View Full Version : Joshua Tree March 2005 Update
photogoddess
11-09-2004, 11:59 AM
After our scouting trip this last weekend, we now have a much better idea of the lay of the land. The terrain is just as expected - sandy and rocky with lots of Joshua trees. :LOL: We had the good fortune of having some interesting weather - cloudy and rainy so the lighting literally changed from minute to minute.
We are in the process of making campsite reservations, planning food and some workshops. We need to know how many are officially coming and a deposit of $20 via Paypal towards the final cost per person. Deposits should to be sent to donate@thephotoforum.com. You can use the link at the bottom of any forum page. Please make sure you put a note in there so we know what it’s for. If you need to make your deposit another way, please contact Chase via PM.
If anyone is still unsure about attending, drop me or Chase a PM and let us know the likelyhood of you making it since once we reserve the spaces, we will be hard pressed to get more room considering that this trip falls during Spring Break.
As we get closer to the date, we will be posting sample menus.
Let us know if there is anything that you would like us to cover but here are some suggested workshops
Night photos - timed exposures and painting with light
Portraits - natural lighting - reflectors and diffuser use
Portraits - studio lighting 101
Macro
Desert landscapes - making harsh lighting & weather work for you.
Medium/Large format
And of course, some sample photos of the place. Hopefully Chase and Malachite will add some of their own.

Beautiful place! I'm still working on my financial status, but I'm almost positive I'll be able to make it! I should know for sure closer to December!
When are you guys planning on making the reservation, so I can get the donation in if I need to...

Ok Boys and Girls! The time has come for us to make the reservations and start planning the rest of the trip. If you haven't participated in the poll and sent your deposit, the time to do so is now. If you are still thinking about coming but aren't quite sure yet, please drop me or Chase a quick pm. It's going to be an awesome trip!!! :P

Ok, we now have 3 campsites booked.
We're going to be living it up in style with flush toilets and sinks with running water!!! :lol:
All together, these sites accomodate up to 18 people and it looks like we're fairly close to that limit. If you are interested in going and have not yet informed us, please do so as quickly as possible so we can make sure we don't run out of room!

Due to Matt having the first flight arrangements, we kind of set things according to his schedule. We are set to arrive at the campground sometime in the afternoon on Thursay, March the 17th to get our camp spots. We're planning on being out of the campsite sometime late Sunday, March 20th. Depending on flight schedules in and out , we may be arriving at the campground in shifts. Matt's flight arrives at Ontario Airport (San Bernardino, CA) at 1pm on the 17th. His flight home leave Monday morning at 10:45 out of the same airport. Chase and I will be available to pick up anyone flying in but if we could get some of the people to arrive and depart around the same times, it would make things much easier for all. Anyone flying in a needing a ride, please send Chase or I a copy of your itinerary.
Chase
11-19-2004, 02:39 PM

Ok boys and girls. In the interest of having enough space, I've just reserved a 4th site. It's looking like we're going to have an awesome turn out. Chase and I are planning a second scouting trip on the 12th of December due to the fact that we checked out all the other campsites except the one that we actually reserved. :LOL: We'll keep you up to date and post some more teaser shots when we get them. If you haven't sent your deposit, get it in.

If Kara dared say she wasnt comin I woulda gone and dragged her butt there :LOL:
Ok , I'm goin to be bookin my flight in the New Year ... ( probably mid January , I'm waitin on my Canadian work visa :roll: ... )
As of now I'm thinkin I should fly in the night before and stay at a motel right near the airport .... just to make it easier , get over the jet lag in a comfy bed , avoid plane delays etc etc.
And if Matt and whoever else are gettin a lift to the airport on Monday mornin then I'll probably time my flight to Canada for that mornin also ..... ?
Karalee
12-23-2004, 02:11 AM

Ok, So I'm coming to JT officially!
What is the final plan for picking people up at the airport?
I'm looking at tickets that can put my in Ontario CA on the night of the 17th or the morning of the 18th. Which would be better? Also when are we hearding people back to the airport on the 20th?

I got my mom and my sister coming too.
Do have to bring like a tent and cooking stove, food, etc. to this or is it provided?
I driving, so where is the camp site?
Where do I pay for this thing? Do my mom and sister pay too even tho there are not going to do the workshops? Maybe they could just help pay for the campsite?
Thx,
Cmptrdewd
photogoddess
01-12-2005, 07:03 PM
We have reserved 4 camp sites at the Black Rock Campground at the far North West of the park. Deposit is $20. Pay using the paypal button at the bottom of any forum page. Make sure you specify your handle and that the money is for the JT trip deposit.
You will need to bring camping gear and we will be providing all food and drink. Once we get the final head count and the meals planned out and priced, we will be letting everyone know how much the balance will be. We will be eating well but the cost will be very reasonable. The workshops are free and totally voluntary. Just a bunch of the old veterans around here sharing their knowlege with those wanting to learn. Any other questions, please let us know.

ITS GETTING CLOSER!!!! WOOHOO!!
So do we have any information about what we all need to bring as far as supplies are concerned?
Here is what Jess and I are bringing:
Small Pop Tent
Sleeping Bags
Camera Gear (obviously)
And I guess that is it, we're pretty limited with our luggage, being that we are flying...
Let me know if we need to bring other stuff....
Also when is everyone getting to our destination?
Jess and I are flying into Ontario on the 16th and are gonna tour around LA, Santa Monica, and the Beach (can't wait to see the pacific!) And we'll be ready to head out on the 17th to JT. What are everyone else's plans? Oh yeah, if you have any suggestions on what we should see on our tour of Southern California, PLEASE let us know! We're clueless here!
Word,
Zach :D

03-06-2005, 09:54 PM
Depends what sorts of things you want to catch. Venice Beach is always an interesting place to visit, lots of interesting characters there (and its close to Santa Monica). Its seem to be fun for out-of-towners to at least run through Hollywood and see just how screwed up it really is! :lol:

Some individual shots and candids would be awesome too. I'm willing to pay for the prints and everything. It would really mean a lot to me. At the very least..please please please!!! get the group shot!!!!!
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

03-11-2005, 01:20 PM
Absolutely, Corry! Aubrey was planning on doing a group photo and I'm sure between the lot of us we'll have at least one tripod and a camera with a self timer :mrgreen:
And Tammy, we'll bring the moola to you on Thursday.
photogoddess
03-11-2005, 03:23 PM
Just to clarify a bit... I know that a couple of you are planning on getting out there on your own. The amount we added for gas includes Chase having to drive out to get firewood at his Mom's, the gas to get a 32' motorhome and a truck and 25' trailer out there. Between the motorhome and trailer, we will have sleeping quarters for 7 couples, hot showers for all and 2 complete kitchen set ups (stoves and fridges run on lpg). Hope this answers any questions that you might have had.
Count down to JT!!! :headbang:

The day for what? And how did I wake up in California? I think I vaguely remember meeting you last night, Tammy? Who was that tall guy at your house? Hmmm....more sleep required!

Malachite is already out there, Chase, Star, A & A and Zach and Jess should be on their way soon and as soon as MD gets here, we're gonna get this party started. ;) And don't you worry one bit. We're gonna have TONS of fun! :twisted:
Chase is pretty damn dodgy. I have a feeling that we will get lots of pics of him hiding behind Joshua trees and with a camera blocking his face. ;)

I can see them all now, sitting around the campfire toasting marshmallows. Chase will be playing his banjo and they'll all be singing folk songs in three part harmony. Then there will be the clog dancing competition and the 'interesting knots' seminar. What fun.
(I wonder who will be first to get food poisoning? Undercooked marshmallows can be dodgy)

I guess the kids will be back from camp soon. Better get the sheep dip ready - they're bound to have caught cooties.
I do hope they remember to untangle MD from that cactus. Holiday romances never work.

Uh-oh! Looks like they are back. But they must be plum tuckered out - they haven't spammed us to death yet.
It was so peaceful whilst they were away.... wonder where we can send them next?

They're back and it's still quiet. Could be sunstroke but my money is on hangovers.

We're back but we still had Matt, Alison and Aubrey to show around So. Cal. We should be back to our regularly scheduled mayhem later today and tomorrow after getting them all off to the airport. :twisted:

Yup! They've all got hangovers. Can't find the airport without help is a sure sign ;-)

Everyone is now dropped off at the airport and headed home. :D Hertz, we all got over our big hangovers Saturday morning. :drunk:

HAH! I knew it. JT was just an excuse for a knees up.
(We can't go on meeting here in the stock cupboard, PG. The others might get suspicious... But before we sneak out could you just get me some paperclips? They're in the bottom drawer over there...)
photogoddess

JT was ROCKIN!!! :headbang: I can't wait to see everyone's photos. :D
Hahaha! You found us out Hertz! :sexywink:
**Reaches over Hertz's knee, grabs to the right for a handful... of paperclips**
Here's your paperclips Hertz. You go first out and I'll follow in a few minutes. Wouldn't want anyone to get suspicious. :eyebrows:

Unmmm, actually Aubrey and Alison are still in So Cal due to
AmericanWest overbooking our flight and the security line was about a 30 walk to get to the back of the line to then wait. However, it ended with 2 $300 flight coupons and free dinner. Plus, an extra day with Chase (and lunch with Mrs. Chase). But, it's all good, we got a red eye back to Boston that leaves tonight.

Too bad y'all didn't want to explore the park and see the incredible wildflower display at the east entrance! :razz:

You better go first. I'm having palpitations and my knees have gone weak.
(Why oh why oh why do I still get so aroused by paperclips? My shrink said I was cured....)

Howdy-
Thought you guys might want to see my pictures from California. Nothing too fancy... I haven't developed my film yet, these are just from my digital camera.

Happy Easter.
