You may remember that we had to cancel the February meeting due to the weather issues that we are still dealing with. And so I'm still excited to tell you that our guest speaker will be Colby McLemore. He has agreed to come in March and we appreciate his flexibility He has spoken to us before and I know you will enjoy him. I have asked him to speak to us about purchasing equipment, what to look for and how to evaluate what is available.
In his own words, here is what he plans to discuss with us: "I’ve purchased a lot of photography equipment over time, and I’ve helped countless people do the same. Come join the conversation where we will be discussing various pieces of photographic equipment, including cameras, flashes, tripods, filters, and much more. We’ll be discussing their merits, their pitfalls, when in your photographic life it would be appropriate to purchase them, and the scams associated with them. This presentation is designed to be a bit looser than usual to allow participants to ask direct questions and to allow the group to use their accumulated knowledge to help answer others’ questions. It should be an evening of fun and entertainment that might just save you hundreds (or possibly thousands) of dollars!
Join us for dinner beforehand at Los Amigos, 409 N Cusick St., Maryville. I will be ordering my meal at 5:30 pm because I have to make sure I’m on time,
but feel free to come whenever you are able.
Please RSVP to colby@colbysphotography.com so that I know how many seats to reserve. I will add a few extra seats, so even if you decide to come at the last minute, please do so. Bring your camera to the meeting. It will be nice to see what each of us uses to take our photos.
Be prepared to choose photo contests topics for the rest of the year at our March meeting.
