Hi David, I think we are hoping September/October 2008.
I will need some sample images to submit to Sirius Arts Center if we want to show there. They need an idea of the kind of work we do in order to commit. There are 3 or 4 other Cork galleries we can approach if we do not get into Sirius for this year. Do you have anything in the dferrie archives that would be appropriate for me to include in our package to Sirius?
Catherine
Catherine,
I flick through the archives, I've been meaning to scan all my negs, now I have a reason to make me do it. I intend shooting a lot of film with Les so I'm hoping that I'll get a few from the weekend that I'd be happy (well happy might be to strong a word ) to show. Do you need stuff for Sirius before the end of March?
David, I would say yes for the Sirius pix, we need 'em as soon as realistically possible, if only because they book their space well ahead of time. End of March I think would be too late. Don't sweat it if you don't have anything quite right just yet, I am under the impression that this is just an initial "screening" of sorts to make sure that we are serious (LOL ... she hasn't met me in person yet...).
Peter, that's great news about the scanner! This means, of course, that you can scan prints for your website! Coolio!!!
That's 3 of us from the Garden of Ireland! Your darkroom sounds great, unfortunately I'm shooting 35mm & MF so it's out of my league.
David
Thanks for the welcome, though I am not sure I feel an artist myself, well, not yet, maybe... :-)
Regarding my darkrooom, the enlarger (DeVere) has a MF and 35 mixing boxes for the light (Ilford 500 Multigrade head) and I do have the right negative inserts for the carrier, so it is just a question of getting a lens, say 80mm for the MF would be nice. Then it would work for you! :-) I might even get into MF, and get you into 4x5. I am so looking forward to the summer....
I'll try and get a few of mine sorted for you (well us seeing as I'm supposed to be helping too...you're doing a great job!). I had the Holga (looks of derision and total incomprehension from all around...especially when I dropped my empty spool on the kid in front..) out at the match so I'll need some help developing.
Should all of us who hope to join in e-mail scans and then you pick and choose to show Sirius? Or do they require prints? Maybe a CD of the group's photos would do the trick? Just a thought . . . .

Agreed, it will be difficult for all of us to send prints so hopefully a CD with some of our images will do. I have my new scanner installed so should be able to email some scans to Catherine as soon as I learn how to use it
Arifield have informed me that we have to supply whatever refreshments we want for the opening night. I guess that won't amount to much between all of us.

Do you want to supply an e-mail address here (maybe make one up on gmail?) that we should use to send pic files to? I should think if we're doing a CD, then files of 500KB to 1MB should be quite sufficient for Sirius and others to view them on a monitor.
Good idea, just set up a gmail account specifically for this. If you are able to send digital images for our apug submission to Sirius Arts Center please send to
apug2008 (at) gmail (dot) com
If you can include titles, print dimensions, technique (if relevant) and a brief bio that would be great. It's okay if these aren't your final selections, I think they are more interested at this point to see the range of work we do. As I said earlier, more of an initial screening to make sure we are serious! Web-resolution is best but if you aren't sure how just send what you have and I'll shrink 'em.
