Upcoming Events
I’m happy to be able to mention two upcoming Tucson Photography events in which I’ll be participating in the coming weeks.
The first is a presentation I’ll be giving to the Desert Viewfinders Camera Club (DVCC). This is an organization here in Tucson that has asked me to deliver a talk on stock photography. One of the members of DVCC is also a member of the Tucson Photo Meetup group. I’ll be speaking about how photographers can get started in stock photography, about the prospects for making money in stock photography, and my experiences as an image inspector for iStockphoto.com.
The other exciting event will be the October meeting of the Tucson Photo Meetup group. We meet every month, on the second Saturday of the month. We ordinarily have a member presenting some element of photography, and October’s meeting will be no different; I’ll be bringing my studio equipment to the meeting and doing a seminar on lighting. Some members who already have experience with studio lighting may appreciate this as a refresher, while other members will be experiencing studio strobes for the first time. I’m looking forward to a good seminar, and I’d like to invite any of my readers to come along. It should be a good time.
A third upcoming event is still in the planning stages (so maybe it’s unfair to call it an upcoming event at this point). Several members of the Meetup group will be putting together a group photo shoot, in the spirit of iStockphoto’s “minlypses”. In fact, we’ll be planning our group shoot with the idea of stock photography in mind. Details about this event should develop over the next month or so.
