Vision Committee debates town scrims, favors black-and-white review
Summary
Members debated the theme and format for new West Stockbridge scrims, with a proposal to use black‑and‑white photos and a suggested 5:6 old-to-new image mix; a motion to require all black‑and‑white images was seconded but not voted on.
The Vision Committee met to consider designs for new town scrims and the photographic theme for West Stockbridge. Frank Landsberger described the original proposal to celebrate local personalities, and John Orloff urged a clearer message for what the town should represent, recommending a mix of historical and contemporary images converted to black and white. The meeting was called to order at 8:03 a.m. and adjourned at 9:04 a.m.
Committee members discussed the ratio and processing approach for images. John suggested a ratio of five historical photos to six contemporary photos to balance heritage and current town life; Andy Krouss recommended mixing old photos with current features for comprehensive town representation. Thom Lipiczky moved to adopt all black‑and‑white photos for the scrims; the motion was seconded by Karen Carmean and John Orloff, but the motion never came to a vote, leaving the formal decision pending review of converted samples. The group agreed John will convert cropped digital images to black and white and a small vetting committee (proposed: Joe Roy Jr., John, Thom and Frank) will review them.
