News from our friend Richard Bernabe

Posted by admin in Opportunity, Updates on March 19th, 2010

I got this from our friend Richard Bernabe and thought I’d pass it along …
Have a great weekend,
Chris

All of my winter trips and photography is over and now I have my sights set on spring once again. I thank you all so much for all of the e-mails during the past few weeks, asking about the Belize trip (it was great) and upcoming workshops, classes and tours.

I forgot to mention the article I wrote in Digital Photo Magazine (it was the February Issue) on “Creative Landscapes.” Those who wrote in to say how much they enjoyed it – THANK YOU.

I just wanted to pass along a few reminders before spring is upon us for real.

Grandfather Mountain Nature Photography Weekend, June 4 – 6, 2010

Just a quick reminder that tickets for this event go on sale at Midnight, April 1. It will probably be sold out by 9:00 am and that’s no exaggeration – so if you plan on attending, call early and often on April 1. For more information, follow this link:

Upcoming Workshops

Many of the Waterfall Workshops this spring and summer are filling up. Make your plans now if you want to attend:

Waterfall Workshops in the Carolinas

There are two spots still available for Charleston in a couple of weeks:

Springtime in Charleston, South Carolina

And a one-day workshop in the Smoky Mountains, hosted by the Nantahala Outdoor Center’s new retail store in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, The Outpost.

A Spring Day in the Smoky Mountains

The weekend Smokies Workshop is sold out, so this is a good alternative.

If none of these events work for you, there are more here:

What a great mtg! — Here are your TERMS

Posted by admin in Meeting details on March 12th, 2010

WOW! I can’t think of any better way to celebrate your b-day/anniversary than with a group of your closest friends, a great presentation (speaker), good eatin’ and fellowship. For those of you that missed last night’s meeting, you missed a good one. A near record — if not new record — of 46 people were in attendance.

I promised and I’m delivering, here is a link to your photography terms (pdf) that I mentioned. Download, print, read and reread ‘em.

Happy shooting!

Chris
