Hello!

I had to force myself away from the DFA Judging Live-stream to write this email! Every round I get absolutely nothing done the day that it streams. It’s split into two days this time, so if you miss it today you can watch the second part tomorrow. Link to watch: https://documentaryfamilyawards.com/live

For the critique next Monday (I can’t believe there’s another one so soon) we’d like you to send a link to your song along with your photo. Just upload your photo as usual, and you can send me a link to the song. What I’ll do is make a playlist of songs in the order of the photos, and send everyone a list of the links ahead of time. Zoom tends to garble audio when you play an online video during a zoom meeting, so which each new photos comes up Kirsten will be muting her audio along with everyone else, and we’ll all take a minute to listen to each song on our own computers at the same time. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense. Hopefully everyone’s song can be found in a youtube video or somewhere on the internet. If not let me know and we’ll work something out.

Also, please send me any timing requests for the critique by the end of the week. I’ll send out another email later in the week as a reminder.

Our first May Roundtable is this Friday at 9am. For our second Roundtable at the end of the month, I think we’re going to need to start an hour earlier at 2pm MDT. I’ll confirm this next week.

I know there’s been a lot of sharing of quarantine portraits, but I found some of these particularly beautiful - https://www.insider.com/pandemic-portraits-quarantine-photography-shoots-2020-5
