At last night's club meeting, many of us were curious about David Ellingsen's camera, settings, etc.

It reminding me of this article: https://digital-photography-school.com/why-your-camera-gear-doesnt-matter/

Sorry this is late  buy everyone in our club is hereby invited to my wife's(Jan Sharkey Thomas") art exhibit at Gallery 8 from August 31 to Sept., 8, 2018.

My wife is very ill and Gallery 8 asked if they could do a a "one man/woman show on her 88th birthday (Aug. 28th).

Wishing all the members of our club a happy and sensuous Valentines Day!  Most of you know me but for everyone - I have always cherished the moments we spend together - the activities we accomplish and the wonderful images we produce. It is a day of admiration and , although I have been tardy as of late (never at our online site) I admire and value all the work we display and envy the outstanding talent produced by our group.

Saluting you with a glass of champagne and a wreath…

As most of you may know, PM Trudeau and family were in Revelstoke, BC for New Year holidays.  Here is the local press' efforts at being paparazzi.  Gave me a good chuckle and I wish you the same.
