581 <P>As part of the June 2007 <A HREF="http://www.festivalofthephotograph.com/">Festival of the Photograph</A> in Charlottesville, Virginia, festival organizers have generously offered to host a slideshow of images that would include members of the Lightstalkers community. We are tentatively calling the show The Human Condition.</P> <P><A HREF="http://www.lightstalkers.org/andylevin">Andy Levin</A> has graciously offered to help with the selection process. Photographers are invited to submit up to five images directly to Andy via email, andyimages10001@yahoo.com. (We are toying with the idea of doing a POD exhibit catalog down the road, when we might ask you to resubmit higher res versions of your images.) Andy has promised to make the selections as inclusive of all interested LSers as possible. (A big thanks to Jon Golden, the technical producer of the festival. Jon also happens to be an LSer who has been an advocate for including as many LSers as possible in the event.)</P> <P><B>Image Requirements</B> - Submit up to five images, preferably in a zip file. Jon. G. says the images need to fit in a 1920x1080 frame (35mm = 1625x1080) saved as JPEG (max) or TIFF. Min. res of 72 DPI. (Maximum height of 1080; maximum width of 1920.) Note that since this is a public presentation, the organizers ask that you remember that the host city might consider certain images unsuitable for outdoor display. Include your full name (both given and family names) as part of the filename, and number your submissions sequentially (e.g. johnsmith_1, johnsmith_2, etc.) For those worried about color calibration, the projector will be using the <A HREF="http://www.adobe.com/digitalimag/adobergb.html">Adobe RGB 1998 color space</A>. Please include IPTC information on all image submissions with at least the proper copyright/byline data.</P> <P><B>Theme</B> - To give the slideshow a rough thematic structure, we are looking to the great <A HREF="http://www.moma.org/research/archives/highlights/06_1955.html">Family of Man exhibit curated by Edward Steichen</A> for inspiration. (The original exhibit was "grouped thematically around subjects pertinent to all cultures, such as love, children, and death. [...] The photographs included in the exhibition focused on the commonalties that bind people and cultures around the world.") Photographers are encouraged but not required to submit images that might fit under this loose theme.</P> <P>If you have any questions about the submissions process or the slideshow, please post them here.</P> <P><B>Links</B></P> <P><A HREF="http://www.festivalofthephotograph.org/">Festival of the Photograph</A><BR> <A HREF="http://michaelnicknichols.com/">Nick Nichols</A>, National Geographic photographer and festival organizer<BR> Interview of festival organizer Nick Nichols, <A HREF="http://wayneyang.wordpress.com/2007/02/07/nick-nichols-on-festival-of-the-photograph-part-i/">Part I</A>, <A HREF="http://wayneyang.wordpress.com/2007/02/08/468/">Part II</A> and <A HREF="http://wayneyang.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/nick-nichols-on-festival-of-the-photograph-part-iii/">Part III</A>.<br> <A HREF="http://www.jongolden.com/">Jon Golden</A>, festival technical producer<BR> <A HREF="http://www.lightstalkers.org/andylevin">Andy Levin LS profile</A></P> Thanks!
