2023-05-16 Fine Art Photography SIG meeting notes
We met online using ZOOM 6:00pm-9:00pm
The goal of our Fine Art Photography SIG is to help each other to create fine art from our photography.
The Fine Art SIG is a place where artists support each other and nurture creativity in others.
Unrequested criticism can feed an artist's fear of failure and stifle their creative growth.

OUR MAIN DISCUSSION TOPIC WAS "Intentional Camera Movement".
We had a great discussion of ICM, including many examples of member ICM work. The discussion was inspiring so we decided to continue working on ICM for another meeting.
We also discussed the impact that AI might have on photography and journalism in general.

CONSTRUCTIVE CRITIQUES AND PERSONAL PROJECTS
We discussed a few members' works, and what might be tried to improve them.
PICK A TOPIC FOR THE NEXT MEETING
We picked the topic "even more ICM or intentional camera movement "
AGENDA FOR OUR NEXT FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY SIG MEETING - Tue 6/20/2023 @6:00pm
1. The main topic will be "Intentional Camera Movement".
2. We will hold constructive critiques (optional) Pick as many as 3 images that you would like critiqued, and be prepared to show them by sharing your screen during the ZOOM meeting.
3. We will pick a topic for the next meeting
If you don't have time to research the topic, or you don't have any images that you want to have critiqued, that is OK, you can just attend the meeting and participate when you want.
I would like to see more pictures from our Fine Art SIG in the regular club meeting slideshows, and especially on the new Facebook page: Fort Collins Photo Art which is open to the public and more oriented towards Fine Art.
Jim Limburg will send out the Meeting ID, passcode, and meeting link when we have scheduled the meeting, which will be about a week before the meeting date.
Please email Mike, info@fcdcc.com, when you find mistakes, missing information or if you have suggestions for the Fine Art Photography SIG and I will try to address the issues.
