Next Meeting

Thurs, April 19, 2007
205B A&S, Lansing Community College
6:30-8:00 pm

Bob Crawford - "Rumors of the demise of film have been exaggerated"

The Program: The emphasis, will be on the basics of composition, or how to look at the world from a different perspective. Admittedly, broad subjects, but I believe I have worthwhile material. To the right is an example of a photograph that I took of the World Trade buildings in the early 70s. At the time, it was still under construction.
About Bob: I worked in the film industry in New York City in the 60s, and was employed by the Instructional Media Center at Michigan State in the seventies. I have also worked in a freelance capacity as a videographer and still photographer since then. In addition, I have taught introductory courses in lighting and filmmaking at community colleges.

As far as we know, we're meeting at 205B A&S - directions below - but always check this page before each meeting as the program and location could change.

Here's a cool way to make a donation to the American Red Cross.

dealmac Fundraiser: Buy these used Macs, 100% goes to Red Cross
As cheap as we are at dealmac, from time to time we find that we can't repurpose an old Mac. Instead of giving them away, we decided this year to eBay our spare Macs as a fundraiser for our local chapter of the American Red Cross. Although your bid won't be tax-deductable, it's for a good cause, so please bid as much as you can bear. 100% of the proceeds will go to our local Red Cross. We'll toss in a free dealmac T-shirt with each Mac. Auctions close March 19. The Macs on eBay:
• Macintosh PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz; and
• Macintosh PowerMac G5 Dual 2GHz.
• Find out more about our local Red Cross, or visit RedCross.org for national information. - Yesterday at 11:26 am ET

Progress at LAMALUG: Starting with notice of our March, 2007 meeting, the LAMALUG mailing list is being managed through a program called Direct Mail and all mail is sent in both HTML and text format. The HTML version will look the same as this page complete with the graphics. The text version will load faster, but won't include graphics or formatting. Our future emails and Web pages are likely to include Flash graphics, audio and video and greater use of PDF, so a broadband connection will be more esssential. All mail from Apple and most other manufacturers is sent in the HTML format. Ed
