Has anyone thought this up yet? Perhaps have a National DPC get together? Say, like a long weekend somewhere mid country so that everyone has to travel? I know I'd LOVE for something like this.
How about if each country had a get together at different times so if someone from another country wanted to go to see some place new they could go to that country. Great way for the locals to show you where to get the best pictures. It was my girl friend idea really. She's kind of smart.
I agree that focusing it around an existing photography-related event would be the best bet. Like PMA 2005 (as kirbic mentioned) or Photoshop World in Vegas, March 8-10, 2005...
3 waterfalls big enough to care about and probably 25 smaller ones in the immediate area. :)
Oh, I third Ithaca NY.
I spoke about this to the PTB once and while they're up for something like this to happen, it IS a HUGE idea. We'd need to know like a year ahead of time. It couldn't be anything before end of next summer.
You guys are right. It's a beautiful area. I'm just surprised people have heard about it. I live just a little ways away (Watkins Glen) and when I try to tell people I'm near Ithaca or Elmira they have no clue where those are. This area is very pretty. There are tons of waterfalls, lakes, and hills. I love it here. Waterfalls have become my most favorite subjects. If no one has been to Ithaca or this area, here are some waterfall shots of mine of the local falls.
