I'm in the same boat as you Legacy! It would be fantastic to meet up with RetouchPro friends for certain and I wish you all well in your endeavours to get together. I like the montage idea for those not "present" on the date.

We shall all have to go in Yahoo chat rooms or something and chat while they go and meet up...lol!

Hmm i would really like to meet up. But i have a 12 hour flight just to get to the us..
so if i can get the money i need alot of other things to fit together
i would proberply whant to get to New Tork to shoot alot on location model/fashion shots and so on. But my Photoshop skills would really benefit from it, im sure.
So it all depends on a; can i get the money and b; can i get all the other things like place to stay and so on to fit.
Combined with a conferense about Photoshop would be cool, but maybe also complicatet.

Just curious " How many Uk folk are members here? " We could have a UK meet up for british people if anyones intrested! Flights to the states will be costly to those who cannot afford a ticket,

Regards Barry.

Reading through the posts i had a idea ( oh no must stop it ) As the logistics of everyone getting together is a bit hard,
So on a given date (or maybe a week ) everyone takes a photo (Say outside ) and posts and then try to make a montage of the photo's which because of the size would have to be split into groups say moderators as one senior members as another etc etc or even countries
What do you think ? maybe some one could set it up ?

[Legacy~Art]

Thats a fab idea Palms! So where in england are you?

But most photographers or artists hate having their picture taken, so do you want picture of us or the front door? hehe

[palms1]

well LA i am in sunny (although not today) Birmingham right by the airport,
Funny i never thought about all photographers and artists disliking pictures of themselves, but that is mainly why i started taking the photo's myself only problem being it dosen't look as if i ever go to any functions etc. But surely being able to retouch photo's we could bypass the problems? Like i would make myself thinner, younger etc
But i do think the front door option could be very interesting in a nosey sort of way.

As I remember the sun was something we saw in pictures.

Mind you, after a few months of drought around here, I do miss the rain!
