My arrival back in town this weekend heralds the planning stages of a massive photo excursion at some point in the next month or two.
What do I envision? Everyone who is, or wants to be, comfortable behind their camera, and everyone who is comfortable in front of a camera, going out to some reasonably accessible location and spending a couple hours taking photos, learning from each other, and generally building the most kick-ass collection of people photos one could ever imagine.
It can be as simple or as complicated as people want. I see no reason why we can't have cellphone-camera artists working beside DSLR shooters.
I want people to start contacting me with dates and times they are free and interested. Evenings, weekends, whatever. Let me know and I'll start compiling a list of possible days. The more people that come, the better.
Know someone who doesn't do the camera thing but loves to be in photos, bring them too. We need models!
I'm also open for location ideas.

I am not sure of my work schedule for next month, but Sundays and Monday nights I'm for sure available. I am definitely not available Monday days, and Wednesdays.
As far as location, I love Steven Ave, it allows for a lot of different backgrounds. Prince's Island Park might be good too, or even Edworthy Park.
Faced with the reality of a return to full-time desk-jockeying (the bile literally rises at the thought), I guarantee that it won't be happening during the day on a weekday. Evenings and weekends are my window, and likely everyone else's, so I intend to work around that.
Stephen Avenue is nice except it is only so long and you can spend a good portion of your time homeless-dodging (ya, criticize me all you want, I've been chased by more than enough drunk native guys).
Princes' Island, Edworthy, or maybe even Confederation would be nice. Each offers a different style of background. Depends what is desired by the group.
