At the April 15th, 2010 meeting of the Digital Image Group, Joe and Bess Orenzow of Orenzow Video Productions presented this 25 minute salute to the heroic public servants in Douglasville and Douglas County, Georgia.
Karen Cross Moline, of Karen Cross Ministries in Douglas County, narrates and illustrates what one person can do to bring publicity, honor and praise to those in our community who serve us and protect us from harm. The Orenzows have composed a number of vignettes depicting events in the lives of these important men and women. The video is accompanied by interviews with citizens who have directly benefitted from their efforts.
As I indicated at recent meetings of the Digital Image Group and the Sweetwater Camera Club-- and in recent emails, the Digital Image Group has been awarded the opportunity to have rotating permanent displays in two downtown Douglasville buildings, specifically, the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce at 6658 Church Street and the Douglas County Development Authority building at 8512 Bowden Street. YEAHHHHHHHHH!
Opportunity Knocks: For those of you who are not familiar with these buildings, the DC Chamber building on Church Street is a few doors down from City Hall on Church Street on the opposite side of the street, on the hill between Regents Bank and United Community Bank. The Douglas County Development Authority, located in a historic home on Bowden Street, is just across from the Douglas County Sentinel building.
Special Announcement: Kallie Boatright, the president of the Douglas County Chamber of Commerce has invited the Digital Image Group to create a permanent “rotating” display of images inside the Chamber Building in downtown Douglasville. This is a LARGE and very visible undertaking which will require between 35 to 50 framed images from our group which will hang on the walls there. If you are a DIG member and you have presented some of your work during meetings over the past 2 years, you will receive first priority in displaying your work.
In this video, presented to the Digital Image Group on February 18th, 2010, nature photographer Jim Enterkin uses PhotoDex ProShow Producer and royalty-free classical music to showcase his flower and bird photography. This multimedia presentation serves as a reminder that Spring in Georgia is right around the corner. Turn up the music and enjoy . . .
Not everything that shows up on the doorstep of the Digital Image Group is serious - sometimes our members make little movies just for fun, without rhyme or reason. Here we have a slice of life over at the Stansel residence captured a week or two before Christmas.
Some of us are old enough to respect the energy it takes for the dad in this episode to handle 2 extremely energetic little daughters. Natasha, the author of this show is on sabbatical from our group while she studies to become an art educator. She has been one of our cheerleaders. She emailed us this little snippet recently to remind us that she hopes to return to DIG. Thanks, Stansel Ninjas!
Temple Georgia hosts a spectacular world-famous 5 minute Christmas Parade every year and this year was no exception. It appears that Santa comes very early in the procession followed by a joyful automobile, truck, freight train and boat cavalcade.
One thing is certain: the ceremony doesn't last long enough for anyone to catch pneumonia from the cold. Michael Barrett has captured the essence of the nostalgic 2009 Christmas Season starring those that hold this festive village dear.
It's time to light some joss sticks, bang on some tablas and put on your exotic indian clothes, lay your sitar aside for a few minutes and get into some Yogic and Mantra meditation along with Frank: Om Namah Shivaya, Manasika Japa
From October 4th through October 8th, 2006, the city of Cincinatti hosted their sixth Tall Stacks celebration populated by 16 riverboats such as the Belle of Cincinatti, the Mississippi Queen, the Delta Queen and the General Jackson. Tall Stacks is a one-of-a-kind festival that takes place in Cincinatti every three or four years since it began in 1988 as part of the city's 200th birthday celebration.
Jane Cupp, who is a member of both the Digital Image Group and the Sweetwater Camera Club here in Douglasville, attended this celebration. She offers up an 11 minute salute to the great paddlewheel riverboat tradition with this video slideshow punctuated by some knockout Dixieland Jazz.
With the technical aid of his dad Michael in bringing this video to the silver computer screen, 10 year old Joseph Barrett of Temple Georgia has captured the joys of canine companionship. These doggies obviously love playing with each other and are exhuberant in their "horse play." Enjoy . . .
