Carl I had a quick look but other than its history and the fact that there is a landscape workshop on a weekend in April there was really little other content.
Will it cater for analogue photographers, I wonder? It said that there will be a critique for the photos taken on the landscape week-end and while this is still possible with a film based medium in the time frame of a weekend, it just struck me that this might allude to the fact that the participants are expected to have digital cameras allowing downloading and printing or projection in the time frame available.

All I can say is that the plan appears to be that they will run a full range of courses as they used too.

Presumably the former location wherever that was, is still its location and all the old analogue facilities( darkroom, enlargers etc) are still there or can be re-installed. Maybe it will persuade instructors like Les McLean and Tim Rudman to offer courses there. The possibilities are endless. Let's hope that the plan you mention above can be executed. Thanks Mike |

It's a rather unrevealing release, perhaps we can request a little more background to the new incarnation? If FADU had some more information it's in a good position to help the relaunch, and we would certainly do our bit at Silverprint. |

I just checked the sight again and found the following post:
Thanks to everyone for their best wishes and requests for more information. Final details will be released tomorrow evening (Friday 15th Jan). Will email everyone and post here. So, stand by. |

Well what a shame, it started so well, I read as far as:
"opportunity to see samples of work from the group members. You are invited to bring along 2 or 3 of your own edited digital photographs as jpeg files on a memory stick to be shown on a data projector." then nodded off. |

The Photographer's Place was always about photography, it mattered little what equipment and materials one used.
If they manage to recapture some of the spirit of those early days – doubtful perhaps, as we all felt like pioneers of a new age of 'real' photography – then the weekend would be worth it. You often learned as much from the other participants as you did from the tutors and I would be interested to see what kind of folk turned up to attend this reincarnation. There's every reason to hope that a successful relaunch on the back of digital could lead to courses that cater for specialist interests - like ours . The (very) few places that still offer traditional photography courses are always fully booked after all. An opportunity to spend time in the company of Paul Hill should always be considered a valuable one. I'm reasonably sure that he would not be talking pixels...
