If you missed the April meeting, you missed a real opportunity to learn of many ways to improve your business by Marketing What is Real and Creating Healthy Habits. Angela Talentino made a superb presentation, and there was an excellent turn-out to learn from her.

Our speaker at the May Meeting (May 1) will be Gregg Wurtzler. Gregg will demonstrate to us how to raise the quality of your images to a level clients can't resist through experience in print competitions. Also, be sure to go to Upcoming Events and check out the complete line-up of speakers and meeting dates for 2006.

NEW FEATURE IN THIS ISSUE!!!! 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.

"Tips & Techniques". Check out this page!! And send me your favorite Tips & Techniques to share with others. Do you experience focusing problems when you move "off center" to achieve focus, then re-compose to create the image? Check out the December TIP on why this occurs.

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.
