Need AAW symposium attendees who can write and take photos

[Steve Worcester]

As many of you know I run a woodturning oriented commercial website. Every year I try to give updates from the symposium showing the vendor floor, the ever expanding instant gallery, the demos, etc.

I need multiple "cub reporters" who can assist in taking photos and writing some short reviews, etc of the demos ,the shows, stuff around town, gossip, new products, etc. This is a low if no compensation position and is not affiliated in any way with the symposium or the AAW. You will get bylines, and a (deep) discount on my products (Oh, and the envy and accolades of your friends and web viewers from around the globe!)

It is more of a way for the multitudes of people who cannot attend the ability to see what is happening, and very close to when it happens.

If you are interested, and have a digital camera you know how to use, please email steve@turningwood.com

Ahhh, but can you do that at the same time? With or without gum?

Steve,

I will not be able to attend this year. But I am still waiting for my photo credits on your site from last year.

Have fun Buddy, wish I could be there.

Looking forward to the reports from this year.

Best wishes,
Dave

Steve,
I'll be there with my digital camera. Will try to get some pics to you again this year.

Dave,
Don't you know that editors do not give photo credit...just ask Carl Voss!

How to download images to you?

Steve:

I will be at the Symposium with my Nikon D70s, and I'm particularly excited about the guys I'm Demo Assisting for: Clewes, Bosch, and Firmager! I plan on taking lots of photos everywhere, since I'm going to give a photo review of the 2007 symposium to our turners group later this year.

I did not plan on bringing anything to download them to (I won't have my laptop this time.) - I usually just use the port in my printer to download from the compact flash card. Will you have a CF card reader with you? If you don't have a reader, I'll try to find the camera to PC cable to bring with me.

What hotel are you staying at? [I'll be at the Jupiter]

OH CRAP! You're right. I just noticed that (now that you mention it). At least this year I think there is wireless available in the convention center this year.

No Problem Steve,

You do all of us who are unable to attend a great service. Whenever I can't make the Symposium, I check your site about every hour.

Thanks for all you do here on the forum, and at the big show.

Best wishes,
Dave

Steve, I would be glad to help if I was able to make it. Since I can't make it this time due to my broken femur but have plenty of time on my hands I am looking forward to the photos. Next year I will be in Richmond so you can probably count on me then.

You can catch me selling on the vendors floor. I will have a port replicator and my laptop. I SWEAR I will give photo credits this time! (Note to self.....)

(That's gotta hurt) Any special requests?

 

[Steve Worcester]

Well gang, looks like I am going from rainy Dallas to rainy Portland. I didn't even get any pieces ready to show, the glass wasn't co-operating. (Portland is a glass mecca for those who would like exposure to other mediums though)

You can catch the updates on my website, here in the walkabout and most likely Andy Wolfes blog and some others (I will post those when I get ahold of them).

 

[Steve Worcester]

OK, I (sorta lied) did have one piece that I will unveil here first.

It is titled "Junk Mail. A hollow form from shredded junk mail, CDs and credit cards, mixed with a liquid plastic and pressure mold then turned. After turning it is sanded (Abralon) and then polished with 3M body compounds. Fun stuff. Don't have to worry about grain direction or tear out, but there are bubbles, even from pressure casting.
