Orcas Camera Club Photo Show at Orcas Center in September

martin — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 20:59:17 +0000

The Club is organizing a photography show at Orcas Center in Sept.

The theme for the show is “People” . Submissions which match the theme are strongly preferred. However the club wishes to encourage all photographers to participate so it is not required to submit work which follows the theme. The show is open to all Orcas Island photographers.

Submitted images must be “ready to hang”. That means they should be framed and include a wire hanger attached to the back. Photographs which are not ready to hang with a wire hanger will be rejected. Photographers can submit multiple images. However it is not guaranteed that more than one image can be accommodated. Most likely there will be room for two images per photographer. Photographers should indicate their preferred order for hanging if they bring multiple images. Images included in the show may be offered for sale. The Orcas Center takes a 30% commission on sales from Orcas Center members and a 40% commission from non-members. The commission is reasonable and helps support Orcas Center operations. Images do not need to be offered for sale however. Submissions must be brought to the Orcas Center on Wed. Aug 31st between 11am and 2pm. Photographers will be asked to fill in an artists agreement form and if they are having someone else deliver their work they should get a copy of that form and fill it in in advance. The show will be on display through Wednesday October 4th. Photographers should arrange to pick up their pieces on Wednesday October 5th between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

There will be an opening Reception Friday Sept 2nd between 5:30 and 7:00 pm. All those submitting photos for display should bring a pot luck dish to share.

Questions can be directed to Maggie Sharkey @ maggiesharkey@hotmail.com or 376 6256.

OICC has a new web site

OICC has a new web site as you an see if you are reading this blog. It’s appearance may change over time, but the big change is that the web site is WordPress powered ‘under the hood’. That means it is easier for multiple non-programmers to collaborate on inputting content for the site. If you want a members bio page like the ones here let Martin know and he will make you a blank page and an account to login so you can input a bio, upload a photo or two of yourself and provide links to the online photo sharing sites you use.

Also blogging to this site may be a good alternative to using the mailing list in many if not most cases. So again ask for an account and start contributing.
