As March draws to a close it’s time to start working on a final tweaking of your on-line portfolio choices.  For the critique put a maximum of 15 of your best images plus the artist statement in your folder.  In the interest of time for the reviews you can have fewer, just not more.

For the actual portfolio presentation, be it a book, prints, slide show on your laptop, poster, etc. you can include as many images as you feel fit your goals.  There are numerous ways to present your images.  Ginger will probably use My Publisher again, Mike Kane is using Moab, Roger Lancaster is doing a book and a poster of his images, and last year Willa Friedman did prints.  Be sure to check out the excellent posting by Scott Musson from a couple of years ago at  http://nvps.org/main/f_stop/docs/PhotoBooksCalendars.pdf for guidance.

Continue gathering images, editing, posting and refining!  We are really looking forward to seeing everyone’s final portfolios.
