Come hither - oh, Central Oregon photographers!

A friend and I are trying to organize an informal, fun little get-together of local photographers.

Here's how it could work: a theme is chosen for the night, and photographers are encouraged to bring slides on this theme and present them with a time limit of five minutes. You can have live musical accompaniment, or narrate. A portion of the night could also be set aside to show non-themed work. Meanwhile, everyone eats and drinks and is merry and a real sense of an artistic community arises.

What's required are plenty of willing participants (non-photographers with an interest in the craft are invited to attend too), a good space, a projector screen, slide projector, and laptop, and possibly a karaoke machine for the MC to run the show.

So if anybody out there reading this has a desire to try it out or know of a local photographer who might want to attend, email me!!.
