I for one would like to see WWIG continue in one form or another,
though I will totally miss Susanne's coffee and treats if we change the
venue. Let's all consider participating in the ADAY project
(link), which is an international effort to document a day in the life of the
planet by having anyone and everyone take a photo on May 15 and submit
it for potential publication. It is being touted as the day the world photographs itself. Western Wisconsin certainly ought to be
represented in any planetary photo book.
Perhaps we could
all get together, if timing with the Project allows, to view and
discuss the image we intend to submit or are considering for submission
(from a group of possibilities) and get back to talking shop on the
subject of photography. The 15th is a Tuesday, so we could meet that
evening, if necessary, or Wednesday evening, if that works out better
with deadlines for submission, and with people's schedules.
The
only problem is where to meet. If Byron would consider hosting the
meeting, everything could be a lot simpler, except for the Annises. Otherwise, I am willing try
to find a room somewhere in La Crosse to meet. Or, I would be willing
to host at my gallery in Beach Corners, but that is a half hour's drive
(about the same distance I usually drive to meetings.) I can make good coffee but have more humble baking skills.
Any thoughts?
