TIME Magazine: on the future of digital and film photography

Some things to consider about film and digital...
 http://time.com/4003527/future-of-photography/

"...something has changed so radically that we need to talk about it differently, think of it differently and use it differently." Stephen Mayes

"...Fujifilm, Kodak, Ilford Photo and Lomography all witnessed a film revival that was unexpected considering the earlier sharp decline. The reason seems clear: “If there is a resurgence,” Jonckheer at Kodak notes, “it’s really driven by the younger photographers,” and almost every company echoes this claim."

The SPE regional conference is seeking presentation proposals for the November 6 – 8, 2015 conference in Greenville, SC. The southeast region welcomes proposals from photographers, writers, educators, curators, historians and professionals from any field.

SPESE 2015 Collaboration: Plays Well With Others will be hosted by The Fine Arts Center of Greenville SC. The conference will highlight artists whose work is developed in the spirit of collaboration. Hybrid media and practices, and creative intersections will be explored through lectures, panels, and workshops featuring regional and national artists, academics, and collectors.

It is preferred that presentation proposals should speak to the theme of collaboration.  Proposed presentations can be for image-making, lectures, short workshops, and demonstrations.  We also welcome regional graduate program presentations and student presentations.  Presentations are limited to a maximum of 1 hour and workshops to 2 hours.  Please remember that the conference will be in downtown Greenville and workshops and demos will not have the advantages of being held in studio classrooms.

·      name of  presenter or lead presenter for a group
