SCCC
September 2000 Sioux Scope
NOTICE - Meeting is at 7:30 on Thursday, September 7, Morningside Reformed
Church, 5601 Sunnybrook Drive.
WELCOME TO A GREAT NEW YEAR OF CAMERA CLUB
It's time to say wecome back for another year of camera club. I hope
everyone has had a good and photographically fruitful summer and is looking
forward to another stimulating winter season of programs, judging, and
fellowship. PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FIRST MEETING DATE! This change to our
usual schedule was necessary because of our upcoming N4C convention.
For those who have not yet registered for the convention, time is growing
short. Get those registration forms filled out and sent in. Work on the
convention is progressing nicely. All the volunteers have been working hard
to make this a top notch gathering, and one we all should look forward to
attending.
We must say a big THANK YOU again to Larry and Marcia Crabb for hosting the
summer potluck and convention meeting at their house. As always the
hospitality was warm and generous, the day was beautiful, the food
delicious, and the company and conversation with friends enjoyable.
Tom Atkinson, Sioux Scope Editor
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
The meeting will be on Thursday the 7th at 7:30 PM. The program that night
will be done by everyone. The name of the program is Home Made Gadgets for
photography. Anybody who has a gadget that they want to share with the club should
bring it along and show it off that night.
N4C entries in all categories need to be turned in by September 5th. You
can bring them to the last convention meeting that night. -- Steven

ARCHIVING DIGITAL - SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
The Gold-Based CO.
Archiving photos in the new digital age is not so simple. It's generally
known that magnetic media is not stable for long periods, whether you use
the new memory sticks or cards, zip disks, or your computer's hard drive.
But not all CDs are equally stable, either. Dye-based CDs are considered
reliable for three to five years, according to Tom Beecher, image capture
specialist for Kodak. Dyes eventually fade, and any digital photos you've
stored on such CDs will become irretrievable. Gold-based CDs, on which
digital information is burned with a laser, are considered "image
permanent." Of course, with the rate of change of all things computer
related, there may be no devices to read even
gold-based CDs in a few years. Remember the Syquest disks, the
graphicsindustry standard, just a few years ago?
