Please - by Bill Moll
This month’s program will be Club Competition night and Political
Campaigns in Stereo. Due to the lack of
curtains and the rather late sunset, we will have to change the order of
events. We will begin with an update on
the Regional NSA meeting/public 3DFest to be held in February 2005.
Mike Griffith will then give a workshop on political
campaigns in stereo cards. As you know,
Mike is a recognized expert in the field.
If you have any antique cards which look like they are of political
events or parades, bring them along and Mike might be able to identify them for
you.
After the refreshment break, we will have the May club
competition for slides and cards.
Holmes, over/under or “Loreo” cards are okay, but bring your own viewer
for cards other than Holmes-format. We
are only setup to project Realist format slides. The theme for the night is “great slides”.
The meeting is the 2nd
Friday of this month – May 14. Les Heyward will provide the refreshments. We will
meet at 7:30 PM at the Central Congregational/United Church of Christ 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 @ 706-859-7726.
There were 17 people at the April meeting. Bert Arps did such
a good job with refreshments that we attempted to get Bert and Marilyn elected
to a permanent refreshment committee, but they declined the honor.
The PSA Sequence show was above average this year. As usual, the judging seemed a bit
strange. However, that seems to be the
nature of judging photos, both 3D and 2D.
Once again, we had no entries.
Club members can do better than many of the award winners!!!!
Bill Moll demonstrated some of his collection of old stereo cameras
(pre 1930). Despite an appalling
ignorance of exactly how they all worked, it was clear that taking picture in
that era required a lot more effort than throwing a roll of film in a
Realist.
Al Hess provided the surprise of the night with the current
copy of the Georgia Underground caving magazine. He and Michael McEachern (
Jim Messenger brought some slides of a famous jazz DJ which
he will be turning into a 3D show. Stay
tuned for more details. This is part of
a goal for next year – turn the skills of the club into some public shows. Larry Moor and Mike Griffith have been the
only ones active in this so far.
Les Heyward made some fine looking name tags, but I forgot
to bring the name tag holders.
Hopefully, I will remember for May.
We will copy the Stereoscopic Society method of keeping the name tags
with the club materials, so that people don’t forget them.
Refreshments:
