format

The first part of this meeting will be a “check in”. Each participant will “Check in”, this is not required, but this will be a brief (5 minutes or less) description of the participant's week and/or what they have been working on. There will be no commentary about other's “check in” during this time. This “Check in” does not require the presentation of images but up to 4 images may be submitted before 5 pm EST to kari@kariherer.com to be presented at this time. 

The second part will be reserved for a designated speaker. This speaker will be chosen in advance by the facilitator. It’s the speaker's choice to either show work or speak about their experience as a photographer. This is a casual discussion, and speakers will be donating their time. 

The third part will be open. This means that the group can discuss or ask questions to the speaker or to the other participants.
