Now that we’re almost two weeks from the last photo walk, life again start taking over and interest in the group starts fading. Will it just so happens that one of our walks, Nan, works for Summit Racing and has made us one amazing offer. On June 12 Summit will hold their annual Super Summit event. It is an event that attracts car buffs from all over the country. If this is going to happen we need to hear from you Soon. This may not be for everyone but if you enjoy seeing amazing cars up close, you’ll love this event. Here are the details:
Here is my idea (these notes are directly from Nan):
Super Summit is June 12, 9 AM to 5 PM at the store in Tallmadge. No awards this year, so we expect show cars to come and go all day long. The group can stay all day, or pick a few hours. All customer and show car parking is on site, though it might be smart to have the photo walkers park with Summit Racing staff on the grass or across the street at the designated church.
Summit Racing can provide a 10′ x 10′ tent stocked with bottled water as a muster and rest area for the photo walkers. If you want, you can share info about the group from that tent too — show car owners may be interested.
Summit Racing will post the work with photo credits on its website in a story about the event. We’d also like to pitch a story about the photographers and their work to local media.
The photographers own the photos. Summit Racing owns the attendees’ photo releases. So, we don’t expect to see the work used in any other company’s advertising. If we are interested in using an image for advertising or PR beyond posting it on our site and in the story I mentioned, Summit Racing will negotiate a payment for that use with the photographer. If a car owner wants to buy one of the images, we’ll attempt to connect the owner with the photographer.
Those are the details. Could be fun and could be a way to spread the word about future walks. We want to make this your group; taking ownership of what happens for the group makes it stronger and more diversified. We look forward to hearing from you.
THIS IS AMAZING! Thank you, Nan and Mark. Definitely count me in. Now, is there anything I can do to help?
Marc,
Count me in for the Summit Photowalk
I passed this along to a group of photogs in Northern Summit County which I am a member of, THE PHOTO NERDS, the website is http://thephotonerds.com/
We only have a handfull of members. There may be someone interested. I am also checking my calendar and family commitments.
Very cool idea! Love shooting cars. I’m in.
Sounds like a great opportunity.
Jeff,
Does that mean that we can count you in?
Marc, count me in on this one also. I usually do attend with a camera, this will be better yet. Thanks!
Bruce, Great to have you join us. Should be different for both of us since we’ve had experiences with the event in the past.
Would love to figure out a way to have a banner made for the tent but really no money int he budget for that!
