Most of you remember Tom who moved late last year to Gabriola.  You will note that his show is in our events calendar.  In my opinion, his work was some of the best in Eclectic Visions each year.  His current work uses nature in both abstracts and humor.  I am posting these as a taste for your enjoyment.  Several members are considering a group trip to Gabriola.  Tom's show. Lunch at a great pizzeria. A photo shoot outing.  If you are interested, just post a comment that says: YES.  Week day…

You not have ever of Anja Niedringhaus, but she was a veteran Associated Press photographer killed by an Afghan policeman today.  Here is the article and a few of her photos.…

Excellent article, perhaps more than what you need to know, but still, excellent.

The SSI Chamber is in the process of purchasing four DVDs (in USB form) from the Club.  They are purchasing one for each season.

It is their intent to go through the images to see if they want any of them for their Visitor's Guide.  They print 50,000 copies of the guide for wide distribution.   Since each club member owns their own images and since the DVD images are not in proper resolution for printing, the Chamber of Commerce (Janet Clouston, manager) will contact you with…

In today's internet world, there are many different photo editing programs.  Photoshop has become the common name for all of them.  How do they differ?  What are their strengths? weaknesses?  Some cost more; some are free?  Some have more bells and whistles and some are bare bones.

While photo editing program do you use?  

Would you enjoy presenting your program to club members at a regular meeting?

Based on conversations at coffee and locales, we thought…

There were over 30 members attending the January meeting, with several new faces in the crowd (none of whose names I got. Welcome anyway!)

Chris Dixon ably chaired the meeting in his new post as Vice President, in Curt's absence.

Because of a special request from the Artist Guild whose ehxibit is hanging now at the GVM Deli, we are moving our initial hanging date from January 2 to January 3. I will notify Bob Rogers also.

January is the first month of our 2014 Deli schedule. The schedule will be posted soon, I think but we DO need candidates to hang their images. Please let me know as soon as possible - they have requested that we provide the names of the photograper(s) that are hanging each time in advance of the event so I would need to have time to get that information and get it to them.
