More About October WWIG Meeting

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: I am very please to let you know that Ben Stern has accepted my invitation to give a series of tutorials at upcoming meetings about 2 important topics: How to Construct a Photo Gallery Web Site and How to Do Slide Shows. At the October meeting Ben will introduce each topic giving us a brief overview. He will describe the software that he favors, so that those interested in doing so can obtain the software in order to work along with him as he presents these topics in much more detail at future meetings. I, for one, am very eager to learn how to get a website up and running and to be able to prepare decent slide show presentations and look forward to Ben's instruction

APOLOGY AND CLARIFICATION : At the last meeting I discussed upcoming Topic of Month assignments. It was suggested that the October topic would be gesture but then when it came time to make a final decision I forgot that I had done so. Sorry if this has created confusion. The October Topic of the Month is a photo taken on Saturday October 2nd at 11:00am wherever you are and whatever you are doing (backup, if you forget or if circumstances don't allow, is Monday October 4th at 1:00pm).

COMMENTS: When you visit this blog please remember to see if comments have been posted and, if they have, to read them. Thank you very much to those who have taken the time to enter comments. Jim Terman wrote one to the previous post which will be of interest to everyone using conventional film techniques.

MEETING AGENDA: As done before the last meeting, I plan to post the agenda here. I hope to get started tomorrow, but understand that this will be a work in progress and changes may be made up until 6:29pm on the night of the meeting. Sorry if, in the unlikely event, anyone objects but the host reserves this prerogative.

LIBRARY PRINT EXHIBIT: I asked John Zoerb if there had been any feedback from the La Crosse Public Library staff about our display of prints there in August. Pat Boge who apparently administers the displays was very pleased and asked if we would be willing to do so again next year. John has graciously agreed to once again curate and hang the exhibit if we decide to accept the invitation.  Please let us know if you are in favor of doing so by participating in the poll which you will find in the column on the right side of your screen.
