[QueensPhoto] the agenda at last!

[O.J. Beardon]

Hello everyone! Hope this finds you all well. Some of us had a small but 
very pleasant meeting last Sunday to gather ideas, thanks to all who made 
it for coming! For those who were unable to make it, this is what we 
decided:

We will start things formally at the beginning of next term. That being 
regular 'crit' meetings to see each other's work and learn what there is to 
be learnt from it, as well as sharing ideas on just about anything 
photographic really. We can decide to set ourselves topics to explore, and 
see what we all come up with from the same theme; this will broaden our 
ways of looking at a certain subject and hopefully (this is the important 
bit) make us better photographers! We can decide on which themes to choose 
depending on the level of interest in each one; there seems to be a 
preference for landscape work and (from among those present at the meeting) 
portraiture. Those of us with 'experience' in each area can share their 
knowledge and 'run' a meeting. I can do landscape/nature/absract stuff, 
maybe someone else can do portaits etc. Get the idea?

The other thing is the darkroom. I think we should all get our hands on 
down there next term, so be sure to bring your film cameras next term (and 
black and white negatives if you have them), along with any interesting 
pictures you would like to share. If you don't have a film camera, don't 
worry, I'll sort something out for you.

Lastly, get all your friends to join up if they're interested, we need 
numbers! If we're to have an exhibition, the more the merrier!

If there's anything in the meantime you want to ask, just email me!

Have fun, 
Oliver
