Did our June meeting rock or what?  I would like to thank Arica Dorff for a great evening full of tips, tricks, marketing ideas and motivation.  While she talked about Pet Photography, it was clear that many of her tips can be applied to whatever type of photography you are doing.  And a special thank you to our models and the wonderful dogs as well, as it made for a great evening.  And I hear a few of you members got some great, fun images as well.

Just a reminder that our July 27th meeting is our next DPC competition.  So start prepping your images, and again, please make sure you review the rules.  It is extremely important that you place your images into the correct categories, as if they are placed incorrectly, they are subject to dis-qualification. So please, just take a few moments and review the DPC rules.

Also, we have two, great studio workshops coming up.  On Sunday, July 13th, Marcy Dugan is doing her Portrait Business Studio workshop, and then on Sunday, August 3rd, George DeLoache offers his Studio Portrait workshop.  Note that only a few spaces remain in each, so if you are interested, please contact Sharon Lobel ASAP, as you will not want to miss these great offerings. 

Please remember to check out our FaceBook page, as we will use that as a way of announcing special safaris, software offers and news from the photography world.  And speaking of software, we have a couple of discounts to offer our members.  If you are interested in the Photomatix HDR software, you can use the discount code PPLACHDR25 at checkout, and save 25% off their products.  Also if you are interested in some of the new Mac software from MacPhun, use the code MEL2014 at checkout for a 10% off their new products Intensify Pro, Snapheal Pro and FX Photo Studio Pro.  These are some of the same people responsible for the great products from Nik Software prior to being sold to Google.
