Photoshare: Please send your images to Juliet (jstarkfrey@comcast.net) by noon on the day of the meeting. No set limit on the number of images--just common sense. It is interesting to see the originals of images on which you have worked your magic. And if you can remember how you created them :-) that is always great to hear! Images should be jpegs, 1400 pixels on the long side; the ppi doesn't matter. Number them in the order you would like them shown.

Guest Speaker: Dave Askins, editor of B Square Bulletin. Topic: Sense of place in local journalism: From backyard teeter totters to the city hall dais.

More than half a decade ago, Dave Askins started The B Square Bulletin to report local government news in Bloomington. But his goal is now to transform The B Square into Bloomington’s full-fledged hometown paper, even if it’s published only online. He thinks his own B Square photos have somewhat dubious technical merit. But Askins believes the images provide a sense of place and proof of presence, reminding readers that the reporting is based on an eye-witness account, not somebody else’s recap.

We are planning to conduct our monthly Bloomington Photography Club Meeting as a hybrid meeting. We will be meeting at 7:00 pm in person at the Monroe County Public Library.
