Next Meeting - Thursday 12/11/08

We will be having one meeting in December, this coming Thursday 12/11/08. We will be having a photo critique with the subject "weather." Please only bring 2 images for the critique and then a third image which you consider your best of the year. This image will not be critiqued but each person can explain the image and why they like it.

We will also have elections for officers and refreshments so be sure to attend. You may email your three images to Steve Ridges at the_ridges@hotmail.com. Please make sure Steve knows which are to be critiqued and which is your best image.

Hope to see you there!
