Thank you so much for joining us! If you\u2019ve been before, you know how things go around here. It can be a pretty loose event, but we do our best to stay on schedule. For this reason, I hope you\u2019ll settle in, introduce yourself around and get into the the relaxed spirit of Photostock. This is a great bunch of people and you\u2019ll find we\u2019re a pretty open and friendly group.

There are no scheduled events for today. 11:00 is check-out time at the hotel, but you shouldn\u2019t feel as if you have to run. Still, many do get going and the place clears out pretty quick. Hopefully by this time you will have had such a good time and will be so charged up about your work and that of others, that you will need a rest before you get back to work with your newly recharged energy.\u2028\u2028Happy Solstice!<\/p>\n Photostock2019!

\nPhotostock Workshop near Cross Village. Although the main event doesn’t start until Thursday<\/em>, Dan’s workshop will start at 9:00AM today and go all day. This is only for those who have registered and paid for the workshop. Please, no visitors. We will break for lunch midday at the Moosejaw Junction down the hill. <\/p>\n
\nPhotostock Workshop near Cross Village. This is the final day of Dan’s workshop for those who have registered. Only for registered workshop students. Please, no visitors today. Dan will be speaking to the general registration on Friday night.<\/p>\n
\nPick up your laminate pass and pre-purchased meal tickets at the registration table in the Birchwood Sunroom. For those not yet registered, there is a registration fee of $150 for the weekend. We will also have a merchandise table where we\u2019ll have books, and other goodies brought by our presenters for your consideration. Several of the special guests will have books and maybe even some prints for sale. This table will be open and staffed before and after the presentations. Feel free to stop by and have a look!<\/p>\n
\nWe\u2019re moving the presentations up and into the afternoon in some cases to allow for some shooting in the evening light. We hope you\u2019ll get out and make the best of it! The sun will still be up for awhile and with any luck, it will be shining. After that, expect a nice, long golden hour of twilight for your photographing pleasure. There is a lot to photograph around here and it is waiting for you out there.<\/p>\n
\nThose with meal tickets – 8:00 – 9:00 AM<\/p>\n
\nAll registered for this workshop should gather in the basement, “Forrest Room” for an intensive day of learning to make digital negatives for alternative process printing.This workshop is sold-out and there are a lot of students, so be prepared to task the brain and delve in. We expect this shop to last much of the day and if you are in this workshop, you either have a will soon have communication further preparing you. <\/p>\n
\nLet\u2019s face it, as photographers, we all love our gear and at Photostock, there are people into all kinds of different cameras and processes. This is a great time to set up out in the courtyard and show it off. This is something that goes on much of the weekend, but consider this a good time to wander and see what people are working with.<\/p>\n
\nAlthough people will be sharing their work amongst themselves all weekend, the formal portfolio viewing and sharing has become one of the favorite aspects of Photostock. It\u2019s been amazing to see the progression in people\u2019s work over the years and this is your time to let it shine. We\u2019ll be utilizing the basement meeting room as well as the sun room this year in order to accommodate everyone.<\/p>\n
\nTime to kick back on the patio and under the big tent for an evening of socializing and more. This is our last night together and you\u2019ll definitely want to hang around. Saturday parties at Photostock have been things of legends and it\u2019s time to make some more. This will be a BYOB event, so please be sure to take care of your bottles and cans. If you bring it, take it away be it empty or full. We have a great relationship and track record with the fine people of the Birchwood Inn and we want to keep it that way. It will also be easier to clean up and pack in the morning for our respective trips home.<\/p>\n
\nBefore you go, consider booking your room for 2019! The dates have already been set and work is in progress to secure special guests for another great year.<\/p>\n
