Greetings!
Wow! It's already spring and I'm very excited about our first print competition of the year. Don't miss this opportunity to have your images judged and critiqued by highly accomplished master and professional photographers!
Print Competition provides an unparalleled learning opportunity that has helped me personally improve both the technical and artistic aspects of my work, ultimately resulting in better images and higher value for my clients. In the end, isn't that why we belong to this wonderful organization called PPLAC?
We all seek to improve the quality of our work and I know of no better tool to help us accomplish that than the very personalized learning you receive through Print Competition.

Wedding
photographer extraordinaire Yogi Patel dazzled us at the February
meeting with his stunning work, an in-house lighting class, and
numerous business tips. Photo award winning Yogi, a self-professed
education buff, urged us to take advantage of the photography workshops
that PPA, PPC, PPLAC and West Coast School have to offer. He also
stressed the importance of creating a unique niche for your photography
business. Thanks to Yogi and his wife, Prem, for an incredibly
entertaining and educational evening.
