Sunny 16 Camera Club Minutes November 2018 - Submitted by Alison Houk
There were 27 club members present.
President Tommy Hatcher started by telling the club that there will be no
challenge or open category for photos next month as we will be having our
annual Christmas potluck in our meeting room on December 11th ,
our usual meeting night, but it will begin at 6:00 instead of 7:00. Meats and
drinks will be provided by the club and we ask that club members bring either a
salad, side dish, or dessert. There will be a prize for every member. Tommy has
asked that by December 1st members get back to me and
let me know if you are coming and if you’re bringing someone. We need to
know how much meat to buy. There will be Heavenly Ham and Turkey. There will be
a slideshow running showing pictures from the year of challenge and open category
entries. There will also be prints on display from Donn Miertl’s Print Analysis
group.
Tommy opened the floor for nominations for next year officers:
Tommy Hatcher was nominated for president,
Allison Houk for secretary
Erin Denny as Treasury.
The nominations will remain open till January. Any member who wants to nominate anyone please email Alison: alisonhouk@gmail.com before the January meeting.
Keith Bridgman explained about The Club's new Media Page that is a site for the club to use. You can put pictures, blogs, messages, notes, personal profiles, etc. Contact info is on there. The address is: sunnysixteencameraclub.blogspot.com.
The board made a final decision on dues for next year. This year dues won’t be prorated as in the past. The dues are as follows:
Student--$15
Individual--$36
Family--$40.
At the church where we meet there will be a Christmas Market on December 1st from 9:00-2:00. You can have a booth there or you can just come and shop. Vendor space is $25 and goes to Habitat for Humanity.
Ms. Theo Wellington presented a program on Astrophotography. It was both interesting and instructive with lots of new information for all.
On the Facebook page there is information from Mike Moats about a Boot Camp on Macro Photography here the first weekend in February. If you are interested, you must sign up by December 1st. The fee is $199 for the two day workshop which is about 50/50 on instruction and shooting.
Sheila Reeves and Jason Reagan are checking on pricing for speakers to use for our programs because of so much interference with the format we currently have.
The club is currently exhibiting right in our meeting room at the church. It is a splendid display of great photography. Everyone agrees that we have shown great leaps in our artistry. The prints mus come down during the day on December 6th as others will go up that night.
Ronnie Ryne spoke about the annual project that the club participates in. Help-Portrait is a program that provides portraits to people who might not otherwise afford them. We have families, children, singles, etc. coming in for portraits. It’s a very detail-oriented project that we have down to a pretty good system. Example: Tommy will do a photo session, Merideth will bring that thumb drive to Alan who will retouch it and give it to Ronnie who will print it out-8x10- and then Julie will frame it and we’ll present to the family. It takes a lot of planning and work to keep it all on track. If you haven’t been, come by and see how it works.
Bill Dow’s 4th Tuesday group will meet with Donn’s Print Analysis group on November 27th in the meeting room at Bob Kirby Library. 7:00-??
We have a new place to exhibit our prints. Little Fox Bakery, where member Jan Trabue is now showing. They can take about 20 prints and we will show there in February.
After Jason showed the challenge photos—Street Photography—and the Open Category pictures, which were all very well done, we adjourned.
What did I forget?
