Minutes from Sat. February 23th meeting

Meeting MinutesHere’s what we’ve got so far:

  • Date: Start at noon Friday, April 18, and end midnight on Saturday, April 19.
  • Photographers can submit a total of 25 photos - one “photographer’s pick” that will automatically make the final group, plus 24 other photos of their choice.
  • Judging: Nicholaus is talking with Rob Amberg about being a judge. We also plan to ask AC-T photo editor Bill Sanders to judge again. Do we need a third?
  • Deadlines: Deadlines for submitting photos after the shoot haven’t been set, as I recall. We talked about giving people one week - so April 26? Deadlines for judging also unclear, but the overall deadline is to have a final product one month from the shoot, so May 19 is when we want to have Spring DILOA 2008 finalized.
  • Sponsorships: We’ll seek sponsorships from the Media Arts Project, others. We’d like a little seed money for printing, and possibly to buy a class of third- or fourth-graders disposable cameras to use as part of the project.
  • Photo printing: Two suggestions here - first, we could charge each photo a $10 or $15 entry fee to cover printing costs. Or, it could be up to each individual photographer to meet a print submission deadline, which keeps the costs spread to the individual.
  • Presentation: Mogmismo will create a DILOA web site to facilitate improved photo searching and presentation. But we’ll continue to use flickr for photo submission.

Also, we’ll explore two other options for prints: having a local gallery host, or having Pack Memorial Library host us again, if they’re willing.

That’s it, as far as i can recall. What did I leave out? Thoughts?

    What a great idea ? Asheville should be considered an 8th wonder of the world . I’ve traveled many places but the best destination in my mind is still AVL :)

    are there any content restrictions? like what’s the radius to downtown that is appropriate for inclusion as “asheville” … and is there a minimum age for participation? and finally, is there really going to be a submission fee?

    Content restrictions? I can’t remember discussing any though I’d stay away from nudes for this particular project.

    Asheville = the city limits + fudge room for any area that you feel is Asheville, broadly speaking. One example is River Road - Last year I shot images of road bikers riding there, well north of Asheville, but I felt it was intellectually connected to “Ashevilleness” and, if I’d liked the shot, would have included it in my upload (it was an Asheville bike club).
