Creating IN THE ZONE
John Grant: There was another meeting at the
Biltmore, where the idea for the photo show was
presented and a call for photos was put out.
Peter Gluck: I remember being at the Unreel
Locations' space at the former Seeley's furniture store
when we began looking at photos for the In The Zone
(ITZ) show.
Bob Craft: We spread the photos out on the floor at
first—these were prints, it was pre-digital. I remember
Lori sorting through all the pictures. It was very cool and
exciting. We really wanted to do this!
Beth Tate: We eventually stuck the photos up on the
wall organized by category—Americana, Sci-Fi, Around
the World in the 30-Mile Zone, A Day in the Life. There
were about 50 people there and we voted on hundreds of
photos that day. The top 100 were to be sent to the jurors
who would be selecting the final images for the show.
Pamella D'Pella: I remember thinking, 'I hope this
floor is clean enough!' I went 'urban' so that the least
represented communities could be represented. I pulled
my images from that community. My barbershop picture
got put up on the wall and later made it into the show—
and the newspaper!
Stevie Nelson: Loving photography, I got very
excited about the idea of location professionals being
showcased as artists in their own right. I went out and
started specifically shooting for images to submit for the
ITZ show, along with pulling from my files. I submitted
eight to ten images and ended up with
two in the show.
