Editor's Note

We had a great group for the Special Workshop and meeting last month. As most of you know by now, our scheduled speakers, Rob Provencher & James Hodgins, ran into difficulties when they attempted to cross the border from Canada into the U.S.. Suzette spent an extremely stressful and frustrating day trying to iron out the problems with the U.S. Border Patrol - to no avail. When it became evident they were not going to get here for the workshop, she pulled some strings and managed to get Claude Jodoin to fill in on short notice. Cox Arboretum was a great facility for this activity, the models were super and the lighting and posing techniques provided some information for everyone. Claude provided a great workshop and everyone learned something about lighting control, measurement and calibrating their meter to their camera. Click Here to see some images from the workshop.

Congratulations to our newest member Peggy Steinberg for her work on display at the Centerville Arts Gallery, Spring Valley Road in the Centerville Police Station. Also she is participating in the Centerville Fine Arts Market at Benham's Grove on July 4th.

Don't forget about the "Show and Tell" table at our monthly meetings and the 8x10 monthly competition.

Be sure to go to Upcoming Events and check out the complete line-up of speakers and meeting dates for
2007.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.
