There's always the arboretumSP? just west of the city. They don't care how
many tripods you bring. :-) In all the years of dragging my tripod around in the
city I've never had a cop give me any trouble.

Contrary to our reputation Chicago is a clean and friendly city full of friendly
people.

You are looking at a wealth of riches here.

I would love to get back to Charleston SC to take pictures. I could
spend a week just at the Central of Georgia railroad shops on the west
side of the city -- and a lifetime in the central area of town.
(Don't worry... They moved the statue from the Garden of Good and
Evil). But Charleston is relatively expensive to get to.

I'll second the vote for Chicago. It is centrally located and easy to
get to. The arboretum is a splendid idea. Not only is it a great
place for photography, but they have a wonderful meeting room they let
out for modest sized groups. But photo-ops are distinctly more
limited in DuPage County, and you are at least a half hour from
downtown.

The cheapest city to get to and stay in is Las Vegas (if you don't
gamble). But be sure to have the conference.

I'd like to see the View Camera conference come to NYC. If not part
of the Photo Plus show (which I think would tend to make it
expensive), then perhaps in conjunction with the International Center
of Photography.

This is something we will think about. How about the weekend before
or after Photo Plus?

The weekend before Photo Plus in order to catch the last of the fall
foliage. In years past the foliage peaks in Dutchess county (upstate
New York) on or just before the third weekend in October. NYC peaks
about a week later.

Whaddya mean, contrary to reputation? I've always known Chicago to be like
that--but them, it's where I was born, so I'm partial to it.

or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
