Join us on May 8, 2008 at 7 p.m. in the community meeting room of Sumter Mall.

We have a great meeting planned this month. Photographer and photography instructor Bill Jordan of Chapin, SC will be talking about landscape photography. He will also share with us about his business which includes photography & Photoshop classes, workshops and tours.

A little blurb about the artist…
Having been a landscape photographer working in 35mm since the mid-sixties, I switched wholly to digital in 1999. Presently, I teach courses in Beginning, Intermediate, & Advanced Digital Photography and in Photoshop for Photographers at a number of the surrounding colleges and universities here in South Carolina.

We had a great meeting this month. We had a total of 27 attendees. During the meeting we spilt into two small groups led by Jason Hart and Chris Moore. Various topics were covered, advanced and beginning topics. Members and guests were encouraged to mingle between the two groups as well. Following an hour of discussion we broke for refreshments, to rearrange the chairs and to vote on the two photo contests. Chris shared information about upcoming events as well as keeping several of our members in our thoughts & prayers. We also tried something new with the contests, two of our members shared critiques of the images on display. We received a lot of positive feedback following the meeting.
