3rd Bend Slideluck Potshow

Simone is organizing another local Slideluck Potshow. If you’re a local photographer, or have any interest in photography and seeing other people’s work, then be sure to make it to this event.

Interested? Read on for the details from Simone (who really should post this on her blog)…

It’s time again to dig into your photo files, stop by in your kitchen for some yummy food – and join us for the next Bend Slideluck Potshow on Friday, July 8th, 6:30pm.

Robert Agli has yet again generously offered to host the Slideluck at his home. His address is 3143 NW Clubhouse Drive. From Hwy. 97, go West on Mt. Washington Dr., turn right at the second street (Clubhouse). The house is the 6th on the left.

The theme this time is (in a nod to the fact that we have lots of wildlife/outdoor photographers in the group): WILD THINGS. But of course, good old non-themed work is just fine too.

Also – two things are new this time around:

1. Due to an utter lack of traditional slides being shown, we’re abandoning the slide projector in favor of an all-digital presentation format. Tom Merrow will again be the good soul providing his digital projector. Thanks, Tom!

2. Folks – bring something else to eat but DESSERTS! Last time we had something like 8 sweet dishes and 2 main courses. So to make things easier (and this might bomb – or not): people with their last names starting with:

A – I : bring an appetizer

J – Q : bring a main course

R – Z : bring a dessert

And last, but not least: For those who don’t know yet, Slideluck Potshow is half slideshow and half potluck. It’s an informal gathering of photographers and photo groupies to admire and discuss photography while enjoying food and drink. Pros, amateurs, and neophytes – short, all those interested in photography and supporting local photographers – are encouraged to attend.

Everyone should try to bring food or beverage (homemade food is encouraged), but the most important part of Slideluck Potshow is to your work. Without the slideshows Slideluck Potshow can’t work, so don’t be shy.

Here’s how it works: Each photographer will get 5 minutes (more or less) to show a digital slideshow. You can narrate, play music, mime or whatever as the pictures roll. (Projectors, computers, screen and stereo provided.)

For any other questions, please call Simone (cell: 771-6670) or Matt (382-2996), or if you want, you can RSVP to simone [at] emeraldbayphoto [dot] com. Or post a comment here, and I’ll make sure Simone gets the message.
