BASIC PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS (and other educational opportunities)
My next introduction to photography class is now scheduled for October. It will be a series of 5 two hour lessons spanning 4 weeks including 4 classroom sessions and one field trip. Space is limited so register now if you're interested.

AMATEUR PHOTO CONTEST (deadline approaching)
Just a reminder that our first amateur photo contest will be done accepting submissions at the end of the month. We have received some good entries so far and just wanted to thank everyone that has submitted photos. At the end of the month, we will choose a few of the top images and post them on our blog and let people vote on which image is best. We will leave the voting up for two weeks. There is still time to submit images for anyone interested.
Again, the category is water and to find out what/how to submit a photo, you can read more on our blog post:
