Our last competition of the year is on Wednesday, October 21 in the Fellowship Hall (under the main sanctuary). We meet at 6:30 PM, after the WOW dinner that starts at 5:45 PM in the gym.
The competition theme is Street Scenes: “slice of life” photos of city or town scenes and the people that live there. Please limit the photos to those taken in the last two years. As always we are able to enter three photos in color, back and white or an artistic treatment. They should be 8x10 or larger, matted or not matted. Also, remember to mark the orientation of the photo by writing “top” on the top side.
Future Events:
Our last field trip for 2009 will to Berry College in Rome, GA on Saturday,
Nov. 7. Berry College is Eliza’s alma mater, and it’s a beautiful school with two unique campuses. I believe it is considered the largest “land-mass” college in the world. Eliza will have more information at the club meeting (when and were to meet, etc.).
Berry College scenes
After our November 18 club meeting the club leaders will hang an exhibit of the members photographs.
- Each club member can exhibit up to 5 photos 8x10 in size or larger. The photos need not have been in one of our competitions, and they can be of any theme as long as they are appropriate to hang in a church environment.
- Photos must be matted if they are 8x10 or 11x14’s. Large photos don’t have to be matted, but must be mounted to a board to provide support.
- All photos need to have hooks or hook and wires. We’re providing the wall hooks, but we need you to deliver your photos “ready to hang.”
Mark this one on your calendar! Jim Underwood is hosting our Christmas Social at his home in Hiram. You are allowed 1 guest, but no children. No need to bring anything, and we will not exchange gifts. We’re gathering for a good time and a relaxing evening of food and camaraderie. Of course you can always bring your camera!
It’s important that we all RSVP to Jim by email.
