Can you show character in a photograph? I hope so because that is our first illustration for Oct. Character. Your second choice is: Animals. Now I know everyone can find an animal to photograph, but let's get creative here. Assignment #3 is: Power. Power is all around us. Power machines, power people, powerful surf, and lets not forget power plants. All three of these are very loose and you can illustrate the concepts in any way that pleases you. Have fun, be creative. So there you have it, three brand new choices: Character, animals, and power. Feel free to choose just one, or if your are ambitious, try all three. Remember that these are only suggestions, and you do not have to do the assignments. You may share any photographs that you like, but do keep them in good taste.

Please bring no more than six (6) images to share. You may present your photographs as digital files (Cd's, thumbdrives, or memory cards), or as finished prints. Prints should be at least eight by ten inches, and larger is always better. If you do bring prints, be sure to let me know at the beginning of the meeting, so I won't forget to allow time for you to share.

For our next monthly assignments, you might be looking for: Exterior Walls, A Bugs Life, or Frame in a Frame. If you have any other ideas, please feel free to email or call me.

I am always looking for guest presentations for the group. If you, or someone you know, would like to do a short 15-30 minute presentation that the group would find interesting, let me know. (Please!)
