Maker Faire Seeks Photo Enthusiasts

The next Maker Faire will be on May 19 and 20, 2007 at the San Mateo Fairgrounds in Northern California, USA. Organized by the staff of Make and Craft magazines, Maker Faire is a newfangled fair that brings together science, art, craft and engineering in a fun, energized, and exciting public forum. The aim is to inspire people of all ages to roll up their sleeves and become makers. Among the many areas of interested featured at the event, digital photography is one that we're all keenly interested in.

If you have a cool DIY photography-related project that you'd like to show off at Maker Faire, please submit a proposal via the Call for Makers. Topics such as homemade photo studios, creative printing techniques, unusual display, and fun selling ideas are just a few of the categories that would be perfect for Maker Faire.

The deadline for proposals is Feb. 27, so don't dally if you have a great idea. And even if you decide you don't want to display at the Faire, you still gotta come by for a look at what everyone else is doing. It's a great adventure for all members of the family.
