Looking for members in Philadelphia

[fuel123]

I am looking for other members of this forum who live in Philadelphia and would like to get together. I am a newbie and would like to meet up with other people who are willing to show me some tricks of the trade or even if you just want to get together for a beer or something. I have tried to search for members located in Philadelphia and came seem to find them. Let me know if any one is interested.

Hope to hear from you all soon

I was going to start a thread but hey, we'll use this. I'm going to get my photographers together from the newspaper I work at to meet with us too. Lets hear it, who's interested?? We're gonna need date's too, figure soon?

I live about 20 minutes from Philadelphia. However, when the weather is warmer out, I'm always in the city with my gf, especially for attending Phillies games. I'd love to see something set-up where us Philly photog's can meet one another, grab a bite to eat, and photograph different parts of the city.

I live relatively close to Philly and would be interested in a get together.

How far in advance would be good for everybody? 2 weeks 30 days etc. Any suggestions on what we could do? meet for a walk about to take some shots? I live in the art museum and have some great buildings and locations that I think would be good for some shots. (rocky statue, art museum, franklin institute, loads of statues and fountains) Any suggestions let me know I can set up one of those evite things

Don't think I will be able to get out any time soon (just had our second kid) but I live in South Jersey and would love to at least know what and when things are going down. I would love to get some pics in the city...especially at night.

As long as I have a week or two notice, then I would be fine. Would we potentially do this on a weekend? Or weeknight? Personally I don't have a perference. As long as it's warm out, I'm game for getting together (it seems as though I like to hibernate when it's cold).

South Philly is always a great spot to photograph the city skyline, as well as the Ben Franklin Bridge as well. There is also South Street as well for those interested. I like the Art Musuem idea as well.

I live in Philly......Maybe we could meet at Penn's Landing, good parking there, then walk up to Rittenhouse Square and then back....that would make for a real good day and many good images.......at any rate...count me in....

hope nobody minds but I would be using an Epson R-D1s or an M8.........

[nburwell]

I know there has to be more member in or around Philly that would be interested in organizing a get-together. Hopefull the bump will get more exposure.

[JawsofLife252]

Stupid post but....hehehee sorry,

Can't do it Monday because I have a job interview with the Phillies, hehehehehehehe
SCHHHWEEEEEEEEEEEET!


seriously, i'm thinking second weekend in April? Anyone else?

[nburwell]

^ Ah, you suck! Maybe you could get me discount tix if you get the job, haha, jk.

So April 13th and/or 14th is the dates suggested. If it were late afternoon or early evening meet, then I'm game (depends on work).

Anyone else potentially good for either of these two dates?

[philly_stan]

I'm in. Nice to see some locals here.

[Adaptive]

Live in Delaware, pretty close to philly

I'm down with meeting some photography peeps!

Any dates planned yet?

[formula4speed]

I'm from Delaware as well, Philly isn't too far for me but my schedule can be a bit crazy. If someone organizes something I'll try to make it, weather is getting pretty nice now.

[JawsofLife252]

Ok, Nburwell I got the job! lol I don't know if I get discount tickets or not though haha. So now since I have to be at the home games, how about the first weekend in April or the third weekend which is April 21 (Sat.)?

[handyhaver]

Depending when & where, I may be able to make it. Been working like a mad man. Haven't had much time to play. An event like this could be just the nudge I need to take a mental health day. Lots of great parks & trails in the tri state area also................keep me posted

I'm located in Glenside, PA (Center Valley, PA as i finish Undergrad).

I'd be down with getting together to photograph the city.

[fuel123]

Wow I almost forgot about this thread I started - Nice to see people interested in meeting. I am located in the art museum area my condo unit has an area for people to meet, plus if you want anyone can leave there extra gear in my unit. If your not familiar with the Art museum area we have the Franklin institute, the circle fountains, the Philadelphia library and of course the art museum itself (with the rocky statue) If we wanted to do some shooting you could ask for a more vibrant location, yes I am bias I do live here.
I was thinking along the lines of meeting some time around noon shooting for a few hours and maybe get together afterward to get some lunch or something. I am going to set up an e-vite so it will be easy to touch base with everyone. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know - can't wait to meet everyone
till then

Sweet! Congrats on the job!

I know the first weekend in April won't work for me. I'll be in LA for the majority of the week for business meetings, then my gf and I are heading down to Washington D.C for the weekend.

Later in April would work for me.

[JawsofLife252]

Sweet! Congrats on the job!..............Later in April would work for me.

Thanks! Yeah I think we're all pointing in that direction.

[fuel123]

Up in the Lehigh Valley, there's not much formal going on.

Maybe we should meet at the Olympus campus? :lol:

Was there a GTG yet?

Thread on the Lehigh Valley - We're in range of Philly.

It occurs to me that a regional get together could work.

We have no real leader, and no meets set up.

Looks like 20+ between the two threads, though.

What could 20 people go shoot.............

[delthedog]

Hi all,

I just started a thread without searching first, now I found this.
I live in Philly andwould be interested in a GTG.

[handyhaver]

Look's like there is a possible meet & greet for the Philly area going on in another post. Anybody interested??
