<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Everyone,<br>
<br>
I agree with Oli that we've got a great selection of photos to choose
from for the exhibition - we just need to get hold of some of the
printed/slide photos we saw in digital form and there won't be too much
whittling down to do on Wednesday.<br>
<br>
I put together a book over the holiday of all my family's travel photos
as a present for my parents and the whole process went really well. If
anyone wants to have a look, I used a company in America called Blurb (<a
href="http://www.blurb.com">www.blurb.com</a>) and putting the book
together with the software they provide was pretty easy and it would
offer lots of flexibility for us to do something similar. There doesn't
seem to be much competition at the moment but the prices were fairly
reasonable - about £16-18 per 10x8" hardback book plus varying postage
and packaging options taking it to around £25 (but with a bulk order we
could get it down to </font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">£20)</font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">. We can also put the book up for
sale on their website and they will print them to order for anyone else
who wants it (with a little profit going our way if we choose). It
might be a good thing to look at once we've got the exhibition sorted
anyway.<br>
<br>
Just two more things to mention - I've had an email from Dr Holmes
asking whether we have any photos he can use for the Record (the
magazine sent out to all old members of Queens') so if anyone has
anything to offer, please could you email the files to me ASAP and I'll
forward them on. <br>
<br>
Also, for anyone who doesn't yet know, Oli and I went out and bought a
new tripod for anyone in the society to use a few days ago. It's well
built and should be excellent for anyone wanting to try a bit of night
photography (or anything else you might need it for). It's currently
residing in Oli's room but I think it'll probably be living in mine
(CC37) in the not too distant future so if you want to use it, it will
probably help if you give both of us an email in advance if you can.
But, if you have any spur of the moment urges to take photos, </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">still </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">feel free to pop round and pick it
up whenever you want. If I'm not in my room when you need it, my mobile
number is 07950 886856.<br>
<br>
Sorry it's been a bit of a long email but I hope to see everyone on
Wednesday.<br>

We had a small but epic meeting yesterday, and saw some excellent
pictures. Things are looking good for the exhibition! We narrowed the
choice down a bit, but we need to have further discussions. Can we meet
in my room F2 at 9.30pm on Wednesday? Sorry it's a bit late, but if we
are efficient we should be over before it gets too late, and it gives
people time to get some work done first. I can promise tea and
biscuits! Let me know if there are any difficulties with that.
<br>
<br>
Matt came up with a wonderful idea yesterday which I didn't even know
was possible - to produce a book: Queens College Photographic Society
2005-2008, how about it? Seeing as there are so many wonderful pictures
- far too many to show in an exhibition - I think this would be a
cracking thing to do. It costs about £25 but I'm sure Matthew can tell
us more at the meeting.
<br>
<br>
Hope to see you there, bring any more great shots we havn't already
seen.
<br>
<br>
Oliver
