    Eric Archer Sound Image Studio and BundlePix, LLC

    Eric Archer gave a tour of his new portrait studio. The studio is intended to be furnished and fully open for business as of August 1, 2012. The studio is just yards south of the ferry dock in Edmonds with a remarkable view. Eric’s business will provide portraits for families and businesses. This adds to the BundlePix brand that serves local school athletic teams. In addition to team and individual shots, Eric’s company shoots at least one event for every team, providing actions shots sold to family members of the athletes. As an added bonus to schools, student publications are provided the photos as needed at no additional charge. Eric said that he was willing, in coming years, to help student organizations sell their images as fund raisers for the schools.

     

    Discussion of Programs & Request for input from Community Members:

    Teachers discussed the current state of their programs with an emphasis on the growing challenges of keeping programs going with the needed student populations. Noted were the loss of students to remedial programs, to additional elective offerings from other departments, and from increased admission requirements for many colleges and universities.

     

    Community members made inquiries for additional information. Suggestions included looking in to certification programs offered by software companies like Adobe. Other suggestions focused on making sure that students continued to have access to resources that would provide students with a strong foundation of fundamental skills to enable them to continue their studies and to be successful in the professional world. Community members gave their perspective on lighting equipment and software they felt were important for students to have access to.
