December '09 And January '10 Meetings

The January 2010 meeting is coming up this Monday on January 4th at 730 PM. Please come on down and bring a friend or two.

As for the December meeting, here are some "highlights" and things to ponder....

• If you happen upon a website or photography book that is a good learning tool and would be helpful to the group for us all to pick up some tips, add it to the blog or just let me know about it via email so I can notify everyone. Some sites to check out include DIYNetwork.com and YouTube.com.
  
  
• We discussed potential ideas for photo shoots and topics for upcoming meetings. Topics included shooting in Black and White and shooting figures in motion. Some photo shoot ideas discussed at the December meeting included Liberty Park in NYC, the ferry to/from NYC and the many sights at Sandy Hook. If you have any thoughts on what topics you would like us to discuss at a meeting or places for photo shoots, let me know.

• Regarding making prints for photos, there are some websites online like Fingerprint.com and MPix.com that can be quite useful. Staples and Kinkos are also good stores to go to for photo prints. If you know of any additional sites or stores place a comment on the blog or email me so I can "spread the word".
  

• The photo show was discussed and is being run by Keith and Ben. Submissions for the show are on January 3rd between the hours of 1-4 pm. All submitted works must be ready for hanging and be a minimum size of 16x20. An additional meeting for the photo show was set for December 17th at 730 pm. Note, contact Ben DeMarco (brickphoto_2000@yahoo.com) or Keith Mills (info@njphotography.com) regarding lending a hand with the photo show.
