Refocus That Please - by Bill Moll

This month’s program will be club competition night, elections, and a workshop on printing stereo cards. Several of you haven't entered lately, so should have some really great material for the competition.  We will use the club judging process as used in January.  The competition is for both cards and Realist-format slides.  If you bring over/under cards, be sure to bring a viewer.

 

Steve and Suzanne Hughes will talk about printing stereo cards on different printers at different resolutions and how this affects the output when you view them with different viewers. Examples will be on hand.

 

There is an elaborate process for elections, I am told.  However, since I don't recall it ever being used and we don't have any by-laws or constitution, I don't know much about it.  We need the following officers:

President

Vice-President

Treasurer

And the following positions:

Competition Director

Newsletter Editor

Hospitality/Refreshment

Projectionist - Larry has a lifetime appointment 

Webmasters – Steve and Suzanne Hughes, also lifetime

 

Dues are due for 2007!!!!  Pay to Marilyn Morton. 

 

The meeting is the 2nd Friday of this month –March 9th. We will meet at 7:30 PM at the Congregational Church @ 2676 Clairmont Road (about 1 1/2 blocks south of I-85) This is the Church up the winding road, through the woods.  If you have any questions, call Bill Moll @ 706-859-7726.

 

February meeting report:

The 4th Georgia 3D Fest was an artistic success but an attendance failure.  The card exhibits were fine, the docent talks went well and the two workshops were a success and the lenticular display outstanding.  We had the mirror viewer, the Sharp lenticular screen, medium format slide viewers and a good assortment of vintage materials for sale.  The projections, both digital and film, went well and the screen dents came out before the projection.  All we needed was more attendees.

 

It then occurred to me that we send emails to the same people every year and expect attendance to increase.  My Presidential campaign platform is that we need to get out in the world a bit more, if we want the world to take notice of us.  That means things like running a 3D photo workshop for kids at the Fernbank Science Center, participating in the Atlanta Celebrates Photography event, etc.
