Gallery space update
We’ve called around only to learn that most galleries book their spaces way in advance (like a year) and most are full until the New Year. So, we’ve added our name to a couple of lists for next year (2009), but it seems our best bet for the DITLOA Spring 2008 Show is still our beloved and excellent partner The Pack Library, who are bringing in the window cleaners in preparation.That said, I put out some feelers for a possible party/one night showing, and have a couple leads in the River Arts District (thanks to Jen of Faces of Asheville).Are you interested in having a one-night party/showing?If so, which dates work best for folks? Ash thinks we should wait until after the library show is down so folks can pick up their prints. I’d love to do it sooner after the shoot, but I realize that May is busy, busy (LEAF, Memorial Day weekend, etc.).If we get the show up at the library the second week in May (as prints are due to Ash by May 5) , we could take the shots down and celebrate on May 31. Or we could wait until June. Or we could have a party without the prints and just a run a projector (which I have), which now that I think about it, might me easier anyway. We could do that as early as April 26 (Merlefest) or May 3.Feedback, please?Also, see post below for a more comprehensive update.

I like the projector idea, that way we can show pics bigger.
I can get a projector too.
Maybe a couple more?
I like that idea.

Love the idea for a party.
Dates off-limits for me: May 10 - 30: Annual Training, I’ll be in MS.
Otherwise, any time is good, before or after AT.

there is also a gallery on carolina lane that might work for a space…. I am trying to track down info for it as of current and then I will give them a call, see if they might be interested in a projection party for a night. I am sure we can find *someplace* if the Wedge Gallery doesn’t work. Ben Betsalel is great to work with but I don’t know what his schedule is for returning back from Africa and if he will want to immediately move in all of his studio supplies so he can get to work in the Gallery Space. Plus he usually charges a decent sum of $ to rent the Wedge Gallery. So we’ll see where the paths lead us…
And just so folks know,
I’ve finally made the leap into Flickr - paying for the yearly pro rate so I can upload all of my photos which are currently on google’s picasa and my laptop. So hopefully I’ll start to be more active on that site, and only because I want to be closer to you all.
So cheers to that & I am very much looking forward to this April!

The projector is a good idea, along with the prints!

So mog,
Where’d all my paragraph breaks disappear to? I don’t typically write in such a stream of consciousness style!

Hey guys -
before I call my friend to see if we can use his gallery space -
What day/days are we looking for so I have something to go off of?
Thanks-
JB
(or Anne I can give you his info & you can call him directly since you seem to have more of an idea of what we are looking for - you can reach me at 828-423-5673 (828-ICE-LORD) and I can give you his name & # if you want.)

Hi,
This is my first time participating and I am wondering if it is okay to work on my photos in PhotoShop before submission? I didn’t see anything about it in the rules. Thanks.
