Photographers Needed!
Census Day “Portrait of Smithville”
Thursday April 1, 2010

April 1, 2010 is an historic day in the United States. It is national “Census Day” to encourage everyone to participate in the Census tocreate a Portrait of America. (See http://2010.census.gov/2010census/ for more information about the 2010 Census.)

In Smithville, we are inviting photographers to help us create a “Portrait of Smithville” very literally. We are looking for photographers to help us take pictures of many of the people in Smithville onApril 1.
Roaming photographers around town capturing every-day life
Arranged photographs at places like the hospital and the Towers Nursing Home
Poised photos at the Rec Center, where we will also have many Census activities.
These photos would become part of our legacy for the future.
Working with the Heritage Society, the Lost Pines Artisans’ Alliance, and the City, we will create a web presence and a photo collage to document this day in history.
Release forms will be available at City Hall and at theRecreation Center on Thursday after 8:30AM. Please be sure you ask everyone to sign one before you take their photo (or at least before you submit their photo to our website).
Please also register with your email address, phone number,and other contact information so that we may contact you when we have more details on how to submit your images and the use of the images. You may do that by emailing Jill Strube at the address below, or signing in when you pick up release forms.
Copyrights on images will ultimately belong to the photographer, but the City and the Heritage Society must be given permission to use the images as they see fit.
Thank you for your participation in this important event in our City’s History!
Please contact me if you have any questions, Jill Strube
