13th Annual Star Island Photo Retreat
September 9-12, 2010
Members of the New Hampshire Society of Photographic Artists will journey to
Star Island
again for our annual four-day immersion in fine art photography. This unique
weekend program is an opportunity to share your work with other film based and
digital fine art photographers. We welcome non-members too!
Participants offer various short programs, and a special guest photographer will
present an evening program and workshop. Members of the
International Association of Panoramic Photographers
have been invited to join us this year. We have arranged
to visit Appledore Island and Celia Thaxter's unique 19th century garden, and you
have the option of rowing to nearby Smuttynose Island.
Forty-six acre Star Island is located ten miles off the coast of New Hampshire.
It is the second largest of the nine islands that make up the Isles of Shoals and
its historic 19th century Oceanic House and adjacent buildings become the village
home for thousands of visitors each summer. Guest rooms are simple and shared
bathrooms are down the hall. Motel units have two twin beds and a half bath.
Morning coffee is served on the porch and the hotel has a snack bar, gift shop,
and bookstore.
All meals are included, and one night we offer an optional lobster dinner
(additional fee), and, because there is no bar, BYOB and snacks to share at
social hours before dinners.
Sign up early to reserve your room, as space is limited. Last year we had
to turn away people who wanted to register at the last minute.
Note: If you have attended this prograqm in the last couple of years
and you recruit a new person to register, you will each get 10 percent off your
room and board cost, a savings $30-40. You can bring up to 5 new people and get
10% off for each one! Room and board rates this year are the same as last year.

Note: This year we are leaving from Portsmouth aboard the M.V. Thomas Laighton.
From I-95, take exit 7 (Market Street); the wharf is about one mile on the left,
opposite the large Sheraton hotel. Plan to arrive about one-half hour before the
4:25 pm departure. We'll return to Portsmouth on Sunday at 4:45 pm. Parking is $10
per day and the boat fee is $44. The balance of room and board, boat, and parking
fees are paid on island. Credit cards, checks, and cash are accepted.
