Other Areas Why no Southern California club?

[Darkhorse]

I'm just wondering why there isn't a regional club here for LA/OC? I'm sure there's plenty of locations to shoot, lots of film fanatics, too.

I've joined some groups via Meetup.com, but a lot of groups require money for model shoots (something I want to participate in sometime but I don't want to spend a lot of money right now) or they're more digitally oriented.

I've wondered the same thing. 🙂

It's a mystery to me...

I wouldn't mind driving from Vegas to L.A. on a weekend if there was some kind of a gathering setup in an interesting locale... always up for shooting and meeting new people.

no one asked for one would be my guess.

a bunch of people did meet at farmer's market last year.

Maybe it's because LA/OCis pretty huge, for example, how far is it from Valencia to Irvine?

 

[Darkhorse]

Depends on traffic. Google maps says it could take as little as 1hr and 17mins. At worst it could take well over double that.

I think anyone who lives in LA/OC realizes a fair amount of driving might be required for a meetup anywhere.

I propose a BBQ pigout at Bludso's.

I would come if the group convened in the northern part of LA. I'm allergic to the insanity that passes for a transportation system there.

If you build it they will clog it.

I'd be up for a gathering of any sort...
The LA/OC area is a big one and any location one could come up with someone's going to be doing some driving...
I was at the Farmer's Market meet and I enjoyed meeting other RFFer's...
I wouldn't mind doing it again but somewhere else...

 

[nikon_sam]

As far as a Club goes..my guess is that we are too wide spread out that finding a meeting place that would be good for everyone would be impossible and with today's schedules even harder to agree on...
I would be happy with once a year meeting either to sit around and discuss cameras/photography or anything else or try to do some fun shooting...

Last year I was in grad school and had to stick with the books. Ive since graduated but Im running for election now and that takes a huge amount of time. I would make an effort to meet annually unless its like really far out in Malibu or something like that..

Traffic: seems to me the earlier the better.

Another irviner here, i saw someone at a ralphs grocery store with a torn shirt and an M6/M7.. anyone here?

 

[nikon_sam]

Would anyone be interested in meeting even if it's just for lunch...(you can still bring a camera if you want)
