BiNaturist Jamaica Plain, MA Post #: 72	Hello All, I wanted to share this info on an event happening this summer. It's called the 'Eastern Naturist Gathering', a nude/clothing optional event that takes place in Lenox, MA which is out in the Berkshires area. It is a 6 day event, but it is not neccessary to attend all 6 days. Here's the link: http://www.naturistso... Just underneath the photo at the top of that page and between the 2 on the sides, it will read "Check out the PRELIMINARY Schedule of Events!" (http://www.naturistso.... Click on that link, and if you read what is planned, you will see that on Thursday there is a figure drawing workshop, and later that day and again Friday night there are photography workshops, and a Photoshop for Beginners workshop. The organizer of the photo workshop sends prints to the models that participate. This can help build portfolios. I have been to this event before (my profile picture was taken there), and I can safely say that there are no additional fees connected with these workshops. Photographers can bring thier own cameras. Artists can bring thier own paper and pastels/pencils. Modeling is done purely on a volunteer basis, so you pose only when you want or as much as you want. The outcome can help build your portfolios, and at the same time, you can make connections, have a mini-vacation, and just relax the rest of the time. I plan on going again this year and will be heading out on the Tuesday of that week. I say this in case anyone reading this would feel more comfortabel going with someone, rather than go alone.
