WWIG Continuing Update- July 2010

There will be a Western Wisconsin Imaging Group  meeting on July 7th at our home (N2207 Pammel Pass W.) at 6:30pm. The format will be somewhat different this time. We will be viewing the video documentary video documentary Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye. As mentioned in my e-mail, "I have seen this film and it gave me more insight into a very important aspect of the historical development of photography than anything I have read or seen. I hope that those who choose to attend will be inclined to participate in discussion afterward."

The Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk has been tentatively scheduled for July 24th. However, its status remains somewhat uncertain. Although I submitted an application on June 21st, I've had no reply so far. My inclination is to go ahead with an event on our own  if we don't get official designation. I am going to make tentative arrangements with a restaurant for an after walk get together and will keep you posted as things develop. Unfortunately, if we don't get approval from the Photowalk organization you won't get a tee shirt. On the other hand, maybe we could do our own. Stay tuned.

Finally, the exhibition of our work at the La Crosse Public Library is on! The submitted images will be hung for public display on August 5 for one month. They have requested 18 pieces. The prints can be any size, B&W or color; framed or unframed but should be matted (the stiffer the better). Everything will be returned. You may submit as many prints as you like for consideration. The  selections will be made by John Zoerb. This is NOT a contest and in the selection process our goal is to show the diversity of  approaches and the considerable photographic talent of our group. Please drop off your prints at  John Zoerb's home. You can place them in his garage where he has both a special box and a table for this purpose. As an alternative you can bring them to my house as well. The cut-off date is August 1st.
