QTR-Quadtone RIP

I wanted to let forum members know that we still have a few open spots in
this year's Golden Trout Photo Workshop.  Roy Harrington and I will be the
nominal leaders, but there are so many pro-level participants, that I think
I learn more from the participants than they learn from me.  There will also
be a naturalist there for spouses, etc. who are more interested in the
natural history aspect of the area than photography. 

The workshop runs from Sunday, June 29 through Saturday, July 5.  The total
cost, all food and "lodging" (tent cabins) included, is $395 -- a wild
bargain.

This (very) non-profit (IRC 501(c)(3)) workshop is in the Golden Trout
Wilderness (thus its name), which is in California's High Sierras.  It's
located at the southern border of the John Muir Wilderness, a few miles
south of Mount Whitney, and is one of the only facilities allowed to exist
in a wilderness area.  

It's not for everyone.  This is a wilderness camp.  It's at high elevation
and a 3 mile hike to get in.  On most days people will want to hike a few
more miles to get to the best shooting venues.  But, we do have a
solar-electric system for running printers, charging batteries, etc., and
we'll be spending as much time as participants want in demonstrating
printing-related topics.

In general, for those who are into this type of environment and want to
spend a week with like-minded photographers, it's a great bargain and a lot
of fun.  One participant who had never experienced the High Sierra
wilderness simply described his week at camp as "life changing" --
presumably for the better since he's coming back.
