Fall '08 - 1st Meeting: 21 October 2008

Welcome back, students.

At the meeting on Tuesday we decided a name for our show at the Northrup King. In keeping with the theme of diptychs, the name of our show is "Diplopia."

Wikipanion gives this info on dipolopia: Diplopia, commonly known as double vision, is the simultaneous perception of two images of a single object.

The deadline to submit images for the show is 28 November. The show date is 4 December. Anyone in the program can contribute any number of diptychs for the show. The Photo Club will be printing postcards for the event and submitting press releases to the local monthlies and weeklies.

At the meeting we also saw work by Brian Ulrich. Ulrich gave a talk at Ai a few quarters ago, and will be speaking at the Midwest SPE Conference in November.

We also introduced two contests: BluDomain's contest for photographers photographing themselves with a peace sign, and the 29th Annual College Photography Contest, sponsored by the magazine Photographer's Forum.

The next meeting will be week six, same room (319 - the lighting studio) at 5 pm. I was talking about maybe implementing meetings every week, and alternating days for those of you who have class or work Tuesday evenings. Let me know what days/times will work best for these alternate meetings. I'd like to get more involvement than what we have now.

Thanks guys. Hope to see some images for our show.

President
