Message from the President
As IAPP begins its 37th year as an
organization, it is amazing to see all the
technological changes that photography has
gone through in that time. From chemical
based analogue film to electronic digital
sensor cameras for professional as well as for
amateur use. Cameras are miniaturized and
are built into pocket sized phones that have
the ability to stream out images while they are
being captured.
Panoramic and specialty large format
photography equipment has undergone
that same revolution. From heavy No. 10
Cirkut cameras to digital rotational scanning
cameras. 7x17 inch banquet cameras have
evolved into 50 to 100-megapixel sensors
now shrunk to the size of a medium format
camera. High ISO cameras that can literally
see in the dark with high sharpness and little
to no noise. Software that can take hundreds
of overlapping images transmitted from Mars
and process them out to a large gigapixel print
that could cover the side of a building while
still showing amazing details.
The people who attended that first conference
probably never imagined all the technological
changes and advancements over those 36
years. And yet, IAPP remains a thriving
organization that keeps in mind the need to
preserve panoramic history and pass on the
old processes, equipment and photographs so
they are not forgotten.
Also, our ability to work together as a group,
to look forward and move with changes in
technology as well as new market trends. The
members of this organization strive to learn
and share new techniques that will drive our
businesses into the future. Exploring the
frontiers of virtual imaging and gigapixel
photography and how they can be used in
education, virtual touring, product marketing,
digital archiving and for detailed analysis
work.
It is an appropriate time that we have
chosen to have our upcoming conference
in Rochester NY, a city that contains a rich
history in the advancement of photography.
From the curators and archivists at the George
Eastman Museum to the up and coming
image makers and scientists at The Rochester
Institute of Technology who are exploring
the new boundaries of imaging for the 21st
century.
During this time of Covid-19 we are all
facing challenges. The Officers and Board of
Directors decided to postpone the conference
set for Fall 2020 and tentatively reschedule
for Spring 2021. We are working diligently
with our resources in Rochester to be able to
plan for a safe conference for all our members.
We will be assessing with them when we can
make this happen. I ask for your patience and
understanding during this time. We will be
making update announcements on the IAPP
website and Facebook page as we go.
It has been a great privilege to be this
organization’s president and I hope to see
many of you at our next conference.
Sincerely,
David Recty
President, IAPP
