Welcome to the pren
issue of the Internat onal
Association of Panoramic Photographer’s
monthly newsletter
What is the e-Monitor?
The e-monitor’s description is de-
fined in the last box of the last page of
each and every issue, and here it is:
The monitor on the rear of a
digital camera is a device we use
to quickly examine information
about our photos. The IAPP e-
Monitor was designed to give
our membership a quick look at
what is going on with the IAPP
and with panoramic photogra-
phy in general. It was originated
to give our membership quicker
information while they await the
release of the PANORAMA.
What it is Not!
The e-Monitor is not a substitute for
the PANORAMA-The Journal of the
IAPP. The Journal originally was de-
signed as a printed magazine issued
quarterly to the IAPP membership. For
a variety of reasons the Journal has had
difficulty meeting that type of deadline,
not the least of which is the high cost of
layout, publication, and distribution.
The cost of a single issue of the PANO-
RAMA is between $3,500 and $5,000,
to have it laid out, printed, and mailed
to the membership. Multiply that by 4
and you can understand how much
money it takes to send out the quarterly
publication. Lately, to stay in the black,
the decision was made to distribute the
Journal in an electronic form and limit
the number of issues per year. We
hope to return to a printed publication
next year if all of our moneysaving
plans pay off.
How do the PANORAMA and the
e-Monitor differ?
The PANORAMA is laid out as a SO-
40 page Journal that includes informa-
tion on the major conference of the
IAPP, any workshops or mini-
conferences that have been or will be
held, highlights of members, Photo
Contest winners, listings and biogra-
phies of the IAPP Officers and Board
members, and a variety of material that
has be gathered over the course of
several months. This has always been
the device that has been used to inform
the membership, in detail, about the
events that are coming and those that
have passed. These issues have be-
come collector’s items and many of the
IAPP members have full collections
which show the evolution of the IAPP
and dramatically shows its history.
The e-Monitor is not as extensive
and all-encompassing as the PANO-
RAMA. Instead its advantage is that it
can take information and distribute it to
the membership in a quick and informa-
tive fashion and can do that in a peri-
odic manner. The e-Monitor is planned
to be a monthly mini-magazine with
several immediate benefits over it’s
bigger brother.
The e-Monitor is assembled, edited,
and electronically published by the
Secretary of the IAPP. Since that per-
son is a volunteer, the cost of the layout
is FREE! The "e" in e-Monitor means
“electronic.” It will be distributed ONLY
electronically to the membership — it
will NOT be printed (although there is
nothing to prevent the membership
from downloading and printing it, in
fact, it is laid out for you to do just that).
This means that “printing” costs are
FREE! Since the majority of IAPP
members do have email they will be
notified as to when and where to down-
load the issue and, hence, the distribu-
tion will be FREE! As you can see,
there is a pattern here. The e-Monitor’s
total cost will be FREEEEEE! Well, al-
most! To fill the monthly publication we
do need articles and photos from the
membership and we will ask for those
every month. We currently have suffi-
cient material from the IAPP Officers
and Board members to fill up several
issues but, if it gets to the point where
very few members are sending in mate-
rial then the e-Monitor will shrink in
size. The e-Monitor has no particular
number of pages to fill each month so it
can be as many pages or as few pages
as we have material to include.
This is an experiment to enhance the
panoramic community’s desire for more
panoramic “stuff." Please help us make
it worthwhile.
The first issue of the e-Monitor be-
gins on the next page. Enjoy, and give
us your comments.
