[pic]Photography Guidelines and Permission Form for Community Chamber Orchestra’s 2008 and 2009
“Agriculture and the Arts” Project
You may submit photos at any time, but they need to be sent as digital images through the Internet. If you use 35mm film, when it is developed you should request a CD. Please e-mail only your selected photographs from the CD or digital camera card to Jim Beck at:
usbank@ (as attachments to an e-mail).
Please include on the e-mail: Your name (for our credits)
Address & phone
Photo title (Optional)
Farming theme (see back of this page)
For the Spring 2008 concert, the deadline for photography submissions is April 1; and the same for the Spring 2009 concert. However, please send photography all throughout the year, and only a small amount at the deadline. We want to see all seasons of the year!
You retain all ownership rights to all of your submitted photos, but by signing and returning the below permission form, you grant permission to Community Chamber Orchestra to use them in the concerts and to print and frame them to be placed on display in Clay County area businesses and public places.
All the photos need to be taken with film and camera settings that produce very clear, vivid images and colors. This is because when we project them on the movie screen at the Rex Theater, there is a loss of color and a darkening/dimming effect.
To participate in the project as a volunteer photographer, please sign the photo release form and mail or e-mail it to:
Dr. Anne Clark, 454 23rd Rd., Morganville, KS 67468-9117
If you have questions, you may call 785-925-4725 or e-mail bclark@
(You can request this form by e-mail as well.)
With the submission of my photograph(s) for possible inclusion in the
“Agriculture and the Arts” project, I understand that I will retain ownership.
I hereby grant to the Community Chamber Orchestra and its agents the
permanent right to use copies of all my submitted photographs for educational, artistic, archival, promotional and presentational uses without
limitation. Agreed to and accepted by

Keep a camera with you at all times possible, so you can capture those amazing moments which cannot be posed. However, we also want you to send us posed photos which you think will appeal to the general public (perhaps something like at our farm: the raccoon and farm cats feeding out of the same food pans in the shed!)
The mission of this project is to document, celebrate, and provide artistic ways to appreciate the Clay County small family farm heritage (through two multi-media concerts and a permanent community exhibit of photography). The photos will provide a glimpse for future generations and those not familiar with Clay County into what farming for small family farms was like in 2007-2009 in our part of Kansas.
Take pictures so that they unmistakably show a connection to small family farming in Clay County. For instance, a sky shot should include farm buildings, animals, machinery, stacked bales, etc., not just pictures of the clouds by themselves.
Take some pictures which are beautiful (such as on calendars), also pictures that are significant and typical of farm lifestyle, such as damage from weather and constant struggles endured. Portraits are also fine, as long as they are clearly farm-related. Old photographs taken before this project started are also welcome. If they have been copyrighted somewhere else, you need to obtain permission for us to use them, and send them in digital form.
Here are sample themes we will use in our two concerts. Try to select one that is a “best fit” for your photos when you submit them by e-mail, or suggest a theme of your own.
