Theme postponed until February.  Jim Steele will not be the judge.

NVPS is most honored to have Jim Steele judge for our January 21, 2014 monthly competition. There is a theme this month and it is “Out Of Place”. We also will be having dinner with Jim at the Olive Garden Restaurant on Rte 7 and Gallows Rd. before the meeting and all members are invited; just let competitions@nvps.org know with a rsvp. Jim is a very creative and experienced photographer; so enter your images and receive valuable feedback from a well known and respected professional. Should be a fun event.
