New NorCal Meetup – San Gregorio State Beach

Last year I signed up during a special promotion to host a local Meetup group, Northern California Landscape, Nature & Travel Photographers. This was something I hoped and thought would be a fun opportunity to get out and meet and shoot with other like-minded photographer from around the area. I knew when I started the meetup-group that my schedule for much of my calendar year had been spoken for, and that’s continued longer than I anticipated. Between work, travel, personal, and family commitments, wrestling with the calendar has been a challenge, especially trying to do something without making it a commercial (money-making) venture.

Over the next few months, I have a few open dates that I’m finally able to put a meetup together, and am happy to announce the very first meetup, open to all photographers, all skill levels, as a no-fee social gathering which will take place at San Gregorio State Beach on Sunday, July 19, 2015. We’ll be meeting at 3:30 and staying through sunset. This is a casual, social meetup, not a photo workshop. Everyone is free to wander, shoot whatever catches their eye, share info and stories, and just have fun hanging out and shooting with other fun photographers.

You can find out more information about the San Gregorio Beach meetup, or join my meetup group here.

Here are some other images from San Gregorio to whet your photographic appetite:
