I am going to try to make it along with Melody. Sounds like fun.
More details later when we work out our fall calendar.

Subject: 2008 bi-yealry Texas Alt Process Gathering
My name is Matt Magruder. I've been on the
Alt Process list for a few years now, but rarely email through it, although I
follow it regularly. I wanted to extend an invite to the mailinglist members
that might be interested.
Heres some brief info about the gathering.
More info to come.
So
its been 2 yrs since the last Texas Alt Process get together (and most all
other processes for that matter)
Bi-Yearly
Texas Alt Process (and stuff) Gathering
When: Friday, Oct.
24th - Sunday, Oct. 26th, 2008
Where:
Spring
Branch, TX -
Located in the Texas Hill Country right on the shores of Canyon Lake. Located
just north of San Antonio.
What: The format is
relaxed to say the very least. Have a chance to share some work, have some good
conversation, drink some good beer, have some good bbq, join some fellow
photographers out shooting together and perhaps even have some demoes of some
processes.
The
last get together had a helluva attendance, people showed off everything from
tricolor gum prints, to silver prints, to photogravures, to
platinum/palladiums, to a 20x24 ruby ambrotype.
For
those that couldn't make it to the last one, it was a wonderful time (and
thanks to Mr. Clay "turnipista" Harmon for his generous hosting). I'm
hoping we can continue along the same lines, a casual relaxed gathering, no
strict schedule, all in all a good time for all.
Location
details: My wonderfully generous parents have offered to open up their spacious
house on Canyon Lake to host it. Its on about 2+ acres right on the Canyon Lake
shoreline. There are numerous hotels, B&Bs, cabins, etc within close
proximity. Plenty of space in the house to relax on the porch, share prints,
give informal talks, whatever. Theres even room in the garage for demoing some
processes - anyone interested in a demo of pt/pd, gum-over pt/pd demo, wet
plate, etc etc.... lots of possibilities.
Likely
Saturday could be "scheduled" to have the official gathering from
lunch time till whenever it stops - I'm thinking some Salt Lick BBQ might be a
nice dinner buffet.
Fri,
Sat morn, sunday could possibly have some informal shooting outings.
There
are more locations than one could hope for within 40miles of the house. Old
towns, spanish missions, churches, gorgeous rivers, state parks, industrial
decay, the list goes on.
I
wanted to post this to get a feel for interest from people. Please post if you
are interested in attending and share any/all thoughts or ideas.
I
know its a ways out, but figured better to get the ball rolling, so people
could pencil it in.
Sidenote:
I think this is the first time in the 30yrs I've graced this earth that I've
actually planned something more than 2 weeks in advance.
