They are winterized right now, making it easy to say “no.” We do not normally allow our visitors to take flash photography during tours of the buildings, and we certainly would not give anyone free reign to the display area of a building without the curator (myself) present. An easy answer would be that photographers may arrange for a booking to do a shoot, but for a fee that covers, at the least, staff time. <br><br>My question is whether other organizations have a policy in place specifically for professional photographers wanting to use their display/exhibition/historic spaces for photography? Any input is very welcome, I’m at: <a href="mailto:curator@okeeferanch.ca">curator@okeeferanch.ca</a> <br><br>Thanks everyone, <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Carla-Jean Stokes <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><i>--<o:p></o:p></i></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>Curator <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'>250 542 7868 ext 204<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'><a href="mailto:curator@okeeferanch.ca"><span style='color:blue'>curator@okeeferanch.ca</span></a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://okeeferanch.ca/"><span style='color:blue;mso-fareast-language:EN-CA;text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=153 height=80 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D38607.C9DF8B40" alt="Okeefe_Logo_Stacked_Black cropped"></span></a><span lang=EN-US style='mso-fareast-language:EN-CA'> <br><b>O’Keefe Ranch Re-Opens May 2018 – Come Visit Us for the First Time Again! <o:p></o:p></b></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
