The Melbourne Silver Mine is pleased to announce our first group portraiture event

SHOOT A MINER

The event that asks our members to get together and shoot each other!

Portraits of and by our members will be gathered together and presented in a gala evening of portraiture on Thursday 6th May 2010 at Horse Bazaar.

A blurb book, and a permanent web based presentation of work will also be prepared.

All Melbourne Silver Mine Members are invited to participate.

For more information head on over to the Shoot a Miner website.

The easiest way to start submitting images is to do so via the Shoot a Miner flickr group

Various prizes are to be awarded. For example we are pleased to have the people of Light Leaks Press sponsoring the SAM 2010 Low-Fi prize for portraits taken with a low end “toy” camera. (more info in the flickr group)

Other prizes will be awarded based on skill, enthusiasm, or random acts of analogue love.

So take this opportunity to get together with your fellow miners and work towards capturing some memorable portraits.

If you are yet to become a member of the MSM, don’t worry, you can join today and take part in this event.
