The August Photo Club meeting will be presented by club member, Bill Woggon. He is the son of internationally famous comic book cartoonist Bill Woggon, creator of “Katy Keene”. Bill junior worked for his father and was an art major in college. It was in the early sixties that he purchased his first camera, a 35mm Pentax MX, and photography became his pen and brush and the focus of his art. His presentation is entitled “…shooting great pictures without being intimidated by the technical aspects of your camera”.

Members are also encouraged to bring 10 – 15 photographs on a flash drive or CD, for review and discussion following the program, as time permits.

Photography enthusiasts at all levels of ability are invited to attend Club meetings at no charge for the first meeting. If interested, you are invited to join for annual dues of $25 for individuals, $35 for a family membership, and $10 for a student membership.

The July meeting will be presented by club member Joseph T. Sinclair. Joe will be speaking about metal prints, which he first saw at a photo exhibit in Napa, California. The metal prints seemed to make the colors and images really pop. Since then Joe has experimented with a dozen metal prints of his own, visited the photo service where metal prints were invented in California, and has made two non-experimental fine art metal prints that have turned out very well and are hanging in his home. He expects to do all his prints on metal in the future. Members are encouraged to bring 10-15 photographs of recent photo opportunities on a flash drive or CD, for review and discussion, time permitting.

The Quality Resort will be doing remodeling in April which will preclude our use of the room we normally meet in. Therefor,  we have decided to cancel the April Meeting and resume in May. We encourage everyone to take advantage of the of the time off to get out and take beautiful photographs in preparation for future meetings. The May Program will be presented by Michael Rudd and the June Program will be devoted entirely to review and discussion of member photos (plus selection of a Best Photo of the meeting and two runners-up).

Our regular weekly Kaffee Klatsches will continue throughout for those of you in the vicinity of Pagosa Springs. Come on out and keep up with us at these informal get-togethers.
