Mid-Atlantic Photo Ops Calendar

I have set up a calendar to describe photographically interesting opportunities centered in the U.S. mid-atlantic region (VA, MD, DC, PA, WV, DE and NC).
www.my.calendars.net/photoops
Anyone can read the calendar and display details about the events. However, if you would like to help load the calendar with events PM me and I will provide a userid and password.

There are multiple categories...

Animals - horse racing, dog shows, pet expos, etc
Aquatic Sports - kayaking, swimming, diving, etc
Athletics - individual and team HUMAN athletic sports or competitions
Aviation - air shows, ballooning, model airplanes, etc
Festivals and Fairs - art festivals, renaissance fairs, county/state fairs, etc
Historical - reenactments, period demonstrations, etc
Meetings - gathering of photo enthusiasts, photo club meetings, etc
Motor Sports - motorcycle, auto, speedboat racing, etc
Performing Arts - concerts, theatre, etc
Political Events - protests, marches, political speeches, etc
Recreation - non-competative events such as motorcycle rallies or sports car drive-ins
Studio Sessions - mostly aimed at modeling shoots
Velo Sports - bicycle racing of any type

If you have a suggestion for another category or a clarification of an existing one let me know.

Hopefully this will provide "one-stop shopping" for figuring out shooting opportunities that interest you and your fellow photographers in the mid-atlantic region.

Mike

Awesome idea Mike! And fyi, I'm going to be down at the "Historic Half" in Fredricksburg Sunday (Marine Corps Half Marathon). Hubby's running and I'll of course be there with camera. If anyone else will be there please pm me and we'll meet up!

I just spend a lot of time on the internet looking for events and the like. I just figured it'd be nice to concentrate it and share it in an easy to find location. Hope you find it useful. Feel free to tell me about events you know about in the mid-Atlantic region and I will be glad to add them.
