This photography group is aimed at those photographers like myself who love getting out of the city and into the landscape to chill out and photograph. In addition to Meetups we will schedule day and weekend trips and workshops into the landscape. Should be a blast for those that love to photograph wide open spaces! This is not your typical photography Meetup group.  I really try to go beyond their group "blind leading the blind" shoots and casual get togethers.  With over forty years of photogr …

Designing for T-shirts and garments is one of those areas where just the smallest details done right can make a huge difference: between a few sales & a lot of sales or between a promotional shirt that is used to clean a car and one that’s not just worn, but people ask you where one bought the shirt. The purpose of the group is to help people that want to make garments for any reason including: - Promotional giveaways (premiums) for their company. - Designs and illustrations meant for sale of th …

I formed this group because I believe film photography will never truly die, and instant gratification from Instagram doesn't always satisfy! If you're tired of seeing Photoshopped photos ALL the time and you miss the graininess that comes with film and the gratification of maki …
