Um... is there a time?
I would say 5-6pm, this gives peole who are travelling time to get home afterwwards etc.. this also gives the option for nibbles and drinks followed by dinner or just have an early dinner before turning up. thoughts? I'm looking forward to coming along.
awesome..I am also looking forward to it..

Hi Guys, I'm Callan, owner of Zimprints gallery and the one that will be busily printing, coating, stretching and hanging your awesome shots this week. I just wanted to thank everyone that has submitted a shot; Reiterate that it is not too late to enter; Offer all DSLUsers 20% off canvas prints ordered in March; Advise those that enter the exhibition may get different shots printed at the same size & price in March. Looking forward to having you guys here on Friday night. Cheers, Callan. info@zimprints.com.auhttp://www.zimprints.com.auAny questions - 0402 10 66 10

Sale price for prints - as the prints are roughly the same size, I recommend keeping the price the same. I don't believe that it will be difficult to come to a consensus on the night that will probably fall between $250 - $350.
Cheers, Callan.

I can run with that, this is inline with a few comments that came with images... Offer all DSLUsers 20% off canvas prints ordered in March; Advise those that enter the exhibition may get different shots printed at the same size & price in March.

A big thanks to Gerry and Callan for all the work that is going into this exhibition. I am not really in a position to turn up on opening night but I will peruse the the web to see if I can get a cheap flight to Sydney. You never know.

Great to hear people are coming along for the opening night! can we get everyone who is planning on turnign up for the night to post here so I can get an idea of how many people will be there - I am organising drinks and food and would liek some idea of the numbers!. Also we are going to make a poster to hang out the front to get a some advertising, does anyone have any objections? More importantly is anyone NOT going to have their image for sale and have objections to having a thumbnail on this poster?? I have done a real quick poster design - note i am crap at this so if anyone can do better feel free to knock something up!

A big thank you the Gerry for getting this organised, and to Callan for agreeing to host this in his establishment.
It was good to catch up with everyone who was there, and I think it's fair to say that a great evening was had by all.
The images ... simply stunning. Callan does great work, and the images looked simply spectacular, with a few of them looking more like paintings than photographs. I would encourage everyone in the Sydney region to wander down to Newtown over the next couple of weeks, while these images are on display, and enjoy them. I doubt you'd be disappointed.

I think I saw Philo absconding with Cameron's camera, after taking a few photos, that is.
We left early, but I think most others stayed on, with perhaps several retiring to the Korean BBQ next door. I'd already had my fill of opening-night sushi ... and now I have some radio prep to do.
