Toronto. When COVID hit, the PHSC resorted to online meetings, finally settling on ZOOM for executive meetings.
At the time, ZOOM did not offer a means to control visitors nor did it offer any statistics. After investigation for programme use, our Programme Director recommended EventBrite as a front end to ZOOM for presentations online.
Both ZOOM and EventBrite continued to evolve their software and business plans. We discovered this past February that we could no longer edit our account in EventBrite to set a specific meeting date. As a workaround, we used our MailChimp list and ZOOM (plus notifying an added select few people). This approach will be repeated for our speaker, Mr Kjeld Duits who is a Dutch journalist and photographer living in Japan. He will speak on Mar 20th about photography in Japan.
Meeting details will be sent to all current addresses on our MailChimp list (WARNING – unsubscribed or cleaned addresses will NOT get any notice by MailChimp). Meantime our Programme Director is investigating the newer ZOOM options, which appear to offer features we once obtained via EventBrite, and simplify hybrid meetings.
The photograph at left is a well known photo taken by M Jaques-Henri Lartigue in 1912 at a race in France. I first saw it in the Time-Life series on Photography. While we can’t promise you will find such epic photos in our coming events, you will see many collectibles and user gear. A post will offer more information as the date approaches.
