JMPC in Joen Yö !

On Friday, 30.8, JMPC will be presenting its activity and inviting people to join during Joen Yö. We will also try to answer to visitors queries and talk with you and your feedback. The idea is to make JMPC visible to other people and invite them to join if they are interested. Jarno Artika will also be promoting his new photobook "Joensuu virtaa uusin ilmein -kaupunkikirja" during the event.

We would like to exhibit photos from our past exhibition in this one event. So we request all photographers who have had their photo exhibit in our exhibition in past to bring them to yourself to our next meeting. If you cannot come, you can also hand it with someone or ask me to make arrangement to get the photos from you. We will then setup those photo in our stall in Joen Yö. It would be nice to have photos from each exhibition that we had in past.

Location: Surakanpiha talo, the old yellow wooden house in Taitokorttelin pihapiiri, Suvantokatu 2/Rantakatu 11-13
Date and time: Friday 30.8,  16 - 21
Joen Yö: http://www.joenyo.fi/tapahtumat.html#.Ug4CGmT08Vk
Come and say hi to us if you are there. See you there !

UPDATE: Joen yö was busiest exhibition for JMPC so far. There were estimated visitors around 600 people. The historical atmosphere of the Surakan talo suit perfectly for the exhibition; Joensuu town was established in 1848 and the house was built after 2 years Joensuu was established.

"Joensuu Photo Walk 2013" : World Photography Day

August 19th is a World Photography Day. We are going to do a photo walk together to celebrate the day for a reason we all in this group are connected to, i.e. Photography.

Usually, there is no theme in photo walk. Everyone comes their camera, phones, etc and shoot whatever comes during the walk, everyone walking same path takes different types of photo based on their interest. Being with other photographers helps one to see things in ways others hadn’t noticed before. At the end of the walk, we will gather at the Coffee house and share our photographing experience.

Come and meet others to see how they see the same street with different eyes. And the idea is not to be lazy and kick ourself to walk in the evening with our camera and have some chat with fellow photographers. If you don't know or haven't done photo-walk before, check the link below:
