I like all the ideas that you suggested. Especially having an expert on a specific subject talk a little more about it.
I am in and let me know if you need any help with RSVP lists. I sit here at work all day so I have lots of time on my hands to watch the group posts.
Thanks again for setting this up.

That all sound awesome. Maybe we could include body painting for nude photos. Those just look so artistic! And a makeup artist would definately be awesome, so our looks could be changed with the different scene locations.

Personally my biggest weakness is probably post processing, though I have a lot to learn in all of the areas suggested.
It would also be super cool if we could have a make-up artist involved. One of my best friends, Cat Coats happens to be one but she's usually working at Nordstrom for Dior on Sundays, but I'll ask her about the 27th right now in case we get lucky. She does all kinds of fashion shows and shoots, some conservative and some super crazy ones too. If not, maybe somebody else knows a good make-up person.

If somebody posts or sends me Jaime Pico's mailing address I'll send him a disc with all of my processed shots (about three times as many as I posted).

Let me know if I can help again. It was a lot of fun and such a great experience. . .

Those ideas sound great. I am especially interested in the flattering & unflattering poses and working with models. Thanks again and I am looking forward to the next event.

Hello everyone I just stumbled across Flicker and joined, I am very interested in learning more about shooting people pictures.

Suggestion for one of the meetings:
As a photographer I don't have any pictures of myself. They're useful for promotional purposes if nothing else.
How about we model for each other with the intent of using them for self promotion?
Did that make sense?
Of course if only a few people would find this useful I'd be interested in meeting with just those few and helping each other out.

Hey everyone!
I just recently discovered Strobist, but I'm already in love. I'm a college student in Eugene and I'm just barely starting out on my journey with photography.
I might just have to show up at the next photo shoot! I am probably way behind the learning curve compared to most of the people who would be there, but I think it would be really fun anyway.

Hello,
I was forwarded the info about the PDX strobist group by Ken. Looking forward to the next meeting on the 27th. Not sure if any offical RSVP has been required or not but I will be there. The ideas so far look great.
Looking forward to learning and meeting you all.
Aaron

Ok everyone, what's the plan for this next meet up/shoot? Do we want to have a topic or is the mass hysteria and group gaggle acceptable? I need to know so i can make arrangements.
Thanks!

This probably isn't a helpful answer - but I am open to either option. Since you are so kind to open up your studio to us, whatever is the most convenient option for you works for me...
The mass hysteria was fun and seemed to work well, but a specific topic would be interesting as well...

Count me in for the next meetup on the 27th. I have a friend who is one of the ladies of Portland's professional Roller Derby circuit and is willing to model. I searched flicker and found a similar group here:
www.flickr.com/photos/bayareaderbygirls/sets/721576021087...
May I ask her to come in and have a set for her? I was thinking we could do a sport magazine cover look theme or something edgey/artsy fartsy. I would like suggestions in posing and lighting the shot.
Thanks, Nuel.

ShutterCraze,
Yes I think you should. Interesting subjects are part of what makes this kind of thing fun for me. I plan (if all goes well) on bringing my friend and sometime model Cat. Instead of posing she wants to do make-up on a model she'll bring with her and then maybe do a little shooting.
Basically, I'm for anything that sounds both fun and worthwhile.

So I'm definitely going to be at this shoot. I found another strobist reader at the U of O and we're going to car pool up to be there on Sunday.
How do these things go? Does everyone take turns at the tripod, or what? I'm guessing it's mostly made up along the way.
I'm excited to take part in all this!
On a side note, I've only been into Strobist for a couple weeks now, and I made a DIY ringflash today and it absolutely amazing. Photos will be on my stream shortly.

eyeRmonkey,
I for one would like to encourage you to bring your ringflash. Last time we had no precise program and everything worked out pretty well. Hopefully it will be the same on the 27th. The main thing was that everyone was pretty down-to-earth and willing to explain and share their techniques.

Please make sure to bring your own flashes, light stands, pocket wizards/sync cords, etc. I believe it's best to learn on your own equipment...Though there's nothing wrong with trying out other peoples cool new lens, flash, flash modifiers, etc (with permission of course) to help your shot..I just think it's best to shoot with what you have for experience sake of setting up your lights, thinking the shot through with your lights, breaking them down, moving them, etc...
Also a reminder: Make sure to label your equipment with contact info (ie. pocket wizards, flashes, light stands)

Awesome, sounds good. I'm looking forward to it, hopefully I can work out my transmitter issues before this weekend.

Since I didn't attend the last one, and I'm kind new to the group I'm curious to see if folks think it would be totally lame to do name tags? I for one, will admit I'm slightly introverted and name tags would be cool. I'm happy to pick some sticky ones up if any one else thinks it would work. If not, I'm cool.

I absolutely hate the things but you know what, It probably is a good idea and I would wear one if everyone else did.

Totally not offended if it is voted down, just an idea. One more no vote and I won't worry about picking any up.

I already bought name tags for this event. It was something that I wanted to do last time but didn't have time. It's great to be able to know everyones name and Flickr id so you don't say "Hey you!" all afternoon.
Great minds think alike!

I was not at the meet last time so I have to ask what kind of location is this? I keep looking at the threads and don't see any info. House, warehouse, office? Should we be dressed for bad weather or will we be indoors? Thanks

It's in my studio so you don't have to worry about wind / rain. However, if you aren't actually in the studio (in the halls, stairwell, etc.) you'll want a warm coat. If the weather is nice some people may be shooting outdoors but that's your call.
It's a modified warehouse (2nd / top floor)
