back from OSR and November 14th is out.  I am checking in to November 28th and December 5th, depending on what they say about heat.  Other wise I am looking at March 2010.

Bad News; They may want $150 per photographer in addition to rental fee.  Let me know if you guys are still interested.

sweet jesus.

I'll need to scrounge together some dinero to afford it but I'm still down.. wait, so how much for photogs and how much for models?

If we wait til next year, that would suck but traveling all the way to Ohio in the snowy season would suck harder. I'm down for anything but if it's in March, I certainly wouldn't bitch  big_smile

Thanks Linda for the heads up!

What about models? Can we all pull together and pay a small fee so that together we can make up the balance together? I think there are many of us interested and I know I am not against chipping in to help the photographers out as well.....

Just a suggestion. Hope I don't upset other models or anything.....

A bargain if that means opening the entire facility to our use.

Not worth it if they're only including their 3 'rental areas'.

IMO.

Sorry guys, I'm out.  I'm against freezing and as good as the location is I can't see paying that for a groupshoot.  Sorry!

I asked if there was heat if we had it this year.  As I understand it I think the $150 would be on top of the rental fee for the 3 inside areas and the grounds.

so to be clear are you saying the $150 would be paid by each photographer, but then there would still be another charge for the group shoot itself?

My understanding from the email I reseved from OSR is....
yes each photographer would be charge $150 and there would be an additional fee to rent the grounds and building for 8 hours the day of the shoot.

Right now we are trying to figure out how to cover both fees and still make it worth while.  Also I think we are leaning towards a march 2010 date.

To the photographers:  If you split the $150 between you and models, Assists, ect would be fine with me.  Just have to balance the number of models and Photogs and cover all cost.

I don't mean to be presumptive about this, but have you considered leveraging the rate which ESP gave you last year against them?  For more space in a more famous location?  Just a thought, if only as a last measure when all else seems lost.

I will see if I can work with them for one price for all just to make easier and more fair for everyone.
Stopping by there tomorrow.

Please read my first post I have updated it and things are a go for this event.  I will post a final price once I hear back from OSR if there is a limit on the number of people.
Right now I am planning for 100-200 people.  Just like before we will be excepting payment through paypal, if you can not pay through paypal we will have our mailing address on the group shoot website.  You can mail a check or M/O.

I am so psyched for this I can not wait to see new and old faces and friends.

Since we have a kitchen we can do a much better meal then take out pizza like last time.  Our first group shoot we made chili soup and fajitas. Or home made pizza, Williams BBQ chicken pizza is to die for. 
Maybe we can do something like that again.  Any thoughts on what you may like to eat let me know.

I am hoping we do not have a cap on the amount of people so we don't have to turn away so many last minute photogs and models like last time.  This time there will plenty of room for more then 100 guest total.
