General Information

What are the Institute’s office hours?

Monday thru Friday, 9AM to 5PM, Eastern time

How do I contact the Institute?

See the Contact Us page of this website.

Why do you insist on an email address when I try to add my name to your mailing list?

At this time, other than mailings related to workshop registration, all of our communication with our mailing list takes place via email. The situation will stay this way for the foreseeable future as a major factor in our ability to keep our workshop costs down is our reluctance to generate expensive printed material and do postal mailings.

I wish there were workshops taking place closer to my area. How can I make this happen?

We are always looking to expand our workshop offerings into new areas. If you know of a venue that you think would be a good place to hold a workshop, please contact us. We'd be excited to look into the possibility.


Workshop Information

How do I register for one of your workshops?

See the Registration page on this website.

What if I want to bring my spouse (or partner) along?

Spouses/partners are welcome to take meals with the group and may, with permission of the instructor, go along on selected field trips as long as they don't do any shooting. Classroom sessions (including lectures, presentations, critiques, etc.) are not open to any guests.

When is the new workshop schedule released?

The full workshop schedule is released near the beginning of each calendar year. Sometimes we add workshops during the year and will do a mailing then also.

Are your workshops for digital camera users only?

No. Unless the workshop description specifies that the workshop is intended for digital users film users should have no problems taking the workshop. We’d be happy to answer any specific questions you may have about the suitability of one of our workshops to your interests.

Will I receive any more information after registering?

Yes, you will receive a confirmation letter by mail, along with an invoice if there is a remaining balance that must be paid.

The rest of the information concerning the workshop is contained in the Registration Info Packet. This packet is available for download in PDF format from the web page associated with the specific workshop.

How can I pay for my workshop?

You may pay by major credit card or check. Checks must be made out to ‘Adirondack Photography Institute’ and mailed to the address shown on the Contact Us page of this website.

If you decide to pay your deposit by check we will hold your workshop space for 10 days pending arrival of your check. If we have not received your check within this time we will remove your name from the registration list until your check arrives.

You may pay by credit card by either calling us or by using PayPal. To use PayPal simply go to www.paypal.com, click 'Send Money' and follow the directions. You will send money to billing@adkpi.org.

The workshop I'm interested in is full. What can I do?

Always put your name on the waiting list. Cancellations do happen and sometimes the waiting list is the only way you'll ever get into certain workshops.

What airports are the most convenient for coming to the Adirondacks?

Syracuse Hancock International (SYR) and Albany International (ALB) are the airports nearest to the Adirondacks.

The workshop that I'm interested in takes place at The Woods Inn Conference Center, yet the suggested lodging is Deer Meadows. Why is this?

The Woods Inn is a very popular spot for weddings and other events. The conference center is in a separate building on the property. When the hotel-proper has been reserved for an event we need to obtain lodging somewhere else near by.


Lodging Information

Are there other options for lodging in addition to the recommended accommodations shown on the workshop pages?

Yes, see our alternate lodging page here.
