Editor's Notes

I certainly hope you all had the opportunity to attend the PPO Convention March 5-9. There were an exceptionally fine group of speakers, great print exhibit headlined by a large display of work by Jay Stock. And yes, Jay was there - broken ankle and all - to speak with attendees and sign his books. A SPECIAL congratulations to Peggy Steinberg who not only entered a Merit Print, but was awarded a Scholarship for a week at Triangle School of Photography. She promptly took advantage of the opportunity and spent the week of March 16-20 studying with Hanson Fong!! Hope you took good notes, Peggy.

Our April Meeting will feature Steve and Julie Busch presenting the program "Small Town Seniors - Big Time Results". If you ever saw them present before,you know how great they are! You do not want to miss their program. Go to the Meeting Information Page to get all the details.

Be sure to go to Upcoming Events and check out the complete line-up of speakers and meeting dates for 2009.There is another great slate of speakers and workshops planned.

CHECK OUT EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS!!!! Many may not be aware of PPSO's extensive library of educational materials which are available to check out as a benefit of membership. Go to the new PPSO Library Page and "check out" (pun intended) the tapes, CD's and DVD's available.
You may check them out at the regular monthly meeting and return them at the next meeting. Keep checking back as new materials are added several times a year.                                                                  
The "Members Page" has been updated to provide the opportunity for you to include an image with your studio name. This is where the public goes when they click on the "Find a Photographer" link from our Home Page. Also, you may now place four of your images in a "mini-gallery" linked to your studio name.This feature has been added for several studios. Go check them out. If you wish to add your image(s) to your listing, size your images to no larger than 4x5 at 72 dpi .jpg's and attach them to an e-mail to me. Be sure to identify which image you wish placed on the listing page.
