Relief!

... in that I am no longer President of the Tennesse Valley Professional Photographers. I will still be a member, and continue to be a member of the Professional Photographers of Mississippi/Alabama and of course the national Professional Photographers of America. The TVPPA has been important to me in the friendships I have made with other photographers, sharing good ideas and problems, and having people ready to help whenever there was a problem. I have learned a lot over the more than fifteen years I have been a member.

Professional Seminar and Awards

Back from PPMA (Professional Photographers of Mississippi/Alabama). Lucky for me, it was held in my very own backyard as it were; Lake Guntersville State Park Lodge. What a load of information I must now process! It was good to see long-standing friends, and make new friends.

Competition of prints consisting of multi-image composites, or mini-albums, or folios occurs at the Fall Seminar every year. This time I entered three; this is the first time I have ever entered a print competition other than an art exhibit. Two of the prints placed:
First Place in the Event Category
Distinguished in the Individual Category.

I only picked up the prints to enter at the last minute; no lengthy/painstaking extra finessing for competition; just my regular work!
