Pack list.

I have created this checklist for you below, along with a handy pdf that you can download, print off, and check items off as you pack, as well as with extra slots for anything personal not listed here.

Drones.

Drones provide us a unique perspective that is always interesting to see. During this workshop, we will attempt to dedicate some time (as the group desires) to talk through and capture stunning aerial imagery! If you do plan to bring your drone and participate, please be aware that each participant is responsible for his or her own legal compliance nationally, as well as locally. Andrew will do the research for the areas we will will cover during the workshop and will advise on when and where we can fly, but it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with national, state, and local laws. We will only fly if we get the opportunity to do so responsibly. For more info on Tennessee specifically, visit this website.

Last, but not least.

Destination photo workshops can be quite remote and sometimes dangerous. As a consequence, I ask each student to carefully consider the nature of what we will be doing, and require everyone to sign a liability agreement. I will do everything in my power to ensure a safe, healthy, and happy experience for everyone involved, however, accidents do happen. And we will be visiting some wild places.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Liability Agreement

I am aware that the courses and activities of the Slaton Workshop in which I am participating present certain risks including, but not limited to, bodily injury, death, illness, loss or damage to personal property, and other safety-related dangers. I further understand that these outdoor courses present inherent risks of personal injury or sickness, such as falling, falling rocks, wildlife attacks, getting lost, traveling in rough terrain, possible creek crossings, wild animals, forces of nature such as lightning strikes, absence of prompt medical attention, if needed, inadequately marked trails, camp injuries, giardia and infectious or stomach aliments, impure water, and travel by automobile or other conveyance.
