Presidents Message
International Convention
Thomas Bleich
IAPP President
Austin, Texas, USA
Texas sometimes prides itself on doing
things in a big way. That holds true for
panoramic pictures too. It so happens that
there have been more panoramic photographs
made in and around Texas than just about
anywhere else.
Four years after the invention of photography,
in 1839, panoramic photography emerged.
Shortly after the invention of flexible film in
1887, the mechanics of rotation photography
led to the invention of the Cirkut Camera in
1904. Eugene O. Goldbeck of San Antonio,
an American original and a Charter and Life
IAPP member, started using that ten-inch film
camera around WWI. It remained the backbone
of his business, The National Photo and News
Service, for over sixty years.
His simple idea of selling many prints of
large groups from the same negative made the
business much more profitable. That is just as
true today.
Today his collection of over 40,000 Cirkut
negatives and prints is housed at the Harry
Ransom Humanities Research Center on the
campus of the University of Texas at Austin.
That will be one of our stops for the 16th IAPP
International Convention in Austin.
April is probably the best month in Central
Texas. The weather is mild, the bluebonnets
and other wildflowers are in full bloom and
Barton Springs Pool in Zilker Park is gushing 27
million gallons of water daily at 68 degrees.
We have a full line up of events and
speakers scheduled. But the most important
part of all our conventions is the individual
IAPP member. I've found that each time I
attend a convention I come away recharged
and refreshed with new information and
solutions, ready to tackle new panoramic
challenges. Our exchange of information
between friends in an informal setting has
been one of our strengths since the beginning
of our organization in 1984.
Please bring your panoramic prints along to
exhibit and discuss with other attendees. The
print competition is always an anticipated part
of the program, and the sharing of technical
information and creative ideas is an integral
part of what IAPP is all about.
We will be holding a silent auction on
Sunday evening to benefit IAPP. We are asking
members to bring and donate something: a
picture, a book, photo gear, software etc. that
people can bid on. All proceeds go to the
benefit of IAPP.
So come on down to Texas. Bring your
sidekick, some cameras, a little film if need be,
and some good ideas to share with our fellow
panoramic photographers. And please check
the website, www.panoramicassociation.
org for all the latest information on the
convention.
The IAPP International Convention will be
held from April 15-17, 2007 at the Holiday
Inn-Town Lake in Austin, Texas. Contact
the hotel directly for reservations and make
certain to mention the IAPP Convention.
