\"\"<\/a>We have just returned from the NELFPC 2014 fundraiser and amazing photography weekend.\u00a0 Susan and I were extremely excited to be invited to participate in this year’s activities in Connecticut.\u00a0\u00a0 The New England Large Format Photography Collective (NELFPC) is an amazing group of the most dedicated photographers I have ever met.\u00a0 This is truly THE model for any other similar organization to take a very close look into.\u00a0 Rather than trying to explain further, let me quote from their web site;<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The New England Large Format Photography Collective formed from a small but diverse group of photographers in October of 2003 to advance the craft of traditional photography and educate others on its traditional processes. We embrace those with a passion for large format photography, and strive to provide inspiration for others practicing our craft.<\/em><\/h4>\n

We believe Large Format photographers are unique people using unique processes to create the highest quality prints. Simply stated, if you derive considerable enjoyment while viewing something “upside down and backwards” in the dark you are unique! We wish to network with others who embrace this oddity.<\/em><\/h4>\n

For more information on NELFPC, take a look at their Mission Statement<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is such a diverse and talented group. . . and I might add a light hearted, fun-loving bunch of really great people.\u00a0 Trying to explain exactly how enlightening this experience was is difficult to put into words.\u00a0 To be in the midst of so much beautiful photography, dedicated photographers and so much photographic talk, made this a truly inspiring event. \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

We began Thursday evening with a fundraiser, “Photographers Fighting Cancer.”\u00a0 This is a fine art event to benefit the Middlesex Hospital Cancer Center and is hosted by NELFPC at the Valentine H. Zahn Community Gallery located at the Middlesex Hospital Shoreline Medical Center.\u00a0 There were 80 Large Format photographs by 30+ LF photographers up for bids.\u00a0 Susan and I were proud to each donate one of our prints to this worthy organization and this was a really fun evening that was to kick off a long weekend of more and more photography.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\t\t
