Just curious, how safe is the area to be around shooting on your own? I have heard various stories about safety/crime issues. Thanks for any input on this. Btw. keep up the great work, looks like an amazing place to shoot.

It's is both a remote and economically-depressed area, so my advice is to explore it as a group...

No lack of dedication in this group! Here is a group shot from this morning at about 6:30AM....but that was already three hours into our day :eek:. No :sleep006::sleep006::sleep006: when this group is chasing the light.

Love the teddy bear shots; the only thing missing is crime scene tape and white chalk outlines…:eek:

We had an amazing shoot this AM. Followed by breakfast in a VERY "local" restaurant. Candid portrait at breakfast.

Very Cool Jack , Terry and Bob .

As maybe mentioned earlier we got up extremely early drove about 1.5 hours just for one image. Sometimes you get lucky and get two. Regardless something we do very frequently on workshops is what i call chase the light. Bottom line the world is as bland looking as a piece of white bread unless you have great light. You will see many variations on this scene in the next week as folks process there images and i am still not so sure i got what I want yet myself. But the bottom line is we had amazing light for this scene.

Before the sunrise



At sunrise



Than 60 seconds later I nailed this one
