Our regularly scheduled meeting will not be held at tRG studio on this night. We will gather for our meeting in downtown Tampa in Curtis Hixon Park (600 N Ashley Dr, Tampa, FL 33602) at the tables adjacent to the fountains on Ashley Street. Parking is available on the streets, in several street level parking lots nearby and in the William F. Poe Parking Garage. Please arrive in time to find parking and walk to the meeting location before 7:00 pm. Meeting starts promptly at 7:00 pm. After announcements we will begin the proceedings for our urban photo scavenger hunt event.
Boundaries and Rules:
Western boundary is the Hillsborough River
Southern boundary is Kennedy Blvd
Eastern boundary is Florida Ave
Northern boundary is Cass St.
Every photo to be scored must be of an object that lies anywhere in the boundaries from within the far curb of any actual boundary street or within the river. Nothing on the far side of any boundary street including anything on the far sidewalk counts. Nothing from the western bank of the river and beyond counts. Everyone will receive a printed copy of the primary list of items to search for prior to the start of the event. Everyone will take a photo of Jim Sykes in front of the fountains at the official start of the event. Only photos taken after that and during the time limit will count. Scoring is on the honor system but anyone may challenge you to show any photo as proof. Jim Sykes will be the sole judge of whether an image counts in the event of a questionable image. Bribes will be gladly accepted but will not alter any decisions. Technical quality of images is not a factor for scoring however the subject of the photo that is being scored must be prominent and clearly identifiable. You will have one hour and 15 minutes from the time the photo of Jim is taken to return to the starting point with your photos for scoring. Anyone that returns late enough to require us to restart the scoring process will incur a penalty deduction of 10 points.
The intention of this event is to have fun and increase your visual concentration. Many items on the primary list are commonplace in an urban environment but some of the items are specific one-of-a-kind items and will require extra diligence and visual acuity to locate and are therefore worth more points. In addition to the main list there is a mystery list. The mystery list for this event is themed. The theme of the mystery list will be revealed just prior to the start of the event. Specific items on the mystery list will not be revealed prior to the scoring process and many items on that list have high point values.
How can I change my reservation for photo camp? I can only attend Saturday and not stay overnight as originally planned. Thanks, Karen
