These photographs are what are used in the official Road DVD, on the web site, and for blog posts.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Set up for the photographing takes place the Sunday before Road. It includes hooking up computers, a backdrop, rods to hang the quilts, and all the camera equipment. And just like the judging, photographing all quilt entries takes two days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Photographing of the quilts is overseen by members of the Reese family. Carolyn\u2019s son David and his wife Susan have been involved with this aspect of the show for the past 14 years. This year, they were assisted by David\u2019s daughter, Erika, who was operating the camera.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-to-california\/making-the-road-to-california-2014-dvd\/attachment\/2014-01-21-10-46-47\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1663\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1663\" alt=\"2014-01-21 10.46.47\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-01-21-10.46.47-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"717\" height=\"538\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Again, as with the judging, quilts are photographed by category. White-gloved volunteers hang two quilts at a time from a particular category on rods against a dark backdrop.<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-to-california\/making-the-road-to-california-2014-dvd\/attachment\/2014-01-21-10-46-38\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1662\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1662\" alt=\"2014-01-21 10.46.38\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-01-21-10.46.38-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"717\" height=\"538\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">After Erika took the pictures, they were sent to the computers where David and Susan reviewed every photograph, making sure each quilt was shown in the best possible way.\u00a0 They also verified the quilt\u2019s name and entry number as well as background information that was submitted with the entry. This documentation, along with the photo, is what goes on the DVD\u2019s.\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/road-to-california\/making-the-road-to-california-2014-dvd\/attachment\/2014-01-21-10-46-23\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1660\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1660\" alt=\"2014-01-21 10.46.23\" src=\"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014-01-21-10.46.23-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"717\" height=\"538\" \/><\/a>David says the biggest challenge is, \u201cPhotographing quilts with cut-outs and embellishments. They are more difficult to capture the dimensions on film.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Once all the pictures are taken and the awards have been given, David works furiously to make sure the DVD is ready for distribution by the first day of the show. The cost of the annual DVD is $12.99. After the show, they are available on the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.road2ca.com\/RoadFabric.html\"> web site<\/a>. Currently, DVD\u2019s are available to purchase from 2004 to 2014. The earlier DVD\u2019s only have pictures of the award winning quilts on them and cost just $10.00. Recent DVD\u2019s are more detailed.\u00a0 They are a great keepsake of the show, whether or not you attended.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>What do you like best about this year\u2019s DVD?<\/p>\n\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1660,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,22,27,32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1659","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-behind-the-scenes","category-blog","category-road-2014","category-road-to-california"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/2014-01-21-10.46.23.jpg","jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1659","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1659"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1659\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1660"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1659"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1659"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/road2ca.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1659"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
