Opening night 20th March

Um... is there a time?

[biggerry]

Um... is there a time?

I would say 5-6pm, this gives peole who are travelling time to get home afterwwards etc.. this also gives the option for nibbles and drinks followed by dinner or just have an early dinner before turning up. thoughts?

I'm looking forward to coming along.

[Zimprints]

Sale price for prints - as the prints are roughly the same size, I recommend keeping the price the same. I don't believe that it will be difficult to come to a consensus on the night that will probably fall between $250 - $350.

Cheers,
Callan.

[tommyg]

I think that price range sounds pretty good

[biggerry]

probably fall between $250 - $350.

I can run with that, this is inline with a few comments that came with images...

A big thanks to Gerry and Callan for all the work that is going into this exhibition.

[dawesy]

Thought I'd drop in and let you know I should be there on the night for some nibbles!

[colin_12]

I should be able to come too. Woo Hoo.

[biggerry]

Great to hear people are coming along for the opening night! can we get everyone who is planning on turnign up for the night to post here so I can get an idea of how many people will be there - I am organising drinks and food and would liek some idea of the numbers!.

Also we are going to make a poster to hang out the front to get a some advertising, does anyone have any objections? More importantly is anyone NOT going to have their image for sale and have objections to having a thumbnail on this poster??

I have done a real quick poster design - note i am crap at this so if anyone can do better feel free to knock something up!

[whitey]

Gerry, I cannot make it unfortunately on the opening night. Poster looks great, also just checked the online gallery - the photos are amazing.

[gstark]

I'm going to try to get there ..... should be a great evening

[Mr Darcy]

Pam and I should be there, probably with a third wheel

[ATJ]

I'm planning to come and Vicki may come, too.

[tommyg]

Doesn't look like Chica or I will be getting there for the opening night, but will be in Sydney for the final day of the exhibition - so will try and get there then!

[Alpha_7]

Depending on my morning, I'll try to make it out for opening night.

[CraigVTR]

Love the poster and I have no objections to a sale.

I am waiting for Friday Fare Frenzy to see if I can get a cheap flight.

[dviv]

I'll be there and Katie will join us a bit later.

I've invited a few friends and family and should get about 7-10 people stopping through during the evening.

[Willy wombat]

Hope that it goes very well guys. Its exciting to be a part of it.

I only wish I could be there in person to see the collection

http://wwphoto.redbubble.com/sets/8306/ ... -the-light

[aim54x]

I will be there..most likely +1 at this stage

[blacknstormy]

oops - sorry, guess I was supposed to reply ... the poster looks great, and if someone wants to buy my print, they are more than welcome I'm guessing that it won't sell though  LOL
Have a great time tomorrow - will be thinking of you all
Hugs

[Matt. K]

Put us down for 3...Matt. K and wife and Stubbsy. See you there!

[Chica]

I have no objections to a sale either (not that I expect one, hehe). Have an awesome opening night and please post heaps of photos of us inter-staters.

Might be difficult to photo 'us inter-staters' if we're not there!

[biggerry]

I am adding websites and business names against the photographers..I know its super late notice but if you have a webbie or specific name you want to be listed as let me know by earlier tomorrow (10 ish)

Also if you have a caption or title for your image send that along too.

I have taken webbies from signatures...let me know if you do not want this!

[surenj]

Good luck guys and have fun!! Would love to see some snaps of the occation.

Gerry, well done for pulling this off.

[biggerry]

[leek]

I'll try to come along to this tonight... Only just saw it in time...

[gstark]

A big thank you the Gerry for getting this organised, and to Callan for agreeing to host this in his establishment.

It was good to catch up with everyone who was there, and I think it's fair to say that a great evening was had by all.

The images ... simply stunning. Callan does great work, and the images looked simply spectacular, with a few of them looking more like paintings than photographs. I would encourage everyone in the Sydney region to wander down to Newtown over the next couple of weeks, while these images are on display, and enjoy them. I doubt you'd be disappointed.

[Chica]

I am so looking forward to seeing photos from last night... would have loved to have been there.

[gstark]

I think I saw Philo absconding with Cameron's camera, after taking a few photos, that is.

We left early, but I think most others stayed on, with perhaps several retiring to the Korean BBQ next door. I'd already had my fill of opening-night sushi ... and now I have some radio prep to do.
