I believe the cost is something like $500 or more.. I wanted so much to go to this but its a bit high
Oh nice, thanks for the info L. I will definitely try to get to it! Sounds a nice panel of people indeed.
Oh, wow. Boston’s an easy trek for me, and I’d love to go. But if it really is $500 or so like Nika says, I can’t really throw that much at a conference right now. I’d rather throw it at a tripod and some lights.
Seeing as how I’m about to graduate from the place, I don’t really feel like sticking around. But this seems interesting enough to stick around to see.
Honestly, this University continues to suprise me. I’m in the hospitality program, and haven’t even heard about this. Hopefully they’ll give recent-grads a discount…
I would like to post to your pages. But I do not
know how. I go to Flickr and I type in “Still Life with . . and get a ton of still life groups, but not the right one. Can some one help me. radish
