Money from the postcards sale needs to go towards the cost of the insurance...so when you meet on Monday enough money has to be handed over to Sandra so that she can take out the insurance.

Exhibition installation
I went to the Marie Lloyd bar today and took note of a couple of things:
1)The picture rails have not been installed yet (but they were putting up christmas decorations!). Did they say exactly when the rails would be up? You do not want to get there on Tuesday and have to wait for the rails to be put up before you can install. Please contact them and make sure that they will be up by the end of Monday!
2)Lighting! I noticed that 5 of the lights in the space were not working. They need to replace the bulbs so that each board is individually lit,and that you are allowed to angle them towards the boards. Again inform them about this before you turn up on Tuesday!
Lastly...Please make sure you get insurance before you take any equipment over!
See you there on Tuesday at about 3pm...any emergencies Ala has my mobile number.

Hackney Today Issue 172 PDF file
Check us out in the current issue of Hackney Today Newspaper! They cut few words out though. Nevertheless, it's still clear for viewers to understand and more importantly, our exhibition is advertised!
Preview:
Download PDF here: Hackney Today
I will update it for the next issue - it's more or less the same.
I'll show everyone where we can collect a copy of the Newspaper on Friday when we meet for our drifting and museum.

Another thing, I contacted this guy from Photomonth via facebook regarding whether we can post our exhibition ad up on their website, www.photomonth.org. Users subscribed to their group in facebook also gets updated on photographic exhibitions happening in East London. His reply:
Hi Alana,
Thanks for getting in touch, your project sounds very interesting. Although the exhibition is outside the official dates for photomonth we may still be able to list you on the photomonth website. To do so I need the following infomation:
Event name, event description (100 words max), venue name, venue url, venue address, opening times, start date, end date, artist/group name, artist/group url, transport info (nearest tube/bus), up to five images to choose from to be used in the listing.
The quickest way would be to email me at nednet@hotmail.com.
Good luck with everything and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hackney in focus
Created by: Jenny Brannigan, John Brown, Peter Darch, Zara Davis, Alana Lang, Sandra Madiot, Jens Poloczek, Aviv Ron. Jennie Rosberg, Ala Sokolowska, Patrick Tubridy.
Launch night: 11.12.2007 from 6pm
Exhibition runs from: 11.12.2007 - 14.12.2007 12- 11 pm
Venue: The Marie Lloyd Bar
Hackney Empire
289 Mare Street
London E8 1EJ
Nearest train station: Hackney central
“Hackney in focus” is an experimental photographic exhibition that challenges and put in to question the traditional rolls of the photographer. The availability of the digital camera in the every day life as part of a mobile phone or as a separate device, together with advanced transmition technologies such as Bluetooth open new opportunities for people to engage and communicate through the visual images of their environment. The practice of interpreting the world through photography, which was traditionally considered to be the exclusive role of the “street photographer”, is now available and can be performed by everyone.
The exhibition is the fruit of labour of a group of third year digital photography student at London south bank university. This collaboration produced a unique concept for gathering and exhibiting photographic images that were taken by the students themselves and by other members of the public. Using available popular online tools such as a blog, web site, and a Flickr account the group coordinated the collection of over 400 images relating to the area of hackney. In addition a setup will be available inside the venue five evenings prior to the opening night for the purpose of gathering images directly from mobile phones via Bluetooth. The exhibition itself will include a slide show projection and selected prints from the pool of images.
“Hackney in Focus” is a celebration of the ability and availability of photographic means in our everyday life. It represents an image of hackney through the eyes and lenses of potentially anyone. As photographers the collaborative group embrace the challenges presented by the new digital technologies on their future careers and it is their attempt to engage and explore this issue.
To submit your photos of hackney on the internet log on to: www.hackneyinfocus.com and follow the relevant link. You will need to have a Flickr account in order to do so.
Alternatively bring your mobile phone images to the Marie Lloyd Bar from 5.12.2007 – 9.12.2007 4-8pm and Bluetooth them directly to a computer on the premises.
Please leave a comment as soon as posible.
Thanks
Aviv.

SESSION NOVEMBER 21st
present: Pat, Sandra, Jennie, Ala, Alana, Patrick, Aviv and Peter.
NEXT MEETING
Next meeting will be in Hackney. We'll meet outside the Hackney Museum at 3 pm on Friday (23rd) and together we'll go see 'Discover the world on your doorstep' (read Ala's previous post about it). The suggestion is that everyone goes drifting in Hackney before we meet and after the museum visit we go to the Marie Lloyd bar to check it out after the renovation and to discuss the exhibition. We will also bring flyers and find places we can leave them at.
PRESS RELEASE
The draft that Zara made seemed to need more explaining of the idea (after looking at an example of a released press release). Aviv will compose something more to add to it and post it on the blog on Friday for everyone to give feedback (before Sunday!).
Ala will send Patrick the logo header to include in the letter (that will be a word doc) and a .pdf version of the flyer that will go out with the letter.
THE PRESSRELEASE WILL GO OUT ON SUNDAY.
If you want it to be sent somewhere specific, e-mail Patrick the address.
Patrick will subscribe to the Art Council England to be able to post the press release through them, that will go out on their mailing list.
INSURANCE
It seems the liability part will be covered by the venue (still need confirmation though) but we know for sure the equipment is not covered by any part. Sandra has got a list of the things and will check what it costs to insure it during the period we use it.
PROJECTION
We discussed the meaning of displaying the same images on the projector as in printed format and agreed on selecting images specifically for the projector. This way we can think more carefully on how these photos get a meaningful context in relation/opposition to the printed photos. We also get around the problem of having a computer connected to the projector, using a DVD looping the slideshow. Sandra will have a look at what DVD player we can use.
FLICKR
Jennie posts more descriptive information of the exhibition and how to submit photos on the Flickr group.
FOAMBOARDS
Everyone approaches at least two companies asking them to sponsor the exhibition with 10 30*40 inches 10 mm thick (preferably) foamboards. We can offer logo in catalogue, on some posters, the web site and on the wall in the venue.
FURTHER ADVERTISING
Alana will contact photomonth.org to see if they can get us on their listings. Alana will also write another advert for the next issue of Hackney Today - deadline on Friday. Everyone distribute flyers.
POSTCARDS
If you haven't sold your postcards you will have to pay for all of them yourselves (50p each). They were specifically printed for us to sell and raise money to the exhibition, not to keep them ourselves!

NLB Time Change
Hi there, good to see you the other day.
I have checked in with sheik and he is looking for contract.
He informs me that the dates 4-8 on the 5th 6th and 7th have to be changed because of the cabaret. So you can have the space for two hours 4-6
And yes we are open on Saturdays because of the pantomime.
On the 14th there is a party booked so it would just be your photographs, but from what I understand that's ok with you anyway.
Will keep in touch and will badger him about the contract.
regards maria
The venue keep on changing dates and times, its becoming hard to managed. I am arranging a meeting with Maria on Friday at the MLB. Please feel free to come and discuss it with us.

foam core boards
I did some research regarding the foam boards, sent some emails to different companies, the one which is the cheaper is diyframind
so in the worst case scenario we will have to buy them, for a pack of 10 20x30in 10mm(the biggest they do) it will cost us 46.20 so keep selling the postcard as we might have to spend some money.
anyway on Friday me and Jennie we will go and talk to managers in Cass Art and Graphics.

Couple of things...
to mention.
Hopefully fixed the niggles with the website: if you find any let me or Jennie know. Pat and Sandra I have reentered the slideshow code. Hopefully that will help can't think of any other reason why yours didn't show, sorry.
For those of you that wern't there today we are all going to try to take more pictures on Friday and then meet up at the Hackney Museum at 3pm to learn a bit more about the area.
If you have been useless at selling your postcards like me bring some with you because I have arranged for us to leave at the Tab shop at university.

Hi
I've created HackneyinFocus user on flickr(In case we have to upload some photos during the exhibition to hackneyinfocus group and the person submitting the photo is not a flickr user and doesnt have the flick account, so it will appear on the flickr group page under the HackneyInFocus name so we don't have problems...)
anyway to log in to flickr as HackneyInFocus, the yahoo Id Is: hackney.infocus
and password is the same as for the blog.

Hackney in Focus Web Site
It is up and running, not perfect, we need to sort some things out with how it runs on Firefox (looks reallly strange). It works fine on Safari. Please can you try it on Internet Explorer and others and leave us some feedback for adjustments. There is also a wordpress blog up: hackneyinfocus.wordpress.com for documenting the exhibition. Same password as for this one.

Hi Sandra, Marie Lloyd almost completed, just additional tables and sofas to come.
Still trying to ok the problem of 'hanging photographs'.
Just looking in the diary and it appears that on the 12th there is a christmas party booked form 12 to 2.30.. So the 11th would probably be your last day.
On the 7th 8th and 9th there is a cabaret evening, but I did mention that weekends we get quite busy both upstairs and downstairs.
This should not trouble you if over the weekend you just want to display photographs.
During the day times using the projector should be ok, but obviously busy evenings could pose a problem.
I think that we should just do it and see where the problems are afterwards and make adjustments accordingly.
Will contact you early next week, any problems call me ok.
regards maria

SESSION NOVEMBER 14th
present: Pat, Sandra, Jennie, Ala, Jenny, Jens, Zara and John.
FEEDBACK ON FUNDING FROM THE UNIVERSITY
Daniel turned up to give us feedback from Suzy on what posts on our list are more possible/less possible to get funding for from the University, and what we need to do next.
- We need to try and get the foam boards sponsored by a shop or a company. If that is not possible, we might be able to get it funded by the University.
-Printing of press release letters, envelopes and postage will be covered for by the University.
- The exhibition rail will be paid for by the University. Sandra and John contacts Gordon (who will order it) if it has not been installed by the Venue already.
- Printing of photographs for the walls can possibly be solved by the University letting us borrow one of their printers. The University will also supply us with ink and paper. Jenny and Jens (?) contacts Chris to check the details and possibilities.
- Funding for the catalogue kind of comes down to whether we want to put the money on this now or on a final year show catalogue. Everyone seemed to agree that it is better to save the money for the latter. We still want to do the post catalogue but cut the printing down to a few ex to send to sponsors. It will still be possible for people to order it from LULU.
- Daniel also raised the issues of insurances. We need to get the equipment we borrow insured since we are responsible for it when it leaves the University. There might also be issues of liability if someone gets hurt on the equipment. Sandra and John checks with the Venue tomorrow what will be covered by them and what's not. What's not we need to get insurance for. Sandra forwards info to Jenny and Jens who calls different insurance companies to check what it will cost.
PRESS RELEASE
For next week Zara will make a draft for a press release letter and we will have a look at it together in the Wednesday session.
Zara also creates a Hackney in Focus MySpace and makes friends to promote the exhibition.
VENUE VISIT
Sandra and John visits venue to see what it looks like, confirm the dates and checks insurance and arrangement possibilities/restrains after the renovation.
CONTACT SUZY
Jenny and Jens will e-mail Suzy of what we will do next to work towards the funding, and asks for digital file logo. They will also contact insurance companies for price examples.
WEB SITE
Peter and Jennie works on getting it finished for Monday.
PRINTING FLYERS
We finally have the correct details as a print ready file. Ala will hand it over to Photobox for printing tomorrow.
PRINTING FLICKR PHOTOS
We will print the flickr photos for next week so we can start going through them.
DIARY BLOG
Jennie will set up a new blog (perhaps wordpress) that we can use as an exhibition diary and post photos of our preparations and the actual exhibition

Resonance FM forum post
Its similar to the email but just wanted to let everyone know what was said... also on the forum(feel free to check it out) i replied to a topic called 'Home Sweet Hackney' this person too is trying to promote Hackney so hopefully they will be interested and take part
A post to all artist/ photographers and lovers of both.
I'm part of a group of 3rd year digital photography students and at present we're curating a exhibition of Hackney. It will be displayed in the Marie Lloyd bar of the Hackney Empire.
The nature of the exhibition is to take photographs of
Hackney, be it done with an SLR, compact or a mobile
phone camera... This is to explore the idea that
everyone can be a photographer.
We would really like as many people as possible to get
involved as the exhibition depends on the participation of the public.
I thought perhaps resonance listeners would be intrested in such a project!
If you would like to take part in this all you need to do is take a few images of Hackney which perhaps show how you feel about the borough(whatever you decide) and then you can either upload them to flickr.com if you have an account or our website from the 19th Nov(find below) or call into the Marie Lloyd Bar between 4-8pm from the 5/12/07- 9/12/07 (if you submit them this way just bring the digital file and we will print them or if its from a phone you can bluetooth it to us).
The images you submit will have the chance to be
displayed in the final exhibition as well as being
included in our catalogue and website. The final exhibition opening is on the 11/12/07 between 4-8pm. This could be a brilliant opportunity to have your photographs displayed in a exhibition...
You can find more information about what we are doing

Focus group-you can upload images here)

If you have any other questions just post back...
I hope you're interested and would like to take part, look forward to hearing from you.

Hackney museum
doing my research about Hackney I come across very interesting article(unfortunately it was in polish magazine) about Hackney Museum I think we should go there as they have very 'useful' exhibition for our project. One of their permanent exhibitions is :
Discover the world on your doorstep
Hackney Museum features exciting new displays on the history of immigration to Hackney over the past 1000 years.
The museum looks at the stories of some of the amazing range of people that have made their homes here from Saxon times onwards. Their stories are brought to life with interviews capturing the experiences of real people which visitors can listen to on handsets situated throughout the display.
Hackney's tradition of welcoming newcomers means that its history encompasses a wide variety of stories. The new displays reveal this diversity through a range of fascinating interviews, images and objects. Some, like a child's sculpture from Sierra Leone or a propaganda sheet from Nazi Germany, powerfully illustrate the forces that have driven people to leave their homes. Others, like the contents of a Yiddish printing business, show the opportunities people have found here to make a living and start new lives.
But the museum is not just about objects in glass cases. There are lots of 'hands-on' activities designed to make it a lively and fun place for children to visit. You can have a go at loading a Saxon boat, try on historical costume, bring spooky ghosts to life and try your hand at making Victorian matchboxes against the clock.
The museum is also equipped with the latest computer technology. Touch screen computers let you visit on line exhibitions, map your family history, take a virtual tour of a Victorian home and eavesdrop on the fascinating memories of local people from around the world.
The displays cost nearly £400,000 to build and were entirely funded by a grant from the National Lottery.
* TUES, WEDS, FRI: 9.30am - 5.30pm. THUR: 9.30am - 8pm, SAT: 10am - 5pm. Closed: SUN, MON and BANK HOLIDAYS.
* Fees: Free Admission.
* Practice Boundaries: Hackney.

MEETING NOVEMBER 12th
present: Zara, Sandra, Patrick, Ala, Jennie and Peter.
The meeting felt a bit informal since there was only a few of us there, but nevertheless it was a meeting...
NEXT MEETING
Wednesday session.
DEADLINE
The deadline for the web-site is November 19th. We decided the flyers should be done by then as well. That gives us two weeks to promote the event. The 19th is also the date when it will be advertised in the Hackney local paper.
FLYERS
Ala will e-mail Lo-tec the info they need for making the flyer designed print-ready + the Photobox logo that needs to go on it. She will also ask for Lo-tec's logo for the web-site and a digital file of the flyer so Peter and Jennie can try to incorporate it in the web-design.
DATES
The dates have not been a 100% confirmed. It's been difficult for Sandra to get it confirmed since no one is working in the venue until the 15th due to the ongoing renovation. But basically they have said it is okay.
VENUE
Sandra and John will go to the venue and see what it looks like after the renovation on Thursday. Are the rails up?
FUNDING
How is it going? Awaiting info from Jens and Jenn.
LOGOS
We need logos from our collaborating partners. So if you do get sponsorship from a company make sure to get a digital file logo for the web-site.
POSTCARDS
If everyone sells their postcards for 50 p each it makes approximately £230 in total, which is quite a lot of money! Come on and make an effort selling them! We need the money!
REMINDER OF AVATAR IMAGE AND LINKS
Jennie and Peter has to finish the web-site soon that means everyone needs to send:
1. Square shaped image of themselves (small file)
2. The e-mail address they want published on the site
3. The addresses to Flickr and/or to your Portofolio- site (if you have one)
Send this to jennierosberg@yahoo.co.uk.
This is the third time this request has been posted and just a few persons have responded so far.

Just recieved
i just received this so- we are set to print tomorrow (after Ala answers these Qs
Patrick
Yes i did, all more or less sorted this end, just two things - do you
have or can you provide us with, a logo for the people who are doing the
printing for you ( i think you wanted it to put onto the flyer ?) and
just whether the printers need us to allow a bleed on the flyers, if so
how much - we are assuming also that a jpg will be a suitable file for
them to work from - as im sure you know sometimes particular places have
particular preferences so could you double check this as well then we
can save amendments later - all the artwork is finished though so
tomorrow shouldnt be a problem at all

Magazine Listings
This is what I'm emailing to the magazines we want a listing in. Is it ok, I've never placed a listing before so don't know how to go about the email and cant find info on it on the site so hope this is ok...
To Whom It May Concern,
We are 3rd year Digital Photography students at the London South Bank University and at present we are preparing to curate an exhibition from the 5th till 11th December’07.
Our aim is to involve the local community of Hackney in taking photographs of their immediate environment. In order to encourage people to look at their surroundings differently we are promoting photography from digital cameras as well as mobile phones. The collaborative work is a progress between students and community members and will be the body of work displayed. This means that the exhibition will be a growing piece of work using images from both parties.

Hackney Empire is an entertainment establishment in the heart of Hackney Central and they are happy to provide us the needed exhibition space at their venue the Marie Lloyd Bar.
London South Bank University has agreed to support our project by providing us with the necessary equipment, as well as some of the funds needed.
PhotoBox is our resource for printing images, courtesy of the company.
Lo-tech is a local graphic design agent and enthusiastically offered us to take on the roll of designing our flyer.
Please find our outstanding funding needs attached. To show our utmost gratitude of your financial support we will be including your name, details and logo in the catalogue and website.
At this point we are of course very pleased to invite you to the exhibition. We would also like to thank you for your time and hope that we can welcome you on board.
Sincerely
Jens Poloczek

flyer ...
Hi Patrick,
This is Oli from Lo-tec in regards to the graphic
proposals. Please find attached the pieces we've created so far. Please
note that odd bits of copy on our designs arent completely accurate -
could you just confirm those with us in your reply. Couple of other
things, not by any means wishing to step on any toes but a couple of
phrases used on our designs we thought might work well - by all means
use them if they work for you guys - and in regards to the overall
branding, we havnt used all of the fonts you suggested simply just for
aesthetic purposes.
Let us know your thoughts and if or what changes you need us to make.
Best Regards
Oli

Alana
Email to digiphoto group
Hi eveyone, I've written an email to the digiphoto group telling them about our project and encouraging them to get involved, Just sent it so hope thats ok. find it below:
The 3rd year digital photography students are currently curating an exhibition in the Marie Lloyd bar of the Hackney Empire. The exhibition is taking place from the 5th until the 9th December.
The nature of the exhibition is to take photographs of Hackney, be it done with an SLR, compact or a mobile phone camera... This is to explore the idea that everyone can be a photographer.
We would really like as many people as possible to get involved and we think it would be great if you all took some time to participate. This project is an opportunity for the students and tutors to show their support for each other.
The images you submit will have the chance to be displayed in the final exhibition as well as being included in our catalogue and website.
You can find more information about what we are doing at:

Thanks for your support,

THIS IS A QUESTION
-In relation to the work that has been submitted to the Flickr site ‘Hackney in Focus’, I would like to clarify our position on who it is that should/shouldn’t submit work to the group and eventually the work to be displayed at the In-Focus Exhibition. It has been said that our position is that of curators, where our responsibilities are to the creation of a successful group exhibition with the main input of work to be displayed being provided by ‘others’ – the public. The original concept was to ask people to send in images from their mobiles, we then do a drift through Hackney and upload our images onto the Flickr site.
As it is at the moment on the Flickr site, most of the work has been uploaded by a photographer called Dinoboy and very few by the members of our group. The work we show cannot be a haphazard collection of images that we put together at the last moment on the night of opening, therefore I feel that we must ‘all’ submit a body of work either by mobile, compact or SLR camera from one or many drifts from across the borough of Hackney so that we have a collection of work that has been derived from sampling the cohort of the 3rd year Digi-photo group as well as work from other people who submit.

Hi Sandra
Unfortunately all of us are out during tomorrow day.. would it be possible for you to post us the information through our door when you are visiting the Marie Lloyd?
It's - just and amusement arcade as you walk left out of the Marie Lloyd.
Hope this is ok. Also if we could arrange a suitable time to show you our ideas- Thurs before 3 looks best for us at the moment but let us know...
Thank
Tom

Inviting Hackney Today to exhibition...
I suggested that we invite and/ or try to encourage a 'hackney today' reporter to come to our exhibition to cover our story and hopefully get a positive rather than negative (which i reckon we should and if not it's a learning curve for all of us) review in the paper, i think it would be a great result to add to the post project presentation stuff. Does this sound good or is it just over doing it...?
To Patrick, should we talk about this further or are you good with continuing with that or do you want my help...if anything just let me kno and i'll be happy to help out with it!

BUDGET BREAKDOWN!!!
Hey all,
as everybody knows Jenn and me are responsible for raising funds. Thinking this task through, we have some wonky accounts in this matter and need to clarify how much we actually need and what for? So far I have taken into account:
-Costs for website
After my calculations it is already covered by the post cards.
(Pete, you can see me about this)
-Printing of exhibited images
This issue is a tricky one, since it is like a growing organism of unpredictable variables (nevertheless, we planted the seed).
Meaning: How many images can fit on that rail? How long is the rail? And what size will the photos be? We are trimming it after all.
-Catalogue
Raising money for a post-exhibition catalogue causes some difficulties in addressing the sponsors. Let me try to break down my problem with this. After my information the department at our university will sponsor projects that promote the university and show its contribution into art. Will a credit in the catalogue be the thing they are looking for, cuz after all who is going to receive the catalogue (quantity)? Raising money for a post-exhibition catalogue creates a much bigger money question, considering the local community involved.... unless we stick to the Lulu solution. We need some urgent decision making with this...
What else needs money and how much to make this project run smooth?

Web page Links
Me and Pete was thinking of listing the names of people in the group and links to our other portfolio pages, flickr's etc on the web page.
Can everyone please think of what info they want to have on it, and bring for Wednesday?

MEETING NOVEMBER 5th
Present: Ala, Jennie, Alana, Sandra, Patrick, John, Jens and Jenny.
NEXT MEETING
Wednesday session.
POSTCARD DESIGN
LoTec will make a layout suggestion for the flyers for Thursday. Patrick suggested someone hands over the design material already done = info and text on the exhibition plus the website layout to see if they can interweave some of it in the so it will be coherent with the web page. Sandra goes to LoTec on Tuesday to show material and we still continue working on our own layout in case the group does not find their design suitable.
PRINTING POSTCARDS
Will be printed at Photobox (through Ala) and will be single sided photo paper prints.
FUNDRAISING
Jens and Jenny brought fund raising letter and will go round at University knocking on doors.
selling postcards
Three persons handed in their money today. Everyone needs to bring the money they have got as soon as possible(!) and give it to Jens.
Ala £5
Sandra £4.50
Jennie £ 11.80
= £ 21.30 so far...
FUNDRAISING SUGGESTION
For the record Sandra made a suggestion that we can post a letter to the Flickr group asking the members for donations. Question raised as a response to it was: how do they donate? Might be tricky to get the money. Could this idea be developed more?
ADVERTISING IN HACKNEY PAPER
Alana will compose a letter and post on blog for tomorrow, feedback possibilities until Thursday, deadline is Friday. There still is one more opportunity to advertise in addition to this.
CONTRACT SIGNING
Sandra and John goes to see the venue tomorrow (Tuesday 6th) to get the contract signed. They will suggest that we will be in between 4-8 p.m. every day on the 5th- 9th of December. Suggested opening day, with a bit of celebration involved, is Friday.
VICE CHAIRPERSON
Patrick was elected the vice chairperson of the meetings.
INVITE LETTER
Patrick forwarded that the invite letter draft is made but that Zara has got the file (she was away today). Can it be posted on the blog?
PRICE OF CATALOGUE
Patrick has investigated price of printing catalogue 6 x 9, 4-5 pages to be about £250 for a hundred. The group wants to use lulu (online print on demand). One possibility is to put it up on lulu then print ex. amount of copies for the money we have raised, so we do have a physical catalogue to sell/hand out.
PRINTING PHOTOGRAPHS FOR THE WALLS
Jennie will contact local photo printing businesses to see if we can get photo- prints sponsored by them. It would be convenient to get the material printed every day and put on the walls (boards) gradually. If not we need to come up with other ways to do this, either pay or print ourselves.

Web page
Here are some pages me and Pete have worked with. As Pete posted earlier we need your input on what text to put on the about page. All pages are still a bit rough, needs some adjustments, but lots of the work has been making the page-structure and getting the linking right. We'll show it in action on Wednesday.

Website Introduction
Here is a rough version of the introduction to the exhibition on the website. Still needs some work and thought it would be good to get some input from you guys...
This exhibition is being curated by third year Digital Photography students at London South Bank University.
We wanted to explore the idea of everyone being a photographer. With cameras in mobile phone now everyone is a photographer. We facilitate the means for anyone to exhibit their photographs of the vibrant community of Hackney.
Now photography belongs to the people we want to put exhibiting photographs in the hands of the people too. On this website photographs will be exhibited randomly. A selection of photographs will also be exhibited at Marie Lloyd pub in Hackney.
Peter
PS Apologies in advance for not making the meeting tomorrow. See you all Tuesday.

contract
I still did nt get the contract sign >:( ! The manager want to take some time to read it even if we wrote it together, I am a bit frustrated. The new person in charge rose some issues about when the exhibition will happen during the day or weekend. I am going back there tomorrow at 4pm. Would appreciate if someone volunteer to come along, so we have more than one in put from the group. I am sure Zara will up date you concerning low-tech, the short summary is they ll be happy to design the logo, post card and flyer but wont print it. They re-direct us to a local print shop which would take around 100£ for 1000 post card. Next meeting with Low Tech Thursday.
Regards, Sandra
PS: call me if you can come romorrow Friday 4PM Marie Loyd Pub

Flyer examples
I have tried several different layouts with text. It was difficult to use text on them except the shadow one, because they have so many distinctive lines in them. Have tried different fonts as well. The top one is my favourite. If you feel you have better ideas ask Ala to email the mosaic photos to you and make an example. Or perhaps the text-logo shouldn't be on the image? /Jennie
