Message From The President - Sandi Croan - Northern Virginia Photographic Society

It was wonderful seeing everyone back from summer vacation and welcoming so many new folks.

Gayle Dennis, our Membership coordinator launched our new Member Welcoming Program with the assistance of Emi Wallace and a host of volunteer welcomers. The program was launched to help new and prospective members get acclimated to NVPS.

The finishing touches were put on the Member Resource Program which will be coordinated by Tuan Pham and Melanie Marts as part of Workshops, Education and Training. Check out the NVPS website and various resource links.

We started the year off with a bang with an awe inspiring presentation from 19 year old Alex Mody. He is definitely someone to watch through the years! Our own, Scott Musson presented a super workshop on Black Light Photography with lots of hands-on opportunities for all of us. The extensive set-ups and photo presentation by Tom Brett made for a very enjoyable and educational evening. As we go to press, our first competition will have been completed and our September Members Gallery and Forum presenters will have shared their images and Lightroom experience.

Please mark your calendars NOW, for November 13th and 14th for the MANPE/Natures Vision Exhibition. All the information is on the website. I encourage you all to submit your best nature photography to be juried. Whether your image/s get juried in or not, it is a weekend that you won't want to miss. This is the highlight of the year for the 6 camera clubs in Northern VA. We will be needing many volunteers for this event. Please think about helping out.

Field Trips coming up in October are Great Falls and Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon, Wine & Music Festival. I encourage you all to enjoy the great weather and partake in these photographic venues.

We have a terrific year planned. I encourage you all to check our website regularly as there are new postings very often. I also hope that you will submit your winning competition, field trip, workshop, and other images to the editors to share with the rest of the club.

Many, many volunteers help make NVPS the best camera club in the area. I can't thank you enough for your incredible service to NVPS.
