Judged Show:
Our Judged Show is coming up at the end of March. It’s time to start working on preparations. I have added a page dedicated to the show. See it here.
Photo Club Meeting:
Our next Photo Club Meeting will be Jan 26th. Roger Boe will be doing a presentation about critiquing. He will be teaching us how to look at photographs to learn what works well in them and what we might want to do that would improve them. Please bring an image, either on jump drive or a print, that we can use as examples.
We will follow that up with a show-&-tell / critiquing session on Feb 23rd. Please bring two or three images to show. We will see how many we can get through, so we will probably do one or two from each person, then if there is time, we will do a third from each.
Christmas Party !!
We had our Christmas Party at Donna and Roger Boe’s house. It was a great party with more good food than we could figure out what to do with and wonderful company and conversation.
John Bunker asked to pass the Art Center Key on to someone else after two years of great work and leadership. Larry Petersen was elected President with Herman Garcia as Vice President. Wayne Rhoden will continue as Secretary/Treasurer, Becky Petersen will keep setting up programs for us, and Ruth Moorhead will keep leading our First Saturday Photo Safari.
We had some discussion about the Juried Show and what changes we might want to make to see if we can make it even better than it has been. We didn’t come to any decisions there, but decided to have a committee gather to work on it. There are a few people who have agreed to be on that committee, but others are welcome too. If you would like to help with that, please let Bea, John, or Larry know. If you don’t have our information, you can use the Contact Us page of this website.
Art Center Art Exhibit at the Idaho State Capital
The Pocatello Art Center has an exhibit at the Idaho State Capital. The title of the exhibit is “Spirit of Eastern Idaho”. It is hanging in the Capital building. We recently visited it and took photos of the exhibit. You can see them in the Capital Exhibit Gallery.
World Wide Photo Walk:
The Fourth Annual World Wide Photo Walk was held October 1. We went to the ISU Quad and enjoyed that area. We got to watch the sun come over Red Hill. That was a fun thing to see and an interesting challenge to try to capture.
You can see some of the images in the 2011 World Wide Photo Walk Gallery.
There is a Flickr group for this year’s walk so people can upload their images. You can watch it over time as people post more images to it.
You can also check out Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk site to see where Walks were held and see last year’s winners. Over time people will put up images from this year and the winners will be chosen.
