Dear Wayne,

    Part of your discussion on Orchid about slides vs. digital was
    forwarded to me. 

    While we could discuss the merits and demerits of both slides and
    digital. I wanted you to know that there will be a definitive
    opportunity to find out more about this issue. The Professional
    Development Seminar before the SNAG Conference will host Marthe Le
    Van from Lark books. This will be Wednesday, March 5, 2007. The
    entire afternoon covering several topics with multiple speakers is
    only $10.00 

    Marthe's topic will cover: 

    Marthe Le Van (www.larkbooks.com) will then tackle the "Digital
    Divide," helping us understand the qualities and relative merits of
    film vs. digital photography from her unique perspective as an editor
    for Lark Books. From the book publisher's point of view, both digital
    images and film images have distinct pros and cons. Many of these may
    be new to metalsmiths submitting photographs. Knowing the differences
    helps artists make the image format decision that is right for them.
    Projected photos will be used to illustrate the following discussion
    topics: 

    --  Behind the scenes -- what happens to your images from the moment
    they arrive? 
    --  What publishers are looking for when selecting images for
    inclusion in a book or for a cover? 
    --  Image vetting. 
    --  Digital post-production -- an art form in itself. 
    --  Environmental impact of film vs. digital photographs.

    As far as the Professional Guidelines go. I think that I should
    update the documents to make them more slides/digital neutral. The
    transition between slides to digital was coming, but only more
    recently has digital had the upper hand. Interestingly,. Lark Books
    still prefers slides or transparencies. 

    The paramount criteria is still fabulous photography! The mastery of
    a superior quality image is still a huge problem in digital and film. 


    If you would like to highlight a point in the Professional
    Guidelines that you disagree with, just let me know.
