Editor's Note

August was our first meeting at one possible new location - Bullwinkles in Miamisburg - and the feedback so far has been very good. Nice location, good food, good ambiance, etc. There are, however, some space issues. So for the September meeting, we are trying the other Bullwinkles location in "Middletown". (It is not really in Middletown, but right at I-75 at Exit #32 -only 6 miles from the old Chantrell's location.)

The September meeting will feature Shawn Wright "Stop Trying to be Perfect and be Remarkable" This will REALLY be a good one!! Don't miss it!

AND DON'T FORGET THE NEW LOCATION THIS MONTH -
BULLWINKLE'S IN MIDDLETOWN - MAP HERE

Don't forget the Monthly 8x10 Print Competition. Enter one print per meeting (cost $1 per print) and earn points toward the "Photographer of the Year" Award !!
First Place = 3 points; Second Place = 2 points and Third Place = 1 point. These will be accumulated during the year and added to points received for entries in the Annual Print Competition in November to determine the PPSO Photographer of the Year.

We are also revamping the procedure for judging the monthly 8x10 print competition to make it more fair and more useful for everyone. CLICK HERE to read about all the changes.

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.
