Meeting: 11 November 2008

Hey dudes! Hoping your midterms are going well.

Photo Club had a meeting yesterday. Correction: Jorie, Ashley Miller and I had a meeting and Anthony Marchetti was nice enough to join us. =) No one's fault; midterm week was crazy, the majority of the officers were in Cleveland this weekend for SPE regional. Ads were not there, and we understand that. Anyway!...

Our show for Photo Club, "Diplopia", is set for December 4th! We have "the large space" in the Northrup King Building, as opposed to the "small space." So, this means:

1. Submissions, submissions, submissions! Get them to us, we want your work up on our walls!

2. No size limits! I've heard concerns expressed from students that they feel constrained by the 11x14 limit. We've abolished that. I (Evan) am planning on purchasing a roll of paper for my work, and if you want to get in on that, let me know.

3. Separate frames are totally cool! They can be the same image in one frame, or two separate frames. No restrictions here, either!

4. The only thing we want to regulate is the frames themselves. Any size, but we are looking for black frames, and white mats. The officers and I are going to IKEA for our own, and that means cheap stuff!

We would love your stuff about a week or so before the show so we can set up. Also, our refreshments are going as pot-luck-y, so if you submit work, please bring something snacky for our gallery browsers to munch on as they contemplate our AWESOME work.

I will post a PDF of our postcard design soon. Our description of our show is "Photographs that split the perception of a single concept into two distinct images."

Our featured website this week was Smashing Magazine, a great website that isn't necessarily focused on photography, but is very design-oriented and a good source of inspiration for artists such as ourselves. Our featured photographer was Anthony Goicolea, a photographer mentioned by Kelli Connell, a speaker at SPE that we saw, who references him in her own work.

Our next meeting will be Week 8, Tuesday evening at 5:00 pm. We will have adverts and e-mails this time, promise!

Peace Out,
Evan Pape
President
