Went to it this past Spring and it was fantastic with some outstanding workshops.

A bit pricey, but wow the number of fantastic photographers in attendance.

Still have not decided if I am going again this next time around, but seriously thinking about it.

Have you submitted work?

The price seems hight at ~ $50 a day, but how else do they cover the expenses and get a profit? Do they have there own space or do they have to rent? Same with staff.

Museums that have massive audiences and cendowments can make the entrance fee lower. Come to the Getty, it's free!

Still, it would be better for photography if the price was more like $20 for the whole thing!

To what extent do you think this might be a tourist event to make a lot of money?
