Reminder, in case you hadn’t seen it, the Library show is canceled. They will keep us in mind for next years schedule.
We are on the schedule for the Olivedale photography show for the weekend of September 11th and 12th. Set up will be on Thursday September 9th after 3.
We discussed possibly using the categories we had set for the Spring 2020 show that we had to cancel. I looked that up the minutes. Those categories were: Parks and Rec, Plants, Animals, Landscapes, Portraits, and Black and White. Do we want to stick with those?
We are also signed up for the Fairfield County Fair.
Pine Lake Fireworks are July 2nd. Do we want to do this as a club event? Because of issues getting a workshop set up we talked after the meeting and thought maybe we could do some sparklers, bubbles, smoke photography workshops at the fireworks if there is interest.
Workshop – The June 5th day wasn’t working to get a venue. Kamal has communicated with Dawes arboretum and if we can find a weekend that works for them and us we can get the shelter for $75 that would allow up to 30 people entrance to the park and use of the shelter. They do require that each photographer sign a release that states you cannot profit off of your pictures. We may look into doing something there later in the year, as June didn’t seem to work for people.
John said he will share some printing deals he has had for 16×20 canvases.
Don’t forget to work on your Scavenger hunt photos. Taken April, May, June and due July 1st:
Rain/Waterdrops, Nature, Spring Flowers, Fast Shutter, Trapped, Lines, Open this Quarter
I will set up the online entry in mid June.
