A Gathering of Like-Minded Minds
I know there there are various informal meet-ups planned on a number of forums but thought some might find this idea interesting. Email Andrew Sanderson direct to register your interest or post to the link.

Sounds just a little bit too elitist to me, but as you say some may find it of interest.

Just a thought

My solution to home/work pressures as described is not to join something extra. Look forward to seeing some of the high quality work such collaboratons can engender, but FADU is enough for me just now. Best Wishes - |

Anyone that has spent any time with Andrew would know that he is as down to earth as any you're likely to meet - elitist is stretching things by a long way. The terms famous and semi famous a little unfortunate perhaps but this should not discredit what he is trying to do.

As one who has spent half a lifetime avoiding anything that suggests any form of restriction such as proposed for these events I am suspicious of anyone that wishes to control such meetings in the way Andrew appears to suggest. The meetings arranged through this forum, and indeed those that many here participated in under the APUG umbrella were, and remain, open to all; the famous, semi-famous, anonymous, and completely unknowns. But then I’m just an old cynic.

But restricted to film only - but then we are all cynics

I would agree with Carl; sadly I've only met Andrew once in person, but we have spoken at length over the 'phone and via email and he seems a very down to earth person, passionate about film based photography and very generous of his time. I know he is, like many (all?) on FADU, concerned about the lack of commitment shown by many towards film and darkroom practice and I feel this is his way to address some of these concerns.

That's true, but that's where our interests here lie, and since anyone with similar interests is encouraged to join in I don't think our aims or operation are in anyway elitist. People don't apply to join FADU in the accepted sense, they just turn up and participate when, and if they wish, and that applies just as much to our physical meetings as these here on-line; you don't have to rely on receiving an invite to attend.
