We will split the first week between Cortona and Siena. Our first stop will be in Cortona. We will spend a long week end there and then on the 14th drive over to Siena. There we will stay at the Hotel Almadomus which is a hotel run by a convent. We will depart there on May 20 and go to Florence. In both Siena and Cortona we will be able to see life in the smaller towns, go out into the surrounding country side and accomplish beautiful landscape work.The short trip between Cortona and Siena can be treated like a field trip so this change will not compromise much time. As far as meetings go we need to set a single time in the day or evening when everyone can usually be present. Monday evenings and Wednesday near mid day work best for David. I can meet most any evening and on M-E-F afternoons. Please send my your top 2 choices for a meeting time so that we can prepare a schedule of topics and meeting times for March and April. Once we get that settled, I will start a blog that all of us can participate in and it will be a place we can post our work and news while on the trip so your family and friends can see what you are doing.
For the non-photo majors, I would like to know how many want to get together for a review of basic photography principles and to go over your camera with you, so let me know this week if you want to do this. I would like to get all these details settled by spring break so we can relax and roll through the spring without a lot of stress. Ciao!
