THE INDIANA PHOTOGRAPHERS
About Seventy-Five Exhibits-WorIS
by GasIiGht.

The fifth annual convention Of the Indiana
Association of Photographers opened yes
terday at Tomlinson Hall. The exhibits of
members of the association are many, num-
bering about seventy-ive. There are also
quite a number of exhibits by photographers
from outside Indiana.
The morning was taken up in arranging
pictures on large screens placed in the hall.
In the afternoon, Mayor Taggart, in a short
address, gave welcome TO the visitors, and
response by Z. r. Barrows followed. The
reports of several officers of the association
followed, after which Prof. Otto Walter
Beck, of the Cincinnati Art Academy, gave
a very entertaining and instructive talk on
Composition Laws Pertaining TO Photo
graphic Portraiture." During his remarks,
Professor Beck took occasion to very high
ly compliment the association and its men,
bers on the work of each.
The evening was taken up with demon
STATIONS by F. Schanz. of Fort Wayne.
and considerable interest was taken in this
work by those present. Sittings were had,
negatives made and developed, and proofs
taken by gaslight, showing how the advance
in science had made 1t possible for the pho
tographer to do his work without the aid of
sunlight, which was, for many years, sup
DOSGu ~ ~ dDSO1ultll HcCGSSdLl III plOlO-
graphic work.
This morning the convention will open in
business session, receiving reports OF COM
mittees, and appointing new ones, after
which Professor Beck will again appear be-
fore the association, criticising the work
and explaining and suggesting points of i'm
proVement. In the afternoon there Will be q
short business meeting, followed by a talk
on art by W. II. Potter. OF Indianapolis,
taking the place of George Smith, of Gin
cinnati, who is not able TO attend. MemberS
of the association are quite enthusiastic over
its work, and their interest is evidenced by
the number and character of the questions
asked, and also by the fact that they take
time and trouble to explain different fea-
lures of their work to other members and
TO visitors. w. O. Nicely, of Bloomington
secretary Of the association, says that this
is the most successful meeting in its history,
and that the membership is rapidly increas-
ing, as photographers are learning that IL is
TO their advantage to become connected
with the association, as 1t is a clearing
house for new ideas in their business.
