The flu bug struck us again in May when our scheduled speaker had to cancel because a bout with the flu left him "speechless" - literally, he could not talk because laryngitis had set in. Thanks to some quick phone calls by your board and the graciousness of Jim Chagares, he stepped up to the plate to pinch hit and we had a GREAT meeting with all in attendance learning a great deal about the new release of Photoshop CS2. In fact, there was so much interest with discussion and questions, that Jim only got through one of his several pages of notes!!

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
