Doors Open Waterloo Region 2010 is being held on September 18.

Are you interested in being an 'official volunteer photographer' for Doors Open Waterloo Region 2010?

What is involved?

We would send you a list of the 2010 Doors Open sites well in advance of our September 18 event, so that you could scope out any sites you would like to photograph. Ideally, we'd have a number of photographers, covering a good selection of the sites (for example, one photographer could photograph the Kitchener sites, another one could photograph the Waterloo sites, etc.).

You could pick which sites you would like to 'cover', and let us know.

Especially appreciated are photos of visitors enjoying Doors Open sites!

What part does the Grand River play in the imagination of today’s residents of Kitchener, and how can sense of place translate into artwork? Join photographer Stefan Rose for an evening talk about his creative process, and how conversations with residents and engagement with the landscape can reveal grander artistic insights, using large-format photographs and poems. Rose will describe how temporality, psychogeography, seriality, and beauty coincide in his artwork, in relation to his ongoing project Grand River: Grand Conversations, and in context with the Kitchener-Waterloo Art Gallery’s ongoing series River Grand Chronicles, this year featuring the art of Gwen McGregor. This is the second in a series of public talks by City of Kitchener’s 2010 Artist-In-Residence, Stefan Rose.

Please join us for our first club meeting for the 2010-2011 season.

Time: 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Location: HGCC has applied for space in the schools in Waterloo, and will hear in August if a school location has been approved by the board of education. Stay tuned for details as they become available.

Our first meeting will feature photo essays from members - come out and share your adventures from the summer with us. Please limit your presentation to under 10 minutes.

Until then, have a safe and fun filled summer.

Happy Shooting :)
