First Meeting

Well folks, its the evening after our first meeting and I'd like to start by extending thanks to everyone who made it to campus on a Friday for photo club. We had around 15 people today, a great start. Lots of great ideas were covered, I'll briefly go over what we talked about today in the lines below.

Four people were chosen to be the officers of this new student organization, they are as follows:

President: Tom Harris
Vice-President: Amanda Donajkowski
Secretary: Erin Therrien
Treasurer: Elizabeth Beveridge

Thanks for stepping forward to this guys.

Secondly we've chosen a title for ourselves at long last. Thanks Jeremy for suggesting focus it beat out the others in a nearly unanimous vote.

Next Liz Beveridge took on the challenge of creating a publication for ourselves this semester. A volume of our photography with some accompanying text is what it sounds like at the moment.

Sara Anderson decided she'd take the task of signage under her wing and get going on some posters. Thanks for that Sara, I'm looking forward to see what you come up with.

We got everyone who came to the meeting today invites to be authors of this blog, so you all should be able to post here freely after you confirm the email you ought to have received.

Scott, one of our photo I students suggested we look into getting some space to hang work in the basement here. We'll get started on the walls just west of the doors to B84, they are blank and could use some of our art.


As far as a logo is concerned, it looks like Miss Buster has already gotten a heading on something, everyone that would like to try their hand at photoshop, illustrator, or simply a pen and paper is welcome to get things sketched/printed for our next meeting where we'll do some more voting to decide on one.

Future meetings: As of right now our next meeting is planned for Friday the 14th of February at 2:15 in B51 again. We're going to be doing a supplementary meeting possibly Wednesday nights for people that can't make Friday. You don't have to come to both meetings unless you REALLY want to hang out with me more, but a phone call will do just as well! I joke I joke, come to both if you want, but we'll likely be covering the same ground.


Finally thanks again to everyone that had great suggestions today, as well as everyone who came. I'm more than excited to establish some cohesion here in the photography student body. We'll make some memories this semester, and work with each other to get our names out, and get some killer images.

Have a fantastic weekend my friends.
