Welcome to March!! My favorite thing about March is that April cannot be far behind! The buds on the trees are more prominent and the last time I was at Cheekwood, the tulips were popping out of the ground. Surely more consistent warmth will be upon us soon!!
This month is our roundtable and image critique. During this time we are going to introduce ourselves and talk about our interests in photography. Our group is diverse, and we have new members which means that we need to get to know each other a bit better.
Also if you are interested in entering our district (SEPPA) image competition, this is the best time to receive feedback on your images. I encourage you to bring 4-6 images on a thumb drive. David Wright and Al Gordon will be our “officials,” however we will welcome questions and comments from everyone. This is a great time to learn about the process of entering image competition if you have not. Those of us that have entered will be bringing images that are (hopefully) digitally matted and ready for presentation. I have some ready and others that are still in development. Bring what you have and let’s discuss your thoughts on your images and the best way to improve them that might result in a higher score and a merit. I’ll have the 12 elements of image competition printed for you so that you can see what the PPA jurors look for. Don’t be shy!!!.....we are here to help you. We all had to begin somewhere and it can be a bit overwhelming. I know when I see others’ images, I become inspired. We have an extremely talented group. I cannot wait to see some of your work!
We have a workshop planned for April. Our speaker has kindly agreed to spend an extra day in our area and our secretary, Misty Westebbe, has offered us her outdoor studio in Franklin. This will be a outdoor headshots hands-on workshop with models. Save the date of April 10 from 4-7. The non-member investment is $29. Our member discount is $20. We will provide light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages. Please let all of your friends know. We will provide a document that you can send out soon.
