Hey there, Digital Image and Video enthusiasts,

It’s Digital Image Group time again—time for our 35th meeting ever! Attached you will find some samples taken from last month’s DIG meeting.

Tomorrow night, March 17th beginning at 6:30 P.M. you are invited to attend our third DIG meeting of 2011 which will be held in the Parish Hall on the left side of St. Julian’s Episcopal Church here in Douglasville.

The admission is free with a suggested donation (not required) of $2 per person or $3 per family to help us pay for the meeting space rental.

We usually provide drinks but you are welcome to bring some refreshments to share with the group.

At this meeting, there will 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. Our group is for beginners as much as it is for advanced digital illustrators and videographers.

Note that Natalia Fuller’s pictures-- which are part of the February, 2011 DIG album-- have all been combined via her smart phone using a website called Photofunia.

Here is our agenda for this month’s get-together:

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, March 17th.

Where: St. Julian’s Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 5400 Stewart’s Mill Road, Douglasville GA 30135

Admission is Free. A donation of $2 per individual or $3 per family is suggested but not required. Any money collected is used to help us pay for the monthly rental of St. Julian’s Parish Hall.

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 motivated 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 on jump drives, CDs, DVDs or camera cards (jpegs, Photoshop image files or prints) to show as you can fit into 10 to 12 minutes, or bring videos in any format 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!
