Program:  A Camera with a Story

Do you have an old camera? Can you show it and share a memory from it or tell a story about it? Did you use it or was it used by someone else? The goal of the program is to provide a short history of the camera and talk about why the old equipment deserves respect and appreciation.

We have several members who have agreed to bring a camera, old photographs, and participate, but we have room for more. Please email Jim at:  j.philpottwoodturner@gmail.com to let him know if you want to join in the presentation. He will try to include “your” camera in the PowerPoint slide show.

Member Photo Share:  Theme this month is Hot Stuff

“We know this topic is pretty self explanatory.  Just open your door, take a picture of your yard, and you have a suitable entry. However, if you are feeling more creative, the topic includes all sorts of possibilities: cooking food, a solar eclipse, desert landscapes, that cool outfit you were wearing back in the day, fast cars, etc. So go for the obvious or dig through your files for the perfect entries.”  Bill Galloway

Please resize and rename your 2  images as follows:  1FirstName_LastName.jpg, 2FirstName_Last Name.jpg, and resize to 2000 pixels on the long side.  NOTE: Send them by email to photos@jerrysargent.com by August 15^th to insure they will be shown at the meeting.(Note: As always, if you prefer to submit something other than the theme topic, you may do so.)
