Meetings
Over the years, our group has met monthly at different locations. Currently we meet at The Emerald Art Center in Springfield, Oregon where business is conducted and members share work, ideas and techniques. PhotoZone is a juried group but visitors are always welcome and may share work. We currently meet on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 1:00 pm. The location is The Emerald Art Center, 500 Main Street in Springfield. Enter by the side entrance. Contact us to be sure the meeting is on schedule. If a visitor then wishes to apply for membership, a formal review process is scheduled at a regular meeting, by phone or email.
PhotoZone is interested in prints.
We have a print review at each of our meetings. We share our work primarily as prints, however we are in a trial to include digital sharing. Video projection is used mostly for instructional purposes. Members and visitors may bring up to 3 prints for review. It can either be a show-and-tell or a critique depending on the presenter’s preference. Prints are viewed on an easel and must be able to stand on their own. A simple mat is the best way to prevent damage.
Our long time member Gary Tepfer talked about his work at a recent meeting.
