Dear members,

For our presentations at the VR Photography Live@Photokina, a day-long conference on VR photography, the current state of the art and where it may be heading, we need your feedback and input about the subjects to be treated and names of people you think are suitable to do the presentations or maybe you see yourself as a presenter. You can publish your suggestion or send me an email privately at jan.van-der-woning@ivrpa.org

Please tell us what you would like to hear/see best at the conference to fill your needs.

As some of you already might have seen on the different panoramic mailing lists, we were informed this morning that our member and friend Milko Amorth passed away.
Milko was one of the pioneers of VR - back in the beginning when all started. He was also a member of IVRPA as well, we met back at Photokina 2004 and at our IVRPA conference 2007 in Berkeley.

We will miss him.

Matthias Taugwalder
President of IVRPA

Dear Members,

I am pleased to announce that once again we have been granted a free display space at Photokina, the world’s largest fair for photography and imaging. This is an opportunity for us to educate the public about VR photography and to promote our work. It is also an ideal time for European members of the panoramic photography community to meet each other and catch up on progress in our field.

Thanks to everyone who submitted panoramic images for the exhibition. Everybody loved it and this was one of the highlights of the conference.

The new Official IVRPA Mailing List is hosted at Google Groups, sign up now at:

Tucson 2010 - The International Panoramic Photography conference just started.

I will try to keep you all updated as much as possible trough the following networks:

The IVRPA account on Twitter: http://twitter.com/ivrpa

And the IVRPA page on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/ivrpa

I will do my best to keep you all updated.

The Tucson 2010 Panoramic Photography Exhibition image submission period is over.

We would like to send a big thank you to each and everyone of you who submitted images for this event.
It turns out that we received more images than we can display, the response has been fantastic and we hope to be able to put up a great show.

In the next couple of days we will be selecting and organizing the material we have.
We will contact the photographers directly in case we need something specific from each participant.

See you in Tucson from April 14-18

Tomorrow is the image submission deadline for the Tucson 2010 Panoramic Photography Exhibition.

To accommodate for different timezones around the world all submissions received until 2pm UTC next Monday March 29 will be considered.
After that we will begin sorting and organizing the exhibition and the deadline can't be extended beyond that point in time.

Some photographers asked if they could submit digital files instead of prints and the answer is YES, we made arrangements to print those files and ship them to Tucson in time for the exhibition.
