PhotoCamp{name your AU city}

By Nick Hodge | August 18, 2007

BarCamps and PodCamps are the new clubs and groups.

Very little structure, just people getting together at a location at a nominated time to share experiences in a common interest.

So I am thinking of starting/organising a PhotoCamp somewhere in Australia. Similar structure to the upcoming BarCampSydney

Current thoughts:

What do you think? Comment here, or email me. Better, pop into the Facebook group.

    We seem to be having a "camp" explosion at the moment. I know the new media dudes in Perth and the PiP would be very interested in this.

    Great idea - although in Canberra we have a fairly active flickr group with meets (organised shoots), mini-meets (cafe get-togethers) etc but for cities that don't have that, this would be great!

    actually, thinking about it, there is the Sydney Photo Bloggers group that meet quite regularly.. I'll let them know your plans too. It's just a bunch of "pros" (unlike me - a happy snapper thinking to get into photography) talking about stuff and taking pics.

    Vote me for Perth! Definitely PiP Flickr group would be interested - although like Nathaneal says, we already have heaps of meetups etc.

    Perhaps a format a bit like Pecha Kucha or WebJam. Short n snappy.

    Perth definitely. PIP would do a fantastic job hosting these... which they do all the time (+workshops and rural phototrips)
