Hi everyone.

I couldn't make it last saturday as i was very sick. I am sure it went very well. Is there any way of seeing the portraits taken on saturday (facebook, blogs??). I would love also to hear about your thoughts.

Thanks 

Josiane

If you are are bringing a printer, Epson printers are preferred. Also bring your laptop.

Also, please label your memory cards with your name or initials  with a permeant marker or whatever. It will help ensure they get returned to you as the day gets a little crazy. Thanks!

Hi All,

The Beacon House staff will be on-site at 9:00 am to let us in and set up.

The Beacon House is located at:

601 Edgewood St., NE, Suite 15, Washington DC

They are on the second floor.

If you have a card reader PLEASE BRING IT!

We could also use another printer.

It would also help if you could bring extension cords and power strips.

Look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday. If you have any quesitons, please let us know.

Heidi, thank-you for setting up the call and thanks for the agenda. One question discussed at our meeting on Thursday is how many prints a ticket entitled an individual to receive. Photographers can do many different poses and combinations of family members. Additionally family situations can be complicated. So what a ticket means and how many tickets per person is a good question to address. A companion question is do the tickets apply to prints or to the photographers station?

@Caroline. In addition to what Heidi stated, I would encourage you to bring your camera. Teaming up with another photographer is a good way to learn quickly.

Comment by Caroline on December 2, 2011 at 9:19am

Awesome, thanks!

Comment by Heidi Simpson on December 2, 2011 at 9:09am

Yes, yes and yes!  Welcome Caroline! Not one volunteer last year was standing still. We can use people to hold reflectors, run cards from photog to printing station, behind the action shots. I will be setting up a conference bridge for more discussion for Monday. Details to follow on that. Please post any questions you may have.
