This casual, yet fun opportunity was first done several years ago in our Middle Georgia Camera Club. All Members, everyone, is encouraged to participate. We can indeed all learn from each other. The Still Life In A Bag will allow us all to see how our fellow members set up a still life image with items that they do not selected. The arrangement or composition as we image makers state it is often a challenge.

As we view the results from our fellow members we can observe what is pleasing to the eye and to also learn how our fellow members react to the items that they must use to complete this fun project.

In order for this fun project to be reality you must bring a “Sealed Shopping Bag” with five items inside with your name on the bottom of the bag to the next meeting, May 6, 2010. You must use the items in the bag in your still life. You can not introduce additional items. However you do not have to use all the items in the bag. You have two weeks to take your images. In order to proceed with this project in a timely fashion you must return the bag with the contents to the May 20, 2010 meeting. You will have time to edit your images. The date for the showing of the images will be at one of the June Meetings.

The image submission date will be announced later. Please be aware that you may submit printed images or digital images. The number of images you will be allowed to submit will depend on the number of Members who actually participate in this project. Hopefully everyone will take advantage of this opportunity so we can all appreciate each other’s talent. Do not be shy about participation. We are all members of our Camera Club and this is but one opportunity to “Learn By Doing.”

Please bring your sealed bag with five items inside with your name on the bottom to the May 6th meeting and be ready to have fun as a member of the Middle Georgia Camera Club.
