BPC Boston and BPC Lowell are holding a click and shoot on Saturday, October 27, 2007 meeting at the Newburyport Commuter Rail station at 1pm. We will have approximately two hours of free time in downtown Newburyport to photograph this Beautiful historic city.

I will leave it up to the individual members to arrange transportation. For those who are unable to arrange a ride, there is a train out of North Station at 11:30AM which will bring you to Newburyport. The link for the train schedule is here

Newburyport is the city where the U.S. Coast Guard was founded in August 1789. The Merrimack River has all kinds of small boat traffic to photograph. There is also a nice flea market on the waterfront.

Grand Trunk Imports, a cheese and wine shop near City Hall that will be holding a wine tasting from either 2pm to 5pm or 3pm to 6pm, when I called they were not sure of the exact time.

At approximately 3pm we will make our way from Newburyport to the the picturesque town of Newbury. We will be stopping by the Tendercrop Farm, which is a very nice farmers market and lovely things to shoot and to just spend relaxing day shopping for Organic food. They have a buffalo named "Buffy" and two llamas. We will be arriving before sunset so we can see Buffy when she is more active later in the day, and relax before the sunset. There are old colonial homes on Rt 1A which can be photographed with the late day sun on them.

People who are going to be driving, please contact Leigh Musicof for directions and his number.

Leigh Musicof and Banafsheh will be running the "C&S".

So far three members have signed up. I just thought to keep you all in the loupe! Maybe someone decides to join us?

I have photographed this wonderful event Three times and for some very New Mexican reason (if you know the area,you would understand why! ) you just never get tired of it!

I have taught in Santa Fe , NM for the past 6 years and for the past 13 years I have spend a month in Santa Fe almost every year. I would like to switch the workshop this year from the Berkshires to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival.
One word describes it "majestic" . My love for NM is so deep that I must say thinking about the event and what I have experienced gives me goosebumps!
Here are some details:

We would stay in Santa Fe and not Albuquerque since we also want to cover the city of Santa Fe and Taos.

This workshop is only for 6 people all double occupancies .

We will travel wed October 10 ( since we could catch 3 afterGlows) and be back by Sunday by Sunday evening October 14 .

The price would be somewhere around $880 ( this includes your hotel and your transportation within the cities)

Now , plane tickets usually go for anywhere between $385-$550. If I decide to do the workshop I will try to get us a discounted price ,so we could all fly together.

More info will follow when I receive the third person since I would do this trip with the third RSVP!

take care

We will be meeting at Gary's Ice Cream on 500 Pawtucket St (corner of Walker St) Lowell across from the River. This will be a click and shoot we will be walking along the canal walkway to the flood gates. It is a short walk. Afterwards we can all treat ourselves to an ice cream and move across the street to the river. Where we can shoot some photos or just sit and talk on the tables available. Hope to see you there
