Really hope I can make it out to this. If not I'll just have to make it happen for sure in the fall. I love opportunities like this one, they can be very rewarding creatively. ^.^

We would love to have you attend. We have some very creative photographers attend. If you need a ride, we have several people come from your area.

This shoot has interested me for a few years, but I was never able to make it there. Serious question. I see several Photographers posting they are going. How many Models are actually attending? It would be nice to see a list!

I'm really interested in joining for a second time. My first experience was great. Hoping I can make it this year.

If there are any models who are interested in working together, feel free to shoot me a message or reply here.

The official list is in the OP.  It contains the names of people that have actually sent in their money.  We have learned by sad experience that without $ commitment, only about 1/2 of the models that say they are coming actually show up. We had several photographers flake as well, but the percentage is smaller.

There is also an event page on FB that shows 26 people going and 140 interested, but those numbers don't really mean much.  A few of them have posted that they were sending their check in, so the official list should be growing soon.  Generally, we end up with 10-15 each of models and photographers. 

We are expecting 2 MUA's as well.  MUA's are free, so there is no check to receive from them.

We never have less than 30 people. Usually several show up at the last minute without schedules. No one is ever sitting around unless they want to be.

I have sent Jim a message through Facebook inquiring about the remaining cabin(s).

DestinyRed (MM# 1910041) and I are making plans to attend this event.

Question on the cabins, it says the $185 covers your event fee, is that for just one person?

Yes, that is for one person. Each additional person is $25.

I have one cabin left and 2 people inquiring about it plus you. I will have an answer on it in 2-3 days.

THE LAST CABIN IS RENTED.

For those that will be there Friday and/or Sat. night for dinner and would like to potluck, please let me know what you would like to bring.  If you haven't decided what to bring, at least let me know how many will be there so that we can plan how much of the main course we will need.

Last spring, about 1/3 of the people didn't tell us they would be there for dinner and we ran short on pork steak.  Last fall, I tried to just take a guess and spent money on way too much.  It isn't that tough to say "Hey, I'll be there for dinner Friday, Saturday or both nights.

I will keep an updated list of who is bringing what on my post right below Jim's OP.


Potluck for Friday.  Who is bringing what?

Spaghetti



Potluck for Saturday.  Who is bringing what:

Mesquite pork steaks or ribs. -   All Yours Photo

I sent a private message on 3-25 asking for further information, but never received a response.

I have always wanted to attend this event but couldn't due to my work schedule. Now I am retired but that came with health issues, namely difficulty walking very far or on irregular surfaces due to problems with my legs, feet, and ankles. I walk with a cane and that may be permanent. This time last year I was using a walker, so I am somewhat better but this will probably be a lifelong issue according to my doctors. However I am still very interested in modelling and intend to continue in the future within my limitations and with those interested in working with a very different model. I am only doing fully naked work, and have no further interest in posing with any clothing on. Outdoor work has always been one of my favorites and I'd like to get some new stuff to update my portfolio with people I haven't worked with in the past.

I know I can't come to the event in May but am still hoping to be able to in the future. What I would like to know, is how difficult the walking is to get to the best scenic sites, both the distance involved and the terrain? Getting into water, or climbing onto rocks or other things would likely be out of the question.

If I am able to make this happen in the future, I would be travelling with a photographer (another long time MM member who hasn't attended before either) and in addition to shooting together, both of us would want to work with others enough times to make the trip worthwhile. One of the main reasons for doing this is for me to have access to the outdoor scenic settings and to work with other photographers who are new to me. We are not cabin/cottage types of people, so I wonder if there are any hotels nearby that we would be able to stay in? 

Any information you could provide would be helpful. Thanks smile

My Name is Al Fess a seasoned (old) pro photographer from Cleveland, Ohio. This will be my third experience coming to the Hocking Hills event and the wonderful job that Jim, Sharon and Jane do to put this event on is something that everyone should experience. They allow us photographers and model to invade their property and give a warm welcome to us all.

I will be working with and bringing two models. Jolene Jojo (aks:Margaret) Gabor and Jennifer O'Connor.

I only shoot nudes but during our session I am always willing to shoot a couple of clothed images or nudes where no nipples or labia is showing so you can post on IG & FB.
.Don't be shy let's talk and see if we can create some art.

I will also be bringing Jennifer O'Connor, Model to Hocking Hills. Jennifer is okay with nudes and a variety of genres. She does not have Model Mayham, her are a few images that she sent me.
I just photographed Jennifer for the first time last Saturday and she is great to work with. She loves fetish and anything unusual.

One week from tomorrow!!

For all of the people coming for the first time, don't count on your phone or GPS to get there.  Reception on both can be spotty in the hills.  Print our directions before you leave home.  Put Jim's number in your phone so that if you do happen to get lost, find a safe place to park near the top of a hill so that you can get a signal and call him.

For everyone except maybe a couple of the local folks, you will come on Rt. 33.  From there:

Take the County Hwy-33A/OH-180 exit toward Laurelville.

Then 0.23 miles
Turn south onto Chieftain Dr/OH-180/County Hwy-33A. Continue to follow OH-180.

Then 3.81 miles
Turn slight left onto State Route 678/OH-678.

Then 1.32 miles
Turn left onto Kreashbaum Rd/County Hwy-9.

Then 0.11 miles
Take the 1st left onto Starr Route Rd/County Hwy-4 (use caution.Kreashbaum Rd. curves to the right at this point, so it is hard to see oncoming traffic).

If you reach Rockyfork Rd you've gone about 0.6 miles too far

Then 0.08 miles

25791 Starr Route Rd, Rockbridge, OH 43149-9622, 25791 STARR ROUTE RD is on the right.
There is a sign over the driveway that says "Chandler's Enchanted Acres".

For the NW Ohio and MI folks coming down.

I-75 South in Detroit is CLOSED from Exit 43 to Exit 36.   Official detour is I-94 West to I-275 South (adds about 20 miles to your trip).

I-75 construction from the I-280 interchange to the I-475 interchange in Toledo is still on.  Two narrow lanes each way.  Slow down isn't bad except at rush hour.

The interchanges at I-75/I-280 and at US 23/I-475 have been redone.  GPS systems are likely not updated yet.  Follow the signs, not your GPS.

I-75 construction around downtown Toledo is finished.

I-75 construction between Toledo and Findlay is finished.

There is still construction on I-75 in Findlay, a couple of miles of two narrow lanes each way just before you turn onto Rt. 15 and one lane each way just after you turn off of I-75.  Not much of a slow down except at rush hour.

There are a few places on US 23 with construction closing one lane for a few miles. Usually not much of a slow down.

If you want to avoid the congestion, traffic lights and up & down speed limits on US 23 through Delaware, scroll back to an earlier post I made.

Many are on Facebook. The only ones listed on here are the ones that have paid. There are several that say they are coming but I do not put them on this forum until I get their money.

Several photographers are bring models with them that aren't on this page. Someone called this morning wanting to overnight a check for him and a model but I told them at this late date to pay when they get here.

Very few people have ever come to this shoot and not had enough to do. Many people show up on the day of the shoot and pay and don't have a schedule. You can usually be as busy as you want to be.

Folks:

This is what I have for head count for the potlucks Friday and Saturday nights for dinner.  Some of this is guess work.

If you are on this list but not joining in the potluck, let me know. 

If you are going to be there for the potluck, but aren't on this list, let me know.

If you know what you are bringing and it isn't on this list, let me know.

I am not assigning things to bring.  You all know what makes up a meal.  Pick something and bring it. If you are challenged as a gourmet, bring something simple (or store bought).

POTLUCKS,   Who is bringing what?  If everyone brings something, we should be good for both meals.

Cleveland area folks:

Starting today, there is road construction on I-71.  The southbound left lane is closed from MM 191.4 to MM186.  I hit it at about 5:00 PM, had a 1/2 mile back up that took about 20 minutes to get through.  My coworker hit it at 5:30 and had a 1 1/2 mile back up.  I don't know how long it took him to get through.
