The San Diego Photography Collective Print Exchange

Cafe Loma (map)

Selected By: Dan Chusid

This PRINT EXCHANGE EVENT is limited to 35 attendees with a waiting list.

• Bring a photographic print of your work (ANY subject matter:) to trade with your fellow members. The print should be something that could be displayed on a wall but does not have to be matted (but can be). Color or black and white, ANY subject matter. 

• Prints should be brought to this event in a manila envelope or wrapped up so that the imagery cannot be seen beforehand. Each one will be numbered and corresponding numbers will be picked from a hat by members until all prints have been distributed. When all the prints have been distributed, we will open them and view them one by one in their numbered order. 

• You can trade prints afterwards if you'd like. 

PRINT SIZES SHOULD BE 8x10 or 8x12 (but can be slightly larger, but NOT smaller). Please ADD YOUR NAME to the back of the print.

• NOTE: If you do NOT bring a print, you will NOT receive one. We are hoping that ALL attendees will be bringing a print to share.

REMEMBER: You are highly ENCOURAGED to bring a print to this event though it is NOT mandatory.

• Meetup at 6:30 to get food and drinks while socializing in the cafe. Print exchange will begin at approximately 7:00.

 

We are now meeting at 6:30 PM at Cafe Loma in the Sports Arena area each month. Join us there for our next meetup and meet your fellow group members, sip a cup of your favorite beverage and enjoy some fresh food while we discuss all things photographic. ~ NOTE: This venue will be open for our group exclusively ~ Cafe Loma is a nice friendly little coffeehouse with FREE WiFi and a very hospitable owner, Jodie, who is originally from England. There is also wall space for ART if you would like a place to possibly display/sell your work. There is seating inside and out for about 30 or so. The location is easy to find in the Midway Town Center, right next to Just For The Halibut and Souplantation and there is abundant parking. There are many eateries in the center and Cafe Loma offers a full food menu plus many varieties of coffees, teas and more. Our group will be given a 10% discount on our food purchases and I encourage you to SUPPORT the cafe in exchange for their hospitality in hosting us. Cafe Loma 3960 West Point Loma Blvd. San Diego, CA 92110 [masked]

Bring your imagery to share, whether it be prints, snapshots, online or on digital devices! Got a new camera you're not sure how to use? Need advice on where to photograph or someone to partner up with for some outdoor photography? Just want to talk photography? This is the place!

Join us and meet with your fellow photography group members in a new, friendly and relaxed setting. Talk photography and share your photo work or view other member's imagery. This is also a good place to network for upcoming photo outings and events. Members are encouraged to share their expertise with other members. The more we all learn, the better pictures we take. If you'd like, you can bring something to the meeting that members can photograph to work on better photographic creativity. This event is FREE and friends are welcome to attend.  

Member's photos are on the "photos" page for viewing. Browse our newly remodeled galleries! There are also more images located on the Northern Photo Group's website. Click the link to get there and go to "photos". Further links to individual member's website galleries are located in the message boards. You're also encouraged to make use of the message boards to buy/sell equipment, post notices for upcoming events you think might interest members, talk photography or related subject matter, etc. For more information, see [url=http://www.photo.meetup.com/208]http://www....] [img]http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/digital...] .

    I'm from Alaska so is there something on my site you would specifically like me to print? What about bringing more than one print? Have not done this before but seems like a great idea. Artwithinnature.com

    I don't know what the rest of the group thinks but I love your work. I think it would be nice if you contributed a photo of the northern lights or the glaciers. They are beautiful and subjects that few of us have the opportunity to photograph ourselves.

    A serious OMG! After reading Rhonda E's comment I decided to look at Mark's website myself. His work is absolutely fabulous. It will be a true pleasure to be able to see anything you have done and to speak with you. I only made one trip to Alaska many years ago and before photography for me, but I loved. I do agree with Rhonda that seeing thing from Alaska that we never see here would be really great.

    Your Alaskan landscapes and Nature Portraits are simply outstanding.

    It's the individual photographers choice on what to bring. Just remember, you'll be giving it away and will get someone else's photo in return which could be something on an amateur level on up to a professional level. Since the drawing is random at these events, you just never know what you'll go home with. - Remember that matting your print is entirely optional.

    Mark your work is amazing. Even though it's quite a drive for me, I think I want to go to this meetup just to meet you and pick your brain a bit.

    Thank you all for the nice comments. It was a pleasure to see all the inspiring work last night. Really makes me want to get away from the computer and walk around with the camera. I didn't get to talk with many of you so if you have questions you can pm me stadsklev at gmail.com

  • Jennifer
    I loved the variety of photographers work. The range of experience makes for a great group.
  • Steve Cherry
    I rated this a 5 because I don't really think I could think of a way to improve it ;0) The event was well planned and attended, many of the photos were beautifully mounted and matted, and there was a lot of collective experience on hand to answer tech questions and offer great resources for people to use and learn from. Last but not least - this was a very friendly and approachable group of people.
  • Mike Marcus
    Very enjoyable time, even for a novice like myself. The meeting is well run by Dan in a relaxed enviroment.
