FUNDRAISING!

After everyone left it was only me and Ferran selling the muffins all over campus. I have to say running around with Ferran was an adventure to say the least! We pretty much harassed the entire campus trying to get them to buy our baked goods lol. We found out that the Psychology Department was probably the most welcoming. They showed the most interest in our traveling bake sale, probably because they were intrigued by our behavior so they may have been analyzing the situation, which in the end worked out for the best since they gave us their money :) Not so friendly was the Anthropology Department. We won't get into details but let's just say not very welcoming :/ As we were selling our products we were able to spread the word even more about our exhibition and people seemed really interested in it so we should have a big turn out! Overall today was a big success, we gather a total amount of $158 with a base of $30 so I think we make $128 in profit! Yay! 

ATTENTION PEOPLE!

It is now sunday and I still don't have the measurements and quantity of pieces from Kristen, Hayley, Tristan and Ferran. Please guys answer the post. Even a slight idea would be sufficient to give us something to work with and know where to place you best. Don't wait until the last minute to answer. If we don't know what you are doing, then we will just have to "guesstimate" and you will have to accomodate yourself to those parameters. I can't stress enough that I have been adamantly asking for this information for some time. Just answer back!

LOFTS MEASUREMENTS

Ok guys so here it is! A few days ago we were able to get all the measurements from the room we will be working with. I hope this helps you picture the space that we will be hanging our pieces in. Now it is imperative that we get an idea of the sizes and amount of images you are looking to put in the show, this way me and Kenyatta are able to come up with two possible scenarios of arrangements for the rooms. Keep in mind if you do not tells us how big or how much you are looking to put in, you may not get what you want in the end. Overall we have 10 full walls to work with with and 2 small walls that could be used as possible extra space for someone who needs a little more room. Please don't take this inquire lightly, we need to know what you will be putting up (size and quantity) so that we can arrange the space properly.

Enjoy!  

A LITTLE MORE INSIGHT?

So here is the link I found about the synopsis for the documentary I mentioned in my last post. Hope this gives you guys some more information about it. I am still trying to see if I find it online. In the meantime, please enjoy this link.

BLIND PHOTOGRAPHY?

While I was browsing through channels the other day I came across this documentary about photographers, blind photographers. I was hoping I was going to be able to find the documentary online but as of now all I found was the trailer for it. I hope that if you do have HBO maybe try to watch it. The documentary's name is Dark Light: The Art of Blind Photographers. It showcases the work of Pete Eckhert, Bruce Hall, and Henry Butler. It's about a 30 minute documentary so it's not too long. I hope you guys get a chance to watch it.

PINHOLE IMAGES

I have finally gotten to shoot with my pinhole camera and I have to say I am as excited as the first time I shot with the Holga. The developing is a bit faster and the scanning is not as much of a pain. The first images was done with a 17 min exposure, the second one with 15 mins, and the last one was about 12 mins. I think my favorites are the last two. Feedback?

FRAMES?

While looking at prices for wire and things of that sort I ended up getting prices for frames. The prices I got were mostly from Hobby Lobby or Home Depot. I looked at a variety of sizes and prices and hope that this helps when you are in look out for some frames for you pieces.

Frames with Glass (wood)---Exhibition (type).
These have a simple black frame. I did purchase some for the Juried Exhibition and they were light weight, so they're easy to carry, and elegant in a way. 
16x20 -- $29.99
24x36 -- $49.99
11 3/4x36 -- $34.99
22x28 -- $44.99
18x24 -- $34.99

Frames with Glass (plastic)---Thin (type).
These frames are a bit more on the cheap side. I don't think I would recommend them for the exhibition but I don't know everyone's budget and if treated with care it may not look too bad. As well, they are light in weight, even more because the frame itself is not very thick.
16x20 -- $9.99
24x36 -- $19.99
11 3/4x36 -- $11.99
14x18 -- $14.99
22x28 -- $15.99
18x24 -- $12.99

All of the prices I got at Hobby Lobby. Now you all know that most, if not all the time the frames are 50% off! You can get two frames for the price of one, which to me seems like a pretty decent deal. 

You can as well sign up to get the weekly coupons from Hobby Lobby and get extra discounts there. Not that I am trying to sponsor Hobby Lobby but it is close and when there are discounts available there are beneficial to us. I am really just trying to get you guys an idea of prices and give you a starting point of comparison when you go and get your own prices. I am sure by now you should have a good idea of where you like to shop for your frames but if you don't here is a good way to start.

Now...... Glass
If you were looking to make your own frames or getting simply the frames from a shop you will need glass. I got the prices from Home Depot.

Glass--only comes in standard sizes. If you need to cut it, things may get even more costly or dangerous.
24x30" -- $10.38
12x36" -- $6.30
18x36" -- $9.37
24x36" -- $12.39
30x36" -- $15.68
16x20" -- $4.90

Hope this helps guys. If you find better deals yourself, please post it. 
Enjoy!
