King’s Faire 2009…

For the first year in King’s Faire history photoministry is getting a booth to take photos of kids in costume as they arrive at KF.

King's Fair logo 2006We are loosely calling it the “King’s Faire Red Carpet Experience”. We are going to need a lot of help with this and want to partition the time into shifts for as many of you who want to participate. Lorisha is heading this up and it should be a fun thing for the kids to do as they come in and show off their costumes. KF is from 4:45 to 9pm, we want to get at least one photographer for each hour shift. We need to know soon if any of you all can participate.

We plan on having assistants helping with line control and we will be printing these photos after ward. All those logistics we’ll be worked out later but we need a commitment from you, let us know if you can help.

Next meeting, the Las Vegas Strip…

Hey Everyone,
On Tuesday, October 13th we our planning our meeting around an outing to Freemont street. So everyone needs to bring their cameras and get ready to do some night shooting under the lights of old Vegas.

We need to know if you all want to take the church shuttle down or if we all want to drive individually. Let me know ahead of time if possible. You can email or leave a comment below. We normally meet at 7pm, but I think we should meet at the church around 6pm to get a head start down there. Should be a good time and we can get a lot of good experience down there. Hope everyone can make it.

Thanks,
Shad

Photo walk on the Vegas Strip…

Hey everyone,
We are going to do our Vegas Strip photo walk  on Sunday, June 28th at 7:30pm. The weekend before is Father’s day and the weekend after is July 4th weekend. So this seems to be the best. I’m going to try and book the church van, so I’ll need to have you all RSVP by June 24 in the comments. We’ll head down to the new strip, probably around Ceasar’s or Belagio.

Thanks,
Shad

Edit :: Looks like we are going to have to cancell the outing, we only have one person going. Sorry everyone.

Next meeting on June 9th…

Hey everyone,
Our next meeting will be on June 9th at 7pm in the Communications office. Bring your cameras. We might just do some more experimenting with lights and such.

We will also be planning our walk on the strip.

Comment below if you think you can make it.

Outing This Saturday

Hey everyone,
We will be going to Valley of Fire this Saturday, March 28. We’ll leave the church around 9am and try to get back around 3 or 3:30pm before the start of the 4pm service. It takes about 1 hour to get there, so we should have a good 4 to 5 hours at the park.

A couple of things to note ::
• We’ll be taking the church van which seats 9, if we have more we may need to ask around the group to see who can supply an extra vehicle.
• The cost for the trip is $6 for one vehicle admittance to the park, and $20 to fill the van back up with gas. So we need to divide this up amongst us that goes as our budget got zapped in the reductions. If someone needs to bring an extra vehicle we’ll work out compensation amongst the group for gas and park admittance.
• I’m going to bring my 3 and half year old. If you all want to bring an older child (one that can walk trails) that is fine. I’m going to pay for her in whatever the cost comes out to be. I’m going to try and help you all with any questions and guiding us through the park so I won’t be taking photos.
• Everyone needs to bring a lunch, I’m going to try and get a cooler with ice to put water bottles in. We can put other drinks in as well if you want to bring something. Also, bring any kind of sun protection, it may not be hot but you’ll get burned if you are standing out in the sun to long.
Let me know by Thursday if you can come or not. I need a head count just for vehicles.

Comment below if you can come or email me at sfox@canyonridge.org

Thanks guys,
Shad

Outing…

In our last meeting we talked about joining the Las Vegas photographers meet up group for our outing. They are going down on the strip this Sunday January 25. I personally can’t make this trip as I have a prior commitment. I would encourage any of you to go, they look like they may have about 30 people going so far.

I still want to do an outing as a group however, but my schedule of the next couple of weekends is occupied. I wouldn’t try to do anything next weekend as it is Super Bowl weekend. The next Sunday after (Feb 8) won’t work for me either as I have a staff meeting at the church. I’ll set something up soon, but it will probably rest on a weekday instead of a weekend.

Thanks,
Shad

Moving next meeting to the 16th?

Hey Photographers,
I’ve got a commitment on the 9th and was wondering how many of you would be open to meeting on the 16th instead? I want to get a head count for that date. So email me or comment if you plan to be here.

If you’re new, we meet at 7:30pm 7:00pm in the communications office in building B (if you are not sure where that is just call or email).

Thanks,
Shad

Love Attack Saturday…

Hey guys, we need as many of you as possible for our outreach event this Saturday at 9:30am 9:00am. Just meet at the communications office, and we’ll go from there. It last till 2pm and a lunch is provided. I’ll meet with you here at church and then send you out with the different groups that are going out to serve our community. We basically need as many people to document the event as possible. Outreach is one of the those ministries that can really use the photos as we like to show our congregation what being the “hands and feet” of Jesus is really all about. I think it will be a great experience. If you have any questions email me, sfox@canyonridge.org. Comment below if you can paticipate.

Hanging our prints Nov 11…

Okay, we are meeting on Tuesday Nov 11th at 7pm. Just meet in the Communications office like normal then we’ll head over to the cafe to begin hanging our prints. We are going to use the frames donated, but we might be purchasing some frames as well. If you are going to bring more frames, let me know in the comments below.

What you need to do is get at least two prints made 8×10 size of your favorite photographs. I’ve got a few I’m going to get printed this weekend. Bring those on the 11th.

In the case we have more photos than expected we’ll cut some out. But know that everyone is going to represented that wants to participate.

If you have any questions let me know by email (sfox@canyonridge.org) or in the comments.

Thanks,
Shad
