LA DPC meet-Sunday, June 27th! - DPChallenge Forums

06/21/2004 02:03:11 PM · #1

Well, Arie, Eric and myself are going to meet together this Sunday and so far we don't have a definitive location but Venice Beach seems the most likely candidate so far. We will probably meet in the morning around 10 and just wander whereever our eyes and lenses take us. Who else wants to join us?

Next day bump!

Good, I couldn't find this post! :) I think 10 am sounds good. What do you think about meeting at the big V (behind muscle beach and the graffiti wall? PM me with with your cell. I'll do the same so we can get in touch.

I know there other LA DPCers out there, come join us!!!

I found out I have to work this Sunday. I will be off by 12:30pm

How long do you think you guys will be out there? Maybe I can meet you down there!

Let me know.

PM sent, Arie and I still have your cell phone #. Eric, I'd imagine we'll still be around somewhere at 12:30. Just give me a call when you're off work and we'll tell you where we are.

Sorry that the post got buried under all the other ones but now you know where it is! :)

BTW, I have no idea where all that stuff is: big V and the grafitti wall. If you tell me where they are, I'll meet you there or whereever you want.

We can meet at 11am instead, giving more opportunity for Eric to meet us. And anyone else. I don't mind going at 11am instead.

The big V is behind muscle beach. //community.webshots.com/photo/85134479/85135067RAyPaI Do you know it?

This would be the best way to find the big V

Use this address as your destination for MAPQUEST
25 Windward Avenue
Venice, California 90291

This address is for the Venice Beach Hostel and the boardwalk begins here. You can see the big V very clearly from this location. There is only metered marking there but you can try to find parking in the vicinity.

I hope this helps.

"EDIT"
I get off work at 12:30 and I work in Burbank.
It will take me about 45 minutes to get there from Bubank.

I don't see why we can't spend the afternoon there and wait for you! Greg, do you want to still meet at 10am or is 11am or 12pm better for you? You name it, I'll be there.

Anyone else joining us?

06/24/2004 03:40:59 PM · #9

Anytime is fine with me. I'm totally flexible. :)

BTW, I am working on a fairly generic unpaid model relese form and, if you would like, I can make it personalized for each individual photographer. The sample form has a space for the photographer's address and I am printing mine with my address already in there. If you want me to do the same, PM me your info and I can print them up for Sunday. Otherwise I can leave the space blank so anyone can use it.

OK, I hate being wishy-washy so I'll set a time: 11:00am at the the big V. Have you guys decided about the model release forms? If I don't hear from you and Eric by, say, 5pm today I'll just print them blank and you can fill in the info.

06/25/2004 06:27:29 PM · #11

I just PM'd you. Eric, PM me with your cell. I'll send you mine too. That way, you can meet up with us when you get off of work. And if we move further north or anything, we'll call your cell.

If anyone else wants to join us, please post here and PM one of us so we can get in touch with you!

06/25/2004 06:48:08 PM · #12

I got both PMs, thanks! I'll print out about 30 each so the person we photograph can keep a copy as well. I didn't mean to sound too mean in the earlier post but I hate being wishy washy (by myself) so I decided to take some action and set a time. :)

I haven't been very active here at DPC since I registered. I would love to go with you all but unfortunately tomorrow is booked. However, if you all hook up again in the future and you don't mind, I would love to join you all!

06/27/2004 04:29:42 AM · #15

We'll get together again. Just keep an eye out for LA DPC posts :)
For those of you who want to meet us, we'll be at the big V on Venice Beach at 11am tomorrow! See you there!

06/28/2004 12:42:58 AM · #16

I had a blast today snapping lots of pics (about 136 total). Got a bit sunburned but it was still a lot of fun. I'll have my photos posted online in a day or so.

Eric has an idea for the next location and it's in Santa Clarita somewhere and I can't remember the name. Again, anyone is welcome to join us if you're in LA or even just visiting. We'd love to get more people to join us!

06/28/2004 12:53:01 AM · #17

Today was awesome. I got so many shots, and it was really fun hanging out with you two! I really would love if some other LA DPCers would meet up with us too! It's great to have photo friends to go shooting with :)

I am really really sunburnt. I forgot my sunblock (very sad since I am very sensative). I hope I heal quick.

Anyhow, I'll post some photos sometime soon :)

06/28/2004 01:23:54 AM · #18

OK, before I pass out from being really tired (we walked a LOT today) I've posted a few pictures in my portfolio: //www.dpchallenge.com/portfolio.php?USER_ID=8054&collection_id=3440

06/29/2004 06:01:36 PM · #19

Eric, what was that name of that area in Santa Clarita that you wanted to go to next time? What do you think about July 11th or July 18th? Both Sundays I am free...

:) Arie

Any other LA DPCers free on those dates?

I finally went through my Venice Beach photos! Yay! Now I just need to go through about 140 photos from Vasquez Rock etc and I'll be all caught up.

Here's the link: //www.owwdee.com/dpchallenge/venice2004/

Enjoy!

07/15/2004 12:00:55 PM · #21

Wow, you really captured the feel of Venice really well! I am very impressed. I love the humanity you were able to grasp. The photo of the crazy devil guy (the one with the shark kite) is a great shot! I wish you entered that for extraordinary!!! Oh well. You did good. I look forward to your Vasquez Rocks pix.

07/15/2004 05:44:22 PM · #22

Thanks Arie! I was going to add a quote/title to that guy's photo and I will in the future because he looks funny with the kite sticking out of his head. :)

BTW, I forgot to ask you if it was ok to post your pics of the GSN interview. Is it ok? If not, I'll take them down.

(Fixed typos)
