Hello, Digital Image and Video enthusiasts, It’s Digital Image Group time again—time for our 32nd meeting ever! Tonight, December 15th beginning at 6:30 P.M. you are invited to attend our final DIG meeting of 2010 which will be held in the Parish Hall on the left side of St. Julian’s Episcopal Church here in Douglasville. We will have a number of issues to discuss, including a brief mention of the future funding for DIG. We need your thoughts and advice concerning whether we should charge a yearly membership fee similar to that of the Sweetwater Camera Club, considering that our meeting space cost is approaching $500 per year. Your input will be quite valuable in our decision process. If you cannot attend, please feel free to reply to this message with any thoughts you have on the matter. At this meeting, there will also be discussions, digital slide presentations, videos and some break time to get to know other digital visual artists and wannabes . . . Bring friends and family members with you if you like. You are also encouraged to bring any pictures and/or videos that you would like to show. Please check out our on-line gallery of over 5000 images located at http://www.digitalimagegroup.org/photo/index.php?folder=/2010/ Here is our agenda: What: Digital Image Group Meeting When: 6:30 P.M. till we are done (you don’t have to be on time and you can leave when you need to go). Thursday evening, December 15th. Where: St. Julian’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 5400 Stewart’s Mill Road, Douglasville GA 30135 Admission is Free. A donation of $1 is accepted but not required. Any money collected goes to help us pay for the monthly rental of the Parish Hall. Richard and Norma Nichols foot the bill for any costs not covered by donations. You become a member as soon as you come to a meeting. Part 1 starts at 6:30 and runs until 8 p.m. It will consist of shorter presentations and discussions. Part 2 is a 20 minute informal social break from 8 p.m. until 8:20 p.m. -- Chat with participants and attendees. Bring your camera, accessories, prints etc. and ask questions, meet new people, make some friends. Part 3 starts at 8:20 p.m. and remains open-ended: it goes until the last person has presented. Longer presentations and demonstrations are usually presented later in the evening during Part 3. You may leave at any time, once you reach “information overload” status. Everyone wishing to show their work will get the opportunity, so there is no formal ending time—as long as the presenters and audience last. This is your chance to enjoy visual arts in a highly condensed discussion group. If your schedule won’t allow you to make it to part 1, plan on coming to part 2 or 3 of the evening or any time in-between. Bring as many of your images (jpeg or Photoshop image files or prints) to show as you can fit into 10 to 12 minutes, or bring videos up to 12 minutes in length. We give you the floor for your moments of fame. At the 10 minute mark, a chime will sound and you have 2 more minutes to wrap it up. A few presentations may last longer depending upon the need and interest of the presenter and group. Hope to see you at DIG! Richard |
