WWIG Meeting February 2nd

The next meeting of the Western Wisconsin Imaging Group will be on February 2nd. As usual the meeting will begin at 6:30pm and will be at our home at N2207 Pammel Pass W. in Bridal Coulee.

I will be posting the meeting program as I did previously so stay tuned to this blog!

The Topic of the Month is The Gazebo at Pettibone Park. Both Roger Grant and John Zoerb have expressed enthusiasm about their images and both said that they were eager to see how each person brings to their photo an individual interpretation of this often photographed La Crosse icon.

So what's with the art work that leads off this post? Well, it's a teaser about the next Topic of the Month which I think will be quite challenging but interesting both in terms of making the images and seeing what our colleagues come up with. the actual Topic, along with some examples that I have gathered from the Internet, will be presented at the meeting.

Remember the new innovation which was begun at our last meeting: Ask The Expert. Members are encouraged to ask questions about anything that is related to Photography, Art, of Life. The only unusual twist is that the questions should be submitted in advance-- by e-mail to me or posted on this blog-- so that the "Experts" will have an opportunity to consider their responses to the queries. And who will the experts be? Well, anyone who feels that they can give a relevant and, hopefully, informed answer.

Susann Annis, the Pastry Chef Formerly Known as The Queen of Cheesecake, has returned and will be providing refreshments for our social hour.

Finally, here is my monthly plea to members. Please help make this particular meeting and the future of our group successful by supporting what is perhaps our fundamental activity. Our goal is to learn from each other; the sharing of images is essential to this end. Please do bring prints, if you have them, or submit digital images. Remember that we are only going to accept digital images submitted by e-mail. I will review how to do so in a post in a day or so, but the already simple process is going to be further simplified.
