Editor's Note

If you missed the September meeting, you missed out on some cool ways to set your images apart from the "soccer mom's" with Painter. Deb Chagares showed how to prepare images in Photoshop and use Painter to create truly artistic masterpieces. Speaking of "soccer mom's" and the issues of increased competition from the prolifiteration of affordable, high quality digital equipment and software, you HAVE to be at the October meeting. Martin Murray will be speaking about "Innovation Strategities for the Professional Photographers". This will be a very exciting and timely program for us all. Go to Meeting Information to get all the details.

The "Little Miami River Watershed" is having a photography contest. Eric Hatch is heavily involved in this organization and he has provided all the information. Click Here and check it out!!

Also, be sure to check out the details and view some images from a GREAT Photo Safari of the American West. Click here to get the details.

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.
