Have Camera, Will Show



The annual Matjies slideshow is calling for participants. It’s been a solid favorite of the festival from year one, and this year promises to be no disappointment. Sometime on the Saturday in question the coffee shop’s windows will be blacked out, people will gather, and a friendly PhotoHire projector will spew forth some of the finest images this side of Ouagoudougou.

Sam Reinders is going to make it all run smoothly…and for this to happen she needs you to get her your images ASAP.

Here’s the deal. Listen up.
* Bring disk of images (up to 10ish) to 403 Buxton Heights in Tamboerskloof. Its on Firdale Road – which is off Kloof, just past the 711.
* Buzz me on number 403 and I’ll come down and fetch them. Maybe you can even come up for coffee. I have good coffee.
* If I’m not here there is drop box at the door. Drop away. Make sure my name is on it though.
* Don’t make the images too small – otherwise they look crappy in the show. Maybe 150dpi? Jpegs would be rad.
* There is NO theme. Photo’s of anything. Anyone. Any place. Be creative. Use your creative juices.
* You don’t have to be an award winning, Leica-around-the-neck-wearing photographer to participate. Anyone can show photo’s. The more the merrier and all that.

Here is the deal breaker. I leave town on 10 September for a little pre-Matjies Karoo sojourn.
SO it is REALLY IMPORTANT you get Sam your photo’s before this. There is a chance you can e-mail her one or two after this…but you all know that downloading photo’s in the Karoo is as slow as a tortoise stuck in molasses…. So if you want to be sure your photo’s make it in….get them to Sam before she heads north.

Over and out.
Call Sam on 078 121 3098 if you have any questions. Or e-mail her on samreinders@gmail.com
