OK, I've had some photographers from the LA area ask me if I could arrange for a fun shoot in the Monterey Bay Area. I do have an underwater camera that can be used for scuba diving that I'm also wanting to try out. I have models here who own their own horses and ride. There are others who swim or even dive too. But the idea of using the Wildthings and VisionQuest ranch is very appealing! I need to add some edge to my photography and wonder if there is enough interest in a adventure photo shoot? I'll do some price checking, but look at these links to learn more about the area ...

If you are a model who is VERY adventurous, or a photographer who would like to get pictures that are unlike anything you can get in your normal environment ... well e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll start working on organizing this! Of course the cost is going to be a factor, so the first thing I must do is see just how much it will take in dollars then get back to you all as to if it will be worth while or not.  But it sounds like an exciting idea to me!

Sincerely,
Patrick

Gee I wish you were on the West Coast because I think you'd be up for some adventure as long as you were not in danger of losing a hand! That reminds me that I also have to check into insurance ... but I've produced music concerts before, it can't be much worse can it?

Hi Mindy, honestly I know that cats are not good animals to go running with ... have you ever tried running with your "pet" house cat? There is a reason we run with our dogs! LOL  Now if you are talking about other animals, I'll have to look into that to see if there are any that it would be possible. Not a likely thing though ... running is a defensive thing that animals and people do mainly to escape being eaten. Worth asking though!

OK, I'm on the phone today doing some research as to what it would cost to set up a group photo with an exotic setting, models and animals. I know that omp is having a "beach shoot" here on the West Coast, so I wonder about the potential of someone liek me setting this sort of thing up for members here? Also is this the appropriate place on the forum for this?
