Spring has finally sprung, and even if we did get snow that 32 degrees just didn\u2019t feel as cold somehow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Portfolio Project has been underway for several months now and a lot of you have posted images to your folders in the Gallery.\u00a0 It has been great to see what you have done, and we encourage you to look at everyone else’s images and to give some feedback.\u00a0 It is always good to hear what other people think of our work, it helps us grow and can be the catalyst that makes a good presentation into a great one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For those of you who are working on your concepts but have not posted anything yet, we look forward to seeing what you have been doing!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As for the rest of the club, if you have not signed up for the project, but have come up with a group of related images you want to share you still have until April 15.<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up instructions:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For those of you who had challenges uploading your Artist Statement, we do need you to have the Artist Statement with your images.<\/span>\u00a0 There are two ways I know of to get that in.\u00a0 If you want to put it on an image take the image into Photoshop and add a text box, you can then copy and paste the text from a document into the text box.\u00a0 I\u2019ll be happy to walk you through the steps.\u00a0 If you want to attach a document to the gallery the easiest way I know is to save the document as an Adobe pdf.\u00a0 Since a pdf file is a picture you can then simply upload it as you would a jpeg image.\u00a0 The people at the Ask Me a Question<\/span> table probably know other ways to do this also, just ask them or me.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The final review is on May 12<\/strong> with Brian Zwit so we want to make April 30<\/strong> the cut off for new entries and changes to existing folders.\u00a0 Depending on how many people end up uploading images for review we want a maximum of 12 to 15 of your best images plus the artist statement as the number that will be shown for each of you.\u00a0 For those of you who have a story-like theme it’s equally important to establish a flow, dawn to dusk, spring to winter, general to specific, old to new, perhaps a color flow, there are a lot of ways to tell a story.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And then you need to think about how you will present your images to the club on May 12th. After all this effort you should show the world your achievement.\u00a0 Remember that the restriction on the number of images only extends to the review part of the evening, for your entire portfolio you can include as many images as you feel is appropriate to achieve your goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
