Calendar of Events 

•Program: Colby McLemore will present “How to Look at and Critique Images”  

Photographers often talk about everything possible except the images themselves. They have long and involved discussions on gear all the time. Can you imagine painters talking more about their brushes than the artwork they create? The conversation hopefully evolves to technique, which is very important as well. Unfortunately, you can have the best equipment and use the exceptional techniques to create the most uninspired and boring images possible, while children who use cell phones every day and don’t even know how to hold the thing create works of art.

•There will be a competition as well for all paid members.  The theme will be "Street Scenes"  If you are entering the photo contest, you will need to send Allan a 1MB or smaller jpg of your photo by 4pm on Sunday September 13.
