Venue Needed for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Training
Leila Jones, area coordinator for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep (NILMDTS), is looking for someone willing to donate the use of a venue in Los Angeles County to hold a one-day NILMDTS training session. She needs space for at least 25 people with room for a projector and screen (she will provide the projector and screen), and a PA system would be a plus but not mandatory. Examples of good venues are photographer's studios, churches, hotel meeting rooms, etc. If you can provide a venue, or know of someone who can, please contact Leila directly at leila@leilajones.com
NILMDTS - www.NILMDTS.org - is a non-profit network of volunteer professional photographers who provide a helping hand and a healing heart to families who suffer the loss of a baby at birth or soon after. Volunteer photographers provide gentle, compassionate photographic services that allow families to honor and cherish their babies and to share the spirit of their lives.

IMAGE COMPETITION
"DIGICOM"
JULY 23rd
Reminder:
July's competition will be an all digital image competition.
Free Digital Image Critique
Send files to Jim Selkin. He and other Judges will critique your images to help you get higher scores.
jzs529@earthlink.com
Due to the number of images submitted, PLEASE ARRIVE EARLY. Judging will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m., print registration begins at 7pm.
DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS should follow same size guidelines as prints: finished canvas 16x20; image not less than 11x14. Suggested at least 300 dpi.
Category winners will have to submit a 16x20 final print to be awarded the merit in October as well as for consideration as Photographer of the Year. Adjustments based on judges "suggestions" can then be applied for final printing. For those who do not merit and or want to increase their ultimate print score, adjustments will be a lot easier.
Files should be on thumb drive or DVD and can be in .psd; .tif or if you want .jpg format. They should be labeled with picture title, category and last name. Use underscores.
example: Bridge_to_Nowhere_landscape_Selkin.tif
Same $5.00 fee structure applies per entry
A special thank you to Paul DuPont of Greenleaf Associates for provided the color calibrated projector for this months digicom.

AUGUST 27TH
GENERAL MEETING
Did
you ever look at a great image and know that it could not have possibly
been shot that way in the camera but you just could not figure out what
the artist did?
Do you ever find yourself looking at one of your "raw" images on the
computer and wondering where to begin? How to get from capture to
completion - and do it without using up a year of your life?!
PPA Master Photographer Patricia Mathis was trained as a traditional
artist before becoming an award-winning photographer. In this
inspirational seminar, Patricia will teach you to "see" the completed
image in your mind's
eye before you even start and how training your eye to "see" in this
way can set you apart from the competition. Once you have trained your
eye, you can also train your clients to "see" the same way so they can
appreciate the skill it takes to create truly extraordinary images.

PATRICIA MATHIS WORKSHOP
From Ordinary to Extraorinary
Monday, September 14th, 2009
10:00AM-5:00PM
Understanding and applying the elements and
principles of Design
Did you ever look at a great image and know that it could not have
possibly been shot that way in the camera but you just could not figure
out what the artist did?
Do you ever find yourself looking at one of your "raw" images on the
computer and wondering where to begin? How to get from capture to
completion - and do it without using up a year of your life?!
PPA Master Photographer Patricia Mathis was trained as a traditional
artist before becoming an award-winning photographer. In this
inspirational seminar, Patricia will teach you to "see" the completed
image in your mind's
eye before you even start and how training your eye to "see" in this
way can set you apart from the competition. Once you have trained your
eye, you can
also train your clients to "see" the same way so they can appreciate the skill it takes to create truly extraordinary images.
Using interactive lectures and discussions, Patricia's workshop will
walk you through the basic elements and principles of design as she
examines artwork from many well-known artists. You will learn to "see"
what those
artists saw and better understand the process of creation to improve the artistic value of your final images.
Patricia will show you how to transform a great capture into a work of
fine art by demonstrating post-production techniques in Photoshop and
NiK Software. The intent of this workshop is not to teach "Photoshop
tips and
tricks", but you will learn some very effective and efficient tips when
retouching images. We will not be photographing in class so no need to
bring your camera but feel free to bring your computer and Patricia
will provide a "control" set of images that the class can work on as a
group.
Space is limited. Register today!

Tarzana, CA 91356
