We have room for three more members to exhibit one framed piece at Country Roaster Cafe Art Wall at Country Grocer for the month of July.

The current three are:

Ramona Lam

Sign up here.

The meeting of the Eclectic Visions participants will take place at 5:30 PM on May 10 at the Church of Latter Days Saints.  This is the same night as our regular meeting.  Bring your own food and drink and enjoy "dinner" as we talk.  By having the meeting the same night, we are reducing our meeting evenings to one.  We will meet for an hour plus and then take a break between meetings.  The regular meeting will start at 7 PM.  Also by having a 5:30 PM meeting, those who do not drive at night…

Some of our members asked me to let them know when the Scoter flock shows up. They are usually a March arrival - their mian objectiive is the Herring Spawn - and I don't know if that is happening but the Scoters arrived yesterday. I  got one shot this morning with 100  birds in the flock - and there are more.

There has been an unusual  amount of activity in the cove in the past few weeks with large numbers of both kinds of golden eyes, mergansers and a significant number…

Happy Holidays to the entire membersip of the wonderful Salt Spring Island Photography Club.  May everyone have a 2011 full of images that bring joy to your hearts and smiles to the people who view them.

Our first show is up at Country Grocer's Roasting cafe. Tell your friends to check out six of our members' work. Country Grocer will get the Driftwood to do a feature story.

FYI, we may be called upon to act as back-up if Country Grocer has not lined up another group for December. The members signed up for March will be first contacted. The six are: Adrian Selby, Robert Allen, Angela Jackson, Debra Moore, AJ George and Joanne Montrichard.

Rachel and Curt thank…

Country Grocer Cafe exhibit will be up for viewing Saturday morning for the month of November.

See the works by Tom James, Wendy Rosier, Elehna de Sousa, Nirmal Dryden, Trudy Sloan and Avril Kirby.

This morning Adrian started a discussion with a receptive Harbour House about showing club members' photos on their big screen. More discussion to follow. Bravo Adrian !!

Last year our summer show as called Eclectic Visions. At the debriefing of the show, it was decided to maintain the same name for consistancy and other reasons.

Yet, on one blog or another in the last month, there have been suggested two other names for our summer Artspring show. They are: Photo Eclectic and Through the Lens.

Last night the club decided to open the door to any other name suggestions. After an appropriate amount of time (a month or so) we will…

Please forgive the misinformation about the flotilla parade time. In the past the newspaper printed it but they did not this time and I was just trying to recall from past experience. At least my time mentioned was early and anyone there might have seen that they had not started yet, but that they were preparing to. Also - I hope interested parties made it on Saturday - it was a beautiful day for photography there and I got number of nice images and noticed many people with cameras, although…
