I am glad that Jean enjoyed my article about how to take more interesting
photos of lace events. My involvement with the Brooklyn Lace Guild has
brought into sharp relief how much better those people who have come of age
post internet are able to communicate on social media. Their skill in
posing eye catching photos is very impressive and seemingly second nature.
Our social media maven Julie, calls this "visual literacy". I am the
facebook editor for the facebook page of the International Organization of
Lace and I can tell from the number of likes and views that an interesting
photo results in people reading the post, whereas a post with no photo
isn't read at all. Sometimes I receive messages to convey via the facebook
page without photos and I try to find a photo to go along with the post,
but sometimes I really can't.
Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Lace Guild's facebook page which has more artistic
photography is attracting a far greater audience from all over the world
with readers regularly lamenting that they don't live in Brooklyn, so they
can't learn lace. (We always try to steer them to their local lace group.)
With lacemakers always looking to the past for inspiration, I noticed that
the photos of the early 20th century were very professionally posed, and
tried to analyze this in the Bulletin article. It might be fun to try these
photographic posing techniques at the convention!
