Image Review Night @ Usual Meeting Location
Mar 23 @ 7:30 pm – Mar 23 @ 9:30 pm

Optional theme:  Blur

Please join us for our monthly image review night. This is a great opportunity to share your work with other artists and receive useful feedback. Feel free to ask for our thoughts in specific areas, or to seek general impressions of your artwork. Some of our artists bring more than one variation of a piece, or several stages of a work-in-progress. Let us know what you’re seeking, and we’ll do our best to provide it.

The “optional theme” for each meeting is just that … optional. Some of our members enjoy finding or creating images that fit the theme, while other members have specific images or projects that they would like feedback on. Whatever works for you is fine.

Our general guideline is that each artist may bring up to 8 images for a typical review. Prints are encouraged, as this is the best way to see an artwork as its maker envisions it. Digital images are (of course) welcome, on USB memory sticks and a variety of other digital media. If you bring more than eight images, we’ll need to go through them quickly. If you want to spend more time discussing an image, just bring fewer. We want to make sure everyone has time to present their work.

Our digital display is 1920 x 1080 resolution. You may want to optimize your image for this size, though our display software will scale your image if it is larger or smaller. The JPG file format is preferred, to keep file size down and ensure compatibility with our software.

If you are new to the group or have any questions, please let me know. We look forward to seeing you and your photographs.

Apr 27 @ 7:30 pm – Apr 27 @ 9:30 pm

Tonight’s topic: Movie Night

Please join us for our annual Movie Night—we’ll be streaming a movie via Netflix.  You’re welcome to bring some refreshments to share with the group.  I’ll provide cups and paper goods.  You’re also welcome to bring your dinner with you if you wish.

The following movies feature the theme of photography in some way.  I’ve added some new movies that I recently became aware of, and removed ones that are no longer available.  Feel free to bring any other suggestions to the meeting.  We’ll choose one of the available options, based on a consensus of those who are attending.

  • Monk with a Camera (2014)
  • Through a Lens Darkly: Black Photographers (2014)
  • Bettie Page Reveals All (2012)
  • Time Zero: The Last Year of Polaroid Film (2012)
  • Bill Cunningham New York (2010)
  • Smash His Camera (2010)
  • In Robert Frank’s Footsteps (2009)

On previous Movie Nights we’ve watched Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus and Public Eye.  Please join us for an enjoyable evening.

Education Night @ Usual Meeting Location
Jun 8 @ 7:30 pm – Jun 8 @ 9:30 pm

Our member Brad Orner showed us some of his recent forays into time lapse video at a recent image review night, and we were intrigued by the results.  Time lapse videos are an interesting way to present the changes in a scene over time, and much of the same equipment we already use can be applied to this end.  Please join us on June 8 for an informal presentation where Brad will show us some of the time lapse videos he’s created and explain the tools he used to create them.  He’ll also share some tips and techniques to guide our own exploration into this arena.
