2/4 NPPA Meeting Key points
NPPA Meeting Key Points 2/4:
Gallery Showings- Jimmy is going to get our application ready for the gallery showing. We decided that we are going to break the photo contest in to categories: Spot News, Sports, Feature, Illustrations, ect. Also we probably will allow abstract and other art photo photos as well. We are still trying to determine how we will submit Video and other electronic works as well. We need to find a few people to judge for us, I think that Lisa Parisot is going to take care of that for us. We are going to try and get winners published in the Daily. If there are any questions about that you can talk to the photo Editor at the Daily, Rebecca Evens.
Selling Our Work- We are going to set a website with a pay pal account so we can all try and sell our work. We will probably set something up to where, if you do sell you work through us, you will have to donate a certain amount back to the organization. Not much, but al least something so we can keep our finances going. We don’t get much from the school and we don’t charge member fees, so I think this is a pretty fair agreement.
Merging Clubs- Jonny Carroll, a member of the NPPA, has started a photography club here on campus, so we are thinking about doing some things with them so we can get more people involved. If you have any questions about you can find Jonny’s E-mail on the NT Daily website, feel free to get with him about the Photo Club. His is not a news organization, but just like our group anyone can join.
We are going to possibly offer some sort of seminar to get some more members. If anyone has any ideas please let us know. We need to really get this club off the ground. As Jimmy said, we have made this group active for the first time in 20 years, so lets do it right and make sure that the photogs and others have this group when we graduate. We had a great meeting this week. I think we had about twice the number of people as last week, so lets keep it up and invite more people to the meeting and see if we can’t break Jimmy’s pocketbook with food cost.
