What our members say
Why I like the Societies: I think it's a great place for photographers to share ideas and to pick up new techniques. - Daniel T

Photo Quote: I dream that someday the step between my mind and my finger will no longer be needed. And that simply by blinking my eyes, I shall make pictures. Then, I think, I shall really have become a photographer. - Alfred Eisenstaedt

Convention testimonials I personally consider the convention is a "must do" event, within your calendar, no matter what level of ability you posses. The learning capabilities will astound you - Dave
