Hi, folks and Happy New Year!

Here is your reminder of our next meeting, Tuesday January 10 at 7:00PM at the Bass Lake clubhouse.

Please bring some show and tell photos; you can choose from two themes: "Wheels" and "Faces".

Also, if you so choose, we will open the floor to comments and suggestions on how to improve
your photos. We'll have a separate set of pictures for this segment; if you choose to just to
show-and-tell, you do not have to have critiques. We thought we would try this out as a way of
learning more about creating good photos, learning how to judge and be judged for photo contests,
and hearing other's perspectives. Again, this is optional; we'll see how it goes and if we get
benefit from it.

The activity this month will be a "What's in your bag" - bring your camera bag and equipment
and share what you like, how you use it, what you can't live without, and what does not work for you.

We also will discuss the Bass Lake Photo Contest. If you know of
local businesses which would like to be sponsors or who can supply prizes (gift cards
or merchandise), we need to start contacting/soliciting from them. I'll draft a official letter from the club
that we can distribute at the meeting.

See you Tuesday!

BLPC President

Hi, folks.

As I briefly mentioned at January's meeting, we co-host the Bass Lake Photo Contest with the town of Holly Springs each year.
The town will produce the brochure/flyer - and they will list major sponsors on that flyer and on their web page.

This is where you come it: we need to identify a few sponsors!

If you know of a photo-related (or other) business which would like to be a sponsor, please contact them on
behalf of the club. Sponsors should provide some sort of support for the contest, such as donating prizes or services.
For example, NC TriColor Imaging provided free final prints (for display) for the winners last year.

Please help out if you can -- bring any ideas or contacts to the next meeting.

Thanks,
David Biesack
President
Bass Lake Photo Club
