The NANPA annual summit started yesterday in Denver. It is such a creative, energetic, and vibrant event. I have started a blog to share some things with people who are interested. I'm going to try to add something each day, but posts may be slow coming in - there is much to see and do here.

It is in Denver, Colorado. Tuesday and Wednesday were the pre-summit events. Today, Friday, and Saturday are the main events. Next year it will be in Palm Desert, California. There will be a regional summit in West Virginia. And some new events called Road Trips in several locations throughout the country. I'll post more about the locations, dates, and who will be giving workshops later.

BTW - next posts will be about the workshop with John Fielder at Roxborough State Park - and perhaps some info from the pros meeting.

I enjoyed your blog and look forward to the next entry! I checked our libraries for the book you mention, "The Dot," and it seems readily available for those who don't need/want to buy it.

Nevermind, I found the info. :D

If your here this weekend, RMNP is free this weekend. I'd more than happy to taxi you up there to shoot.
