Travel and Photography DO?
Even thought about a travel and photography DO?
Pick a theme and place(s) exchange some ideas, tips and tricks.
what are your thoughts?
I've heard of guided photography tours.. why not have a DO.

How about the Desert DO 2008? A long weekend of photography in some of the most amazing landscapes in the southwest United States, with a full moon to boot.

your backyard... not literally... but you know what I mean.
in NYC: Sunrise, sunset and night shots in and around NYC.

Thanks to Jassy-50 for alerting me to this thread.
I'm interested, am pretty flexible and am on the west coast. When not traveling, I'd be able to make it to SBA/MRY/SJC/SFO/OAK/SMF.
The Desert DO would be great, but let's try to get together before then. Even micro-Dos. Here's where I'll be in 2007:
Oct 25 - 29 PBI DO
Nov 1 - 5 NYC
Nov 8 - 15 ZQN DO
cpx and I can have a micro-DO during ZQN along with anyone else interested.
Yes, I had thought of a photog DO with the flickr group but never posted my idea. I thought I'd look like a big ol' dork. Thanks, cpx!

I'm up for something like that - I did a workshop around Moab over Memorial Day and it was fun, although exhausting (sunset was around 9:00, morning meetings were 4:45).
I was thinking about a trip down to West Virginia during the fall leaf season, if anyone is in the area. It looks like a nice overnight drive from PIT. I also have these to dig through and plan at some point:

http://www.photographamerica.com/issue97.htm
Actually, the issue list - http://www.photographamerica.com/backissu.htm - is a good source of ideas. I can't share the actual documents, but I can help plan a trip based on their contents.

Also a great place for fall colors is Ithaca, NY

I love the idea of some FT Photo DOs!
Hmmm, NYC in early Nov. might be doable. Maybe I can come up with a business reason to be there
.
I can always find a business reason to be in DC, so DC/VA in the spring (alas, I already have travel plans for Oct. so will miss the fall foliage this year) would be a great idea! While the cherry blossoms in DC are indeed awesome, the spring bloom throughout North and Central VA can be equally spectacular.
Another great locale for spring foliage (as well as great architecture) is the Charleston/Savannah area.

You are right! Also, Saratoga Springs, Bennington VT and just about the whole Hudson Valley. Hubby and I did that one year. Wow! It was spectacular! Too bad I only had an APS camera at the time......... Well, guess that just means I'll have to go back!!

Well, if the shoe fits... 
Convenient except hotel rates are outrageous! I'll be spending a chunk of (most of my) Hilton points for my 4nt stay in November.
