@PearceDunlap is helping with Dischord, other with the Wiki, FB, etc.
I would be interested.
@StanSimmons I just tried to send from my yahoo account and not a google account, got this message. Not sure what the issue is.
LLELA is great! I snapped this photo with an old canon rebel about a year ago when I was last out there

Also, as @Nagyk and @Photomancer got a bounced back when I send emails from a non-GMail account (email sent from my GMail account worked fine). Same canned response from the Google group support:
We’re writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (Photography) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren’t able to post:
- You might have spelled or formatted the group name incorrectly.
- The owner of the group may have removed this group.
- You may need to join the group before receiving permission to post.
- This group may not be open to posting.

Hi folks, sorry I didn’t see this sooner. I don’t visit the DMS forum often. The photography group at DMS has been dormant for quite a while. We used to be pretty active and had a lot of film photographers as well as digital. If the DMS blog or wiki still exist you can find stuff there about what the group got up to. We operated a darkroom at the first two DMS locations. The current location was a lot less convenient for some of us and things kind of fizzled after the move. We’re all still active doing photography just not at DMS. I’d be happy to see the photography group revived. If I can be of any help let me know. Drop me an email or contact me on IG, FB, or Flickr.
Update: ha, just checked and the old blog and wiki articles are still there but, ironically, all the photos and videos have been removed from them. Looks like whoever maintains the blog/wiki removed the YouTube and Flickr extensions so all the media content vanished. Here’s a link to the Dallas Makerspace Flickr group where most of our members posted DMS-related stuff:

Hi Steve,
I did find y’all old group page but, like you said, it looked ‘inactive’. I just put a call out there to see if there was any interest, and our very first VERY informal meeting had 20 people in the room!!
More experienced members are helping jump starting the group again since most of us are newish to DMS. There is a domain name being setup, a Wiki, and a couple of other things. I think a DMS Facebook Photography Group page is important for the group members to organize/communicate/share photos and that’s also being looked at. The next meeting will be on Tue 20th at 7:30. I hope to meet you then.

Thank you very much for doing this.
I’m in Flower Mound and would be willing to host an evening event (after 6pm typically or on a Sunday) for this group in the future.
I have a wide 44" format printer, along with a PC running Photoshop CS6 with lightroom and a meager 4k monitor.
This is housed inside my custom framing store / art gallery on Justin Road
For those that are members of this photography SIG at DMS - I would be open to making this a semi regular event if there is interest.
I’ve had a handful of DMS members up here framing their photos & memorabilia with a few lessons on how to program one of the two computerized mat cutters, how to cut glass, wood, etc and put everything together.

You are truly generous to your fellow Makers - in many areas besides this area.
Thank you

Thanks David!
I do try to lend a hand when I can.
P.S. For the record - I am NOT a photographer. I am a very happy “point and shoot” camera digital camera owner.

Hey Tom,
Thank you. You may not remember but you helped me frame a photo in your store about a year or so ago. I am sure there will be interest, in fact that has already been expressed at our informal first meet. I’ll keep you posted.

I wasn’t sure if you were the same ‘David’ !
Weds evenings I am usually at the store well past the posted closing time of 6pm. That is typically a night when a local ‘maker’ comes by to knock out his vintage memorabilia for his collection.
