(Photo by Randy Shellenbarger.)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The Van Wert Area Photography Club held its regularly scheduled meeting on Thursday, March 10.\u00a0 Secretary Rex Dolby reported that the IRS had sent a letter informing us that because of the way our mission statement was written, we were not eligible for 501(c)(3) status, and if we did not amend it promptly, we would risk having to resubmit the entire application. Dolby had done the research and copied an amendment\u00a0statement from an IRS publication for discussion.\u00a0 After considering only few suggestions, the amendment was passed as presented by a unanimous vote.\u00a0\u00a0 The amendment was also sent to the Ohio Secretary of State to amend our Articles of Incorporation. Once that is achieved, we can then apply for the Ohio 501(c)(3) status.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Randy Shellenbarger showed pictures he\u00a0had taken on the club&#8217;s recent photo trip\u00a0to the Wright-Patterson AFB\u00a0Museum near Dayton.\u00a0 Randy had a wide variety of\u00a0pictures that really\u00a0showed\u00a0\u00a0the displays well.<\/p>\n<p>President Stuart Jewett\u00a0reminded the group that the reason the club had a place to meet was the agreement that we would take the Civic Theatre&#8217;s publicity and competition pictures.\u00a0The problem is the lack of having a uniform way to do the job\u00a0because of\u00a0individual lighting set-ups and equipment.\u00a0 He proposed that we inventory the club&#8217;s lighting and backdrops to decide what was usable, repairable, or needed to be pitched.\u00a0\u00a0Items in the latter category would then be researched for\u00a0replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Once we are using consistent\u00a0lighting and backgrounds, we would create\u00a0a handbook providing the position, angle and power settings of the lights to the subject; the\u00a0position of the subject to the backdrop, lights\u00a0and camera; the position, angle, and power of the highlight; information about the framework to hold the backdrop, and\u00a0where it is to be\u00a0placed.\u00a0\u00a0Such a\u00a0handbook would assure that future results would match previous work.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the photo trip to\u00a0the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Museum\u00a0in Auburn, Ind., Stuart said that it is an amazing museum of some of the most beautiful automobiles ever produced.\u00a0\u00a0 Both he and\u00a0Randy Shellenbarger have albums of photos\u00a0from the museum\u00a0on\u00a0their Facebook page.
