WordCamp Denver & Photo Safari are a go!

Jan 20, 2009 4 Comments

Since roughly August of last year, some friends and I have been trying to put together a photo safari along the lines of MammothMen.com. The main difference being, those guys are a bunch of really great photographers and we are, well, noobs. But, you can’t get to be as awesome as they are unless you get your ass out there and shoot a lot of photos. So, we started planning a trip. Then, something would come up and the date would get moved. Then moved again. And again, and again. So, I hatched a plan. Let’s set a date several months in the future. This way, it would be on our calendars already and any new plans would have to be scheduled around it. The dates we chose were in the middle of February. Then, along comes WordCamp: Denver and Doug has an even better idea… “Let’s move the safari back one week and make the trek to Denver for WordCamp.” Done and done!

After a little coaxing of the wife, the plan is set. Doug, Todd and I will set out on what what we are calling Photo Safari 09. Destination, WordCamp:Denver. As with anything worth doing, it’s worth doing as geeky as possible. Therefore, in addition to all the Wordcamp related tweets and blog posts along the way, you’ll also be able to follow along with our photo safari antics at PhotoSafariNoobs.com. The site is currently in the planning stages, but I expect great things over the next 6 weeks or so.

If you’d like to see the course we plan on taking to get to Denver, you can find it here on Google Maps. You can follow our tweets using this handy link to the hashtag search at #psn09 on twitter.

Currently there is one seat remaining in the vehicle. We are now accepting applications (and bribes) for those who may be interested in joining on this historic journey of geekery. Please announce your willingness and reasons we should pick you to join us in the comments below.
