News & Notes

Our next meeting will be October 7. This will be a VIRTUAL Education Meeting. Details on the next page.

NEW! If you are submitting images for the Challenge, Free For All or Show and Tell, you will now be submitting images to Joann Long (JKLong@rochester. rr.com) one week before the meeting. We are hoping that by sending all images to one person, we will simplify the submission process for all members. For November, please submit images no later than October 28. Please be courteous and follow deadlines, as it may be difficult for Joann to download images the day of the meeting.

Challenge:

Our next Guild photo Challenge will be “Dirt”. For our November Meeting you are Challenged to create 1 or 2 abstract images.

In review, the Guild Challenge is intended to motivate members to create one or two new images that interpret the subject we present. It may move us out of our routine comfort zone or emphasize an important element of composition. It is intended to make us creatively see and think. Reworked archival images are not appropriate. If you accept the Challenge, it may lead to new perspectives and skill sets. It is not intended to be easy.

Show and Tell:

Send up to 5 of your favorite images from the Fall, for sharing. The Show and Tell segment of the meeting is intended to give members a chance to share with one another about the how and why of their best work. It should go beyond simply showcasing your most recent work, but really help us to learn from your techniques, and help us to understand how the images were made. Alternatively, members may

submit ONE image for a critique by members, in lieu of sharing five images.

Free For All:

Our current FFA image is supplied by Charlie Cappellino. You can find this image in the Dropbox folder that Joy has set up for members (click here). Take your best shot at editing the image and email your revised image to Joann Long before the next meeting.

ProSeries:

Change of plans! As with all things 2020, our intended ProSeries workshop with Chris Murray has been put on hold for the time being. FLCC is currently not accepting rental reservations, and we don’t yet know when they will be. We have been in contact with Chris, and he is fully in agreement to postpone the Subjective Landscape workshop until we can meet together again safely.

All is not lost though! Chris has volunteered to present a one-hour Zoom program, at no cost. Think of this as a primer for the full workshop, whenever that can be rescheduled for. The Zoom program has been scheduled for October 17, the same day that we were supposed to be meeting in person. The program will be one hour in length, from 10am-11am.

Once we are able to establish a new date for the full day ProSeries workshop with Chris, we will be sure to let all members know as soon as possible. 
